Ellis loves popcorn. No, she REALLY loves popcorn. It's serious. So
when her school and her dads ban all snack foods-INCLUDING
POPCORN-Ellis won't listen. But when she tries to quietly sneak her
favorite salty snack, one kernel refuses to pop. LOUDLY. Soon, the
kernel has sprouted a face, arms, and legs! He's alive, his name is
Popcorn Bob, and he is NOT in a good mood. He is HANGRY. Will Ellis
be able to keep Bob a secret until she can get rid of him? (And
after a few days with him, will she still want to?)
Defining "culture" is an important step in undertaking
archaeological research. Any thorough study of a particular culture
first has to determine what that culture contains-- what particular
time period, geographic region, and group of people make up that
culture. The study of archaeology has many accepted definitions of
particular cultures, but recently these accepted definitions have
come into question. As archaeologists struggle to define cultures,
they also seek todefine the components of culture.
This volume brings together 21 international case studies to
explore the meaning of "culture" for regions around the globe and
periods from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age and beyond. Taking
lessons and overarching themes from these studies, the contributors
draw important conclusions about cultural transmission, technology
development, and cultural development.
The result is a comprehensive model for approaching the study of
culture, broken down into regions (Russia, Continental Europe,
North America, Britain, and Africa), materials (Lithics, Ceramics,
Metals) and time periods. This work will be valuable to all
archaeologists and cultural anthropologists, particularly those
studying material culture."
This book covers the methodological, epistemological and practical
issues of integrating qualitative and socio-anthropological factors
into archaeological modeling. This text fills the gap between
conceptual modeling (which usually relies on narratives describing
the life of a past community) and formalized/computer-based
modeling which are usually environmentally-determined. Methods
combining both environmental and social issues through niche and
agent-based modeling are presented. These methods help to translate
data from paleo-environmental and archaeological society life
cycles (such as climate and landscape changes) into the local
spatial scale. The epistemological discussions will appeal to
readers as well as the resilience socio-anthropological factors
provide facing climatic fluctuations. Integrating Qualitative and
Social Science Factors in Archaeological Modelling will appeal to
students and researchers in the field.

This is the first volume charting the CAU's on-going Barleycroft
Farm/Over investigations, which now encompasses almost twenty years
of fieldwork across both banks of the River Great Ouse at its
junction with the Fen. Amongst the project's main directives is the
status of a major river in prehistory - when a communication
corridor and when a divide? Accordingly, a key component throughout
has been the documentation of the lower Ouse's complex
palaeoenvironmental history, and a delta-like wet landscape dotted
with mid-stream islands has been mapped. This book is specifically
concerned with the length of The Over Narrows, whose naming alludes
to an extraordinary series of mid-channel 'river race' ridges. With
their excavation generating vast artefact sets and unique
palaeo-economic data, these ridges saw intense settlement
sequences, ranging from Mesolithic camps, Grooved Ware, Beaker and
Collared Urn pit clusters (plus field plots) to Middle Bronze
fieldsystems and their attendant settlements, a massive Late Bronze
Age midden complex and, finally, an Iron Age shrine. The latter
involved extensive human bone or body-part deposition and bird
sacrifice. Four upstanding turf barrows and two accompanying
waterlogged pond barrows feature among the main excavations
reported here. With more than 40 cremations (including in situ
pyres), the resultant detailing of Early Bronze Age mortuary
practices and the insights into the period's monument construction
are ground-breaking. This is an important book, for the scale of
The Narrows' excavations and palaeoenvironmental studies, its
comprehensive dating programmes and, particularly, the innovative
methodologies and analyses undertaken. Indeed, a commitment to
experiment has lain at the project's core.
Many countries in northern Europe have seen a huge expansion in
development-led archaeology over the past few decades. Legislation,
frameworks for heritage management and codes of practice have
developed along similar but different lines. The Valetta Convention
has had considerable impact on spatial planning and new legislation
on archaeological heritage management within EC countries as well
as on the funding, nature and distribution of archaeological
fieldwork. For the first time these 12 papers bring together data
on developer-led archaeology in Britain, Ireland, France, the Low
Countries, Germany and Denmark in order to review and evaluate key
common issues relating to organisation, practice, legal frameworks
and quality management.
A touch of history. An Iowa sharecroppers son describes the

The Later Prehistory of North-West Europe provides a unique,
up-to-date, and easily accessible synthesis of the later
prehistoric archaeology of north-west Europe, transcending
political and language barriers that can hinder understanding. By
surveying changes in social forms, landscape organization, monument
types, and ritual practices over six millennia, the volume
reassesses the prehistory of north-west Europe from the late
Mesolithic to the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age. It explores how
far common patterns of social development are apparent across
north-west Europe, and whether there were periods when local
differences were emphasized instead. In relation to this, it also
examines changes through time in the main axes of contact between
the various regions of continental Europe, Britain, and Ireland.
Key to the volume's broad scope is its focus on the vast mass of
new evidence provided by recent development-led excavations. The
authors collate data that has been gathered on thousands of sites
across Britain, Ireland, northern France, the Low Countries,
western Germany, and Denmark, using sources including unpublished
'grey literature' reports. The results challenge many aspects of
previous narratives of later prehistory, allowing the volume to
present a distinctively fresh perspective.

Aims at synthesizing the available archaeological evidence for the
Bell Beaker phenomenon. The core of the work consists of chapters
which respectively offer synthetic regional accounts of the Bell
Beaker material expressions. These chapters first deal with
north-western and central Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark,
Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland), second with
western Europe (France, Italy, Iberian Peninsula) and last with the
British Isles. For the sake of comparison, which remains the
ultimate goal of this research, all chapters are organized along
the same lines and start with an examination of the various local
substrata. Includes appendix of C14 dates. In French with English
abstract.
