Embracing The Salt Marsh - Foraging, Farming And Food Preparation In The Dutch-German Coastal Area Up To Ad 1600. Studies In Honour Of Annet Nieuwhof

33,13€ + 10% CARD

 From a modern-day perspective, it may seem odd that people should have chosen to dwell in the open salt-marsh landscape along the Wadden Sea coast. While the beauty of the salt marshes is widely acknowledged, the idea of living there seems to suggest struggle and misery. Yet the salt-marsh settlers, dwelling on their settlement mounds or terps, did not just ‘survive’ or ‘get by’, but actually managed to live a good life, by embracing this marshy world and its peculiarities. This collection of papers focuses on foraging, farming and food preparation in the context of the salt-marsh environment. The various contributions celebrate the career and work of Annet Nieuwhof, who has been an inspirational colleague and great friend to many of us. She passionately embraced terp research, always actively stimulating cooperation across disciplines as well as national borders. Reflecting some of Annet''s wide-ranging interests, the present volume is dedicated to her in friendship and gratitude.

De Zuiderzee Als Transportlandschap - Historische Maritieme Archeologie Van De Turfvaart (1550-1700)

by Waldus W.B. Waldus

51,66€ + 10% CARD

 Binnenvaart over de Zuiderzee is zeer belangrijk geweest voor de spectaculaire groei van de vroegmoderne Nederlandse economie (1550-1700). Dat concludeert promovendus Wouter Waldus. Hij heeft voor zijn promotie de vloot van de turfschipperij op de Zuiderzee goed onderbouwd berekend en vergeleken met andere sectoren. Daarnaast heeft hij de Zuiderzee als maritiem transportlandschap volledig in kaart gebracht: vaarroutes, markeringen, redes, etc.. Zo kon hij het unieke karakter van het binnenvaartnetwerk duidelijk maken. Waldus vond tijdens zijn onderzoek ook aanwijzingen voor gezinsbewoning aan boord van binnenschepen rond 1650, veel vroeger dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen.

Manual For The Identification Of Plant Seeds And Fruits - Second Revised Edition

by Bekker R.M. Bekker e Cappers R.T.J. Cappers

49,03€ + 10% CARD

 The taxonomic and ecological identification of individual seeds and fruits of wild and cultivated plants is not always straightforward. This book helps you to get started, and also serves as a basis for further identification. It describes the inflorescence(s) and infructescence(s) seen in each of a set of 30 plant families, as well as the morphology of the seeds and fruits (with special emphasis on typology), the dispersal units (diaspores), and, if present, heterodiaspory. The manual is richly illustrated with 640 color photos of inflorescences, infructescences, seeds, fruits, and diaspores. Technical terms are described in a glossary. Indices of scientific plant names and subject names are included. This book will be of interest not only to those engaged in the identification of seeds and fruits, such as those who work in seed testing, but also to taxonomists, ecologists, archaeobotanists, and florists who wonder what they are looking at. This handbook is a completely revised version of the first edition, which was published in 2013. An important adaptation relates to new developments in plant taxonomy and the classification of fruits and diaspores. The number of plant families has been extended from 19 to 30.

When The Shore Becomes The Sea - New Maritime Archaeological Insights On The Dynamic Development Of The Northeastern Zuyder Zee Region (Ad 1100 - 1400), The Netherlands

by Van Popta Yftinus Van Popta

30,48€ + 10% CARD

 For centuries, the Dutch landscape and her inhabitants have been connected to the water, sometimes lovingly, sometimes full of fear and often with awe. This is also reflected in the theme of this doctoral research: late medieval storm surges of the Zuiderzee on the one hand caused the loss of land and settlements in the heart of the Netherlands, while on the other hand these floods created new maritime trade routes that would eventually bring great wealth. The current research focuses more specifically on reconstructing (the development of) the landscape and habitation in the northeastern part of the Zuiderzee (the current Noordoostpolder) between approximately 1100 and 1400 AD. The research shows that in less than 500 years the research area transformed from unexplored and uninhabited peat areas with lakes into open sea, removing virtually all remnants of land reclamation, cultivation and habitation.

Handbook Of Plant Palaeoecology - Second Revised Edition

by Cappers R.T.J. Cappers e Neef R. Neef

33,13€ + 10% CARD

 This handbook is a completely revised version of the first edition, which was published in 2012. Plant palaeoecologists use data from plant fossils and plant subfossils to reconstruct ecosystems and food economies of the past. This book deals with the study of subfossil plant material retrieved from archaeological excavations and cores dated to the Late Glacial and the Holocene. One of the main objectives of this book is to describe the processes that underlie the formation of the archaeobotanical archive and the ultimate composition of the archaeobotanical record - being the data that are sampled and identified from this immense archive.

Ezinge Revisited - The Ancient Roots Of A Terp Settlement - Volume 1: Excavation; Environment And Economy; Catalogue Of Plans And Finds

by Nieuwhof Annet Nieuwhof

43,71€ + 10% CARD

 The excavations at Ezinge between 1923 and 1934 are among the most famous excavations in the history of Dutch archaeology. The excellent preservation of organic remains, especially the impressive remnants of houses from the pre-Roman Iron Age, attracted a great deal of attention even during the excavations. In northwestern European archaeology, Ezinge has for a long time been considered exemplary of a late-prehistoric settlement, and many publications still refer to it. Yet this excavation has never been published in full. Analysis of the wealth of data that the excavations in Ezinge provided was simply too complicated. The analysis and publication of the excavation results has been resumed in 2011, now with the aid of databases and handmade local pottery as a fine dating instrument. This book, which will be published in two volumes, is written not only to reveal what was hidden in the archives, it also aims at presenting new insights into the habitation history of Ezinge and of terp settlements in general, by combining excavation results with the findings and interpretations of modern research. This first volume describes the excavation itself, the salt marsh landscape that formed the natural environment of the terp settlements before embankment was undertaken in the Middle Ages, and the way the inhabitants made a living in this extreme natural environment. A major part of this volume is occupied by a catalog of excavation plans with the accompanying finds and finds descriptions. Volume 2 will be devoted to the buildings and the habitation history since the first settlers arrived around 500 BC, and will also describe and discuss what we can learn about ritual practice and social life from the Ezinge findings.

Excavations At Wijnaldum - Volume 2: Handmade And Wheel-Thrown Pottery Of The First Millennium Ad

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 Wijnaldum is nowadays an unassuming rural village in the north of the province of Friesland, no more than a small dot on the map of the Netherlands. But during the Early Middle Ages, this probably was a lively political center, a kingdom, with intensive contacts with other kingdoms along the North Sea coasts, and with the Frankish realm to the south. The search for the king that resided at Wijnaldum was the major goal of the excavations that were carried out at the terp Wijnaldum-Tjitsma between 1991 and 1993. These excavations yielded a wealth of information, although tangible remains of the king or a royal residence were not found. What was found was a lot of pottery. The ceramic assemblage from the first Millennium consists of local handmade and imported wheel-thrown pottery, revealing contacts with the wider world. The first results and an overview of the habitation phases were published in 1999, in Volume 1 of The Excavations at Wijnaldum. The ceramic assemblage, and its consequences for the habitation history of Wijnaldum, are the main subjects of this second volume.

Swifterbant S4 (The Netherlands) - Occupation And Exploitation Of A Neolithic Levee Site (C. 4300-4000 Cal. Bc)

29,81€ + 10% CARD

 This publication presents the results of the 2005-2007 excavations at Swifterbant S4, carried out by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology. S4 is a well-preserved Neolithic wetland site (c. 4300-4000 cal. BC) located within the Swifterbant river system in the Netherlands. We present the landscape setting, the various finds categories and the spatial patterns with three research themes in mind. Theme 1 concerns the environmental setting, subsistence and site function. We conclude that the Swifterbant hunter-gatherer-farmers exploited a mosaic-type landscape. Theme 2 deals with developments in site function during the occupation and exploitation history of the site. This analysis leads to the observation that episodes of cultivation and settlement alternated at S4. Theme 3, the use of space, was difficult to study due to the fragmented nature of the excavation plan. This site monograph makes Swifterbant S4 the most comprehensively published site of the Swifterbant river system.
