Bianca Preda-Bălănică, Bronze Age Kurgans in Southern Romania(The Yamnaya Impact on Prehistoric Europe 6)Budapest 2025ISBN 978-615-5766-72-5302 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb. / num. colour and b/w-figs., 28 x 20 cm; kartoniert/hardcover Utilising a systematic methodology, this volume offers an in-depth analysis of various aspects of mortuary practices, including kurgan stratigraphy, the orientation of the deceased, bioanthropological and genetic evidence, grave goods, and chronological assessments. The research identifies distinct phases of burial rituals, categorising them into pre-Yamnaya, Early and Late Yamnaya, Katakombnaya, Middle Bronze Age/Mnogovalikovaya, and Late Bronze Age/Sabatinovka-Noua-Coslogeni, spanning the time from the 4th to the 2nd millennia BC. The insights gleaned from this research reveal the intricate relationships between local customs and the influences of steppe populations over time. The study sheds light on the complexities of mobility, interaction, and cultural admixture, as well as the evolution of burial practices and material culture during the Bronze Age. Bronze Age Kurgans in Southern Romania is poised to become a vital resource for scholars interested in the dynamics of prehistoric societies, offering perspectives on how cultural identities were shaped and transformed across centuries.

Farbabb./num. colour figs., 28 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverWad Ben Naga Report V: The Palace of Amanishakhete deals with an analysis and interpretation of multiple aspects of this archaeological structure. The volume represents the first comprehensive account on the best-preserved royal palace of the Meroitic period, thus potentially contributing to discussions on Meroitic prestigious architecture, administration, material culture, royal ideology, etc.In the first part, various sources of information on the Palace of Amanishakhete are presented and analysed. Chapter 2 deals with the evaluation of collected parts of field records from largely unpublished 1958–1960 excavations in the palace, as well as evaluation of some contemporary accounts. Chapter 3 represents an archaeological report on a recent survey, excavations, and re­excavations in the palace by the Archaeological Expedition to Wad Ben Naga. Chapters 4 and 5 comprise the analysis of all non-ceramic and ceramic finds, respectively, from both the previous and recent excavations. A catalogue of all recorded finds from the 1958–1960 excavations in the palace forms an appendix to the volume.The second part focuses on four research problems addressing different aspects of the structure. Chapter 6 concerns the architectural form of the palace. In chapter 7, chronological setting of various events and activities recorded in the spatial context of the palace is discussed. Chapter 8 is dedicated to various functions of the spatial context of the palace, both during the primary and secondary occupations. In chapter 9, positions of the palace at the site and in the socio-economic, political, and ideological landscape of the Meroitic kingdom are assessed.
