Euan MacKie
The Megalith Builders
BCA 1977. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6.5" x 9.5. H/B 208 pages condition is very good. Huge chambered tombs then circles and avenues of massive standing stones at their most impressive at New Grange and Maes Howe or at Stonehenge and Carnac were raised all along the Atlantic seaboard of Europe from Spain to the Orkneys some 5000 years ago. These are the megaliths mighty feats of engineering in any language first created in Neolithic farming communities who till then had shown no other signs of the administrative and technical organization that such large-scale projects would have called for. In recent years the megaliths have been put down to purely local invention and it has been denied that the necessary architectural expertise may have been introduced by outsiders. But in this book Euan MacKie assembles fresh evidence from Carbon 14 dating from analysis of evolving constructional styles in the tombs and from calculations of the standing stones' astronomical significance and re-assesses the diffusionist theory of a common source of expertise in the light of present-day studies of the way human societies develop. With this new insight into the minds of their builders he proposes an ambitious new solution to the mystery of the megaliths. <br/> <br/> BCA hardcover

Mycenaean Wall Painting in Context - New Discoveries Old Finds Reconsidered
<p>Athens: National Hellenic Research Foundation 2015. Brand new. <em>Meletemata </em>Series No. 72. In English. Hard cover 28 cm 404 pp. ill.; net weight 2050 gr.</p><p>ISBN: 978-960-9538-34-3.</p><p><em>During the recent decades many new Mycenaean wall paintings have been brought to light and older finds have been restored and reconstructed afresh in light of newly found joining fragments. These paintings derive both from palatial and non-palatial contexts from major centers on the mainland including Mycenae Tiryns Argos Pylos Thebes Orchomenos and Gla and from recently excavated sites such as Iklaina in Messenia. However in contrast to the corpora of Minoan and Cycladic wall paintings Mycenaean paintings have survived in poor physical condition. For the most part they are highly fragmentary and lack iconographic and contextual coherence. This lavishly illustrated book including many full-page details offers an up to date insight into new discoveries of Mycenaean wall painting and new iconographic interpretations of old material excavated long ago but never properly published. It is therefore likely to fill a large gap in our knowledge of Mycenaean wall painting and Aegean wall painting in general and help us to gain a better understanding of the visual language of Mycenaean painting and of how it was employed in the murals that adorned Mycenaean buildings.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>CONTENTS:</strong></p><p>Preface</p><p><strong>Conceptual and Geographical Contexts:</strong></p><p>John Bennet Telltale Depictions: A Contextual View of Mycenaean Wall-Paintings</p><p>Andreas G.

Archaeological Investigations in Platte and Clay Counties Missouri
vi284 pages with plates diagrams tables two folding and index. Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Appendix Skeletal Remains from Platte and Clay Counties Missouri by T Dale Steward. United States National Museum Bulletin 183. First edition.<br /><br />The Renner village is one of a number of prehistoric Indian sites that are located near the junction of Line Creek and the Missouri River. There is some evidence of Paleo-Indian and other lithic complexes in the neighborhood but the most notable remains are those of the Renner Hopewell and a Middle Mississippi village site which has been largely destroyed by the construction of buildings. The pottery fragments recovered from the Renner site are most exclusively Hopewellian. Middle Mississippi shards do occur but are rare as are the other diagnostic artifacts and remains of that culture. No Black Sand shards have been recovered and the early rimshards of the Middle Woodland culture are in a definite minority when compared to the crosshatched and rocker decorated ones. Study of the village material tends to advance the thought that the site was occupied later than at Shields another Middle Woodland Period site along the Missouri River in Clay County and that it too continued to be occupied until succeeding developments eventually culminated in the Late Woodland complex which is indicated by certain potsherds and the small notched arrow points. Some of the pottery vessels have forms that do not seem to be in the pattern of the usual Hopewell types. In a few specimens the older decorations will be found on a vessel that in its form surely is a later innovation. Throughout all these changes the tempering material continues to be grit and the shards are of a hardness of three or harder. This is typical of the Hopewell pottery from all sites in this area.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br /> Previous owner's name on front wrapper tear at front heal hinge edges chipped an unread copy with many pages still uncut else a very good copy.

Following the publication of his findings from the spectacular excavations at Hisarlik the Turkish government revoked Schliemann's permission to dig and sued him for a share of the treasure trove Schlieman had uncovered. He was thus obliged to establish a new dig which he did at Mycenae in the Peloponnese and which was attended by similarly remarkable results culminating in the uncovering of the famous "Mask of Agamemnon". . Head and heel moderately worn with minor loss some white soiling on spine front hinge cracked internally otherwise unmarked tight and square. A lovely copy of this historically important publication.
