Books in the New Directions in Anthropological Archaeology series

This book brings attention to the magnitude of the frequently silent loss of cultural heritage occurring worldwide because of the lack of preservation of original data, notes, plans and photographs of excavated archaeological sites.

Peripheral Concerns examines the influence of one "core" region of the ancient Near Eastern world-Egypt-on urban development in the southern Levant in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, with emphasis on the relative stability and sustainability of this development in each era.

Drawing on recent archaeological research at the site of Diouboye in eastern Senegal, this book explores social life in medieval Bambuk from the standpoint of a village occupied over several centuries (1000-1400 CE).
