Sidestone Press � Innovative Academic Publishing
� Founded by scholars, for scholars
� Believers in Open Science

Sidestone Press is an academic publishing house founded by scholars, for scholars. As a publisher we have one clear ambition, that is to make scientific information available to all. We believe scientific information should be available at all time, at all places and to each and every one. This means that the printing and selling of books is but one part of what we believe a good publisher should

do. Apart from printed books that can be found in libraries and bookstores around the world, Sidestone books can also be freely accessed online through different channels such as Google Books, Google Scholar and through our own digital ebook library. By offering access to our books for free, more people than ever have access to our publications. First of all this is beneficial for our authors as it greatly increases the exposure of their work, and in effect, the impact of their research. Second, of course, it enables our readers – scholars and students around the world – to access our publications at any time and at any place, including those parts of the world where access to good quality academic libraries is not guaranteed.

Coming soon: Prehistoric Shore Settlements of the Southwestern Balkans. New Perspectives on Regional Chronology Through Underwater Archaeological Investigations in Lake Ohrid. By Johannes Reich

This publication presents the first cross-border synthesis of data on prehistoric shore settlement sites in the southwestern Balkans. Archaeological settlement sites, located along lakeshores, rivers, and wetlands, are among the richest sources for prehistoric periods due to their exceptional waterlogged preservation. This study demonstrates the significant potential of shore settlement sites to establish a robust chronological reference framework for the region.

Out "soon": Durrington Walls and Woodhenge: a place for the living. Part 1: Survey and excavation. By Mike Parker Pearson, Joshua Pollard, Colin Richards, Julian Thomas, Chris Tilley† & Kate Welham.

This will be the long awaited volume 3 in a (now) 5 part series that publishes the results of the Stonehenge Riverside Project.

For many centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have been fascinated by Stonehenge, the world’s most famous stone circle. In 2003 a team of archaeologists commenced a long-term fieldwork project for the first time in decades. This volume reports on surveys and excavations of the great henge of Durrington Walls and its satellite, Woodhenge. Excavations uncovered remains of houses protected beneath the henge bank of Durrington Walls. Together with their middens, containing large quantities of ceramics, lithics and faunal remains, these houses provide a remarkable insight into life at the time of Stonehenge’s second stage of construction around 2500 BC.

The book will be available for free online reading, but surely a series of such a megalithic character is best appreciated in material form, so pre-order now: https://www.sidestone.com/books/durrington-walls-and-woodhenge-part-1

Medieval kings and kingship, and the rituals that define them, continue to captivate both scholars and the wider public. This interdisciplinary volume offers a Europe-wide perspective on early medieval kingship, with a particular focus on Scotland. Framed by recent archaeological excavations in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, England, and Scandinavia, this book presents a rich and innovative approach to the study of kingship in the early medieval period.
