ISBN: 9780415215978 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The period from 6500 to 2500 BC was one of the most dynamic eras of the prehistory of south-eastern Europe, for it saw many fundamental changes in the ways in which people lived their lives.

The key developments are seen as the creation...

Balkan Prehistory: Exclusion, Incorporation and Identity
ISBN: 9780415215985 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Douglass Bailey's volume fills the huge gap that existed for a comprehensive synthesis, in English, of the archaeology of the Balkans between 6,500 and 2,000 BC; much research on the prehistory of Eastern Europe was inaccessible to a western audience before now, because of linguistic barriers.
Bailey argues against traditional interpretations of the period, which focus on the origins of agriculture and animal breeding. He demonstrates that this was a period when monumental social and material changes occurred in the lives of the people in this region, with new technologies and ways of...

An Archaeology of Natural Places
ISBN: 9780415221498 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume explores why natural places such as caves, mountains, springs and rivers assumed a sacred character in European prehistory, and how the evidence for this can be analysed in the field.

The discussion is illustrated through a wide range of European examples, and three extended case studies.

The remains of several thousand castles shed a light on the experiences of Ireland during these centuries. As objects meant to display their lord's power and prestige, castles had to be impressive, and uniformity denied that. The author of this volume weaves evidence from the castles into the story of the nature and development of lordship and power in medieval Ireland. The physical remains of the castles reflect the different roles of the competing lordships: English and Irish; feudal and Gaelic; royal and baronial. He...

ISBN: 9780415230018 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many dryland regions contain archaeological remains which suggest that there must have been intensive phases of settlement in what now seem to be dry and degraded environments. Many people have speculated about what must have happened to turn past glories into present day barrenness, opinions generally dividing between climatic change and human activity as the primary culprit. Perhaps climate shifted to greater aridity, perhaps catastrophic but short-term droughts became too frequent? Or was it that people sowed the seeds of their own destruction, for example by removing trees or developing...
