This book presents results and interpretations from The Sacred Hills Project - a subproject within The West Coast Line Project run by the National Heritage Board, Archaeological Excavations Department, with its branch office in Lund. The West Coast Line Project is a large-scale contract archaeology project, occasioned by the National Rail Administration’s expansion of the West Coast Railway Line in western Scania. The subproject and the book focus on the Late Neolithic-Bronze Age period, i.e. 2300-500 cal. BC, while other subprojects and archaeological periods are presented in other books from the project. The railway, and thus investigation area, is about 40 kilometers long reaching from the city of Helsingborg to Kävlinge, passing through many burial grounds.

“The papers in this volume explore how prehistoric Scandinavian burial ritual and religion can be interpreted and understood within contemporary Swedish contract archaeology. In different cases and from varying theoretical perspectives the authors demonstrated how the material culture in collective burial rituals was used to create and express everything from very functional and distinct religious results to individual, local and regional cultural identity. Emphasis is placed upon the interpretation of the actual dealings with the dead, the graves, the monuments, and burial-grounds in the landscape. Examples range from the Neolithic to the conversion to Christianity in the late Viking Age.”

The Danish expeditions to the sheikdoms along the Arabian Gulf were started in 1953 by Professor P.V. Glob. Year after year, archaeologists, ethnographers, architects, filmmakers, and artists traveled to the Gulf to investigate the culture and history of the area. From the sand, emerged vanished cities and temples of a 4,000-year-old civilization in the ancient land of Dilmun, which according to the myths was the Garden of Eden. An exquisite collection of photographs documents the unveiling of this mythic paradise.

Nithijo, Wagnijo, Swarta and 1000 other warriors attacked Eastern Jutland, but were decisively defeated. This book gives an account of the excavation and the detailed studies arising from one of the most impressive archaeological finds of our time, and the reader gains an insight into previously unknown and very surprising aspects of life in the Iron Age.

This is the first volume of the complete publication on Panskoye I, a rural settlment in North-Western Crimea dating from the period ca 400-270 B.C. Panskoye was founded by the city of Olbia, but half a century later its fortress was destroyed and the settlement subordinated to another Greek city, Chersonesos. After the incorporation of Panskoye into the chora of Cheronesos, a monumental building, known to the excavators as U6, was erected at Panskoye. This building provides invaluable archaeological information thanks to the unique combination of a very precise date with rich finds of sculpture, pottery, lamps, terracottas, coins, metals, stone and glass objects, and inscriptions. This comprehensive publication of the material from this building offers an extroadinary insight into the important issues in ancient history and classical archaeology: A Greek city’s exploitation of its territory and the interaction between Greek settlers and local tribes-in this case the Scythians and the Taurians.
