Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the early eighteenth century, the Indian Ocean was a dynamic crossroads of commerce, politics, and shifting power. European trading companies, Indigenous rulers and polities, and long-established merchant networks all competed and collaborated across a region stretching from the Red Sea to the South China Sea. This book explores that world through the remarkable career of one man: Sir Robert Cowan, an Irishman who rose from provincial origins in Derry to become Governor of Bombay and one of the East India Company's most influential servants.Drawing on Cowan's extraordinarily rich archive, one of the most extensive personal collections surviving for any Company servant, this book follows his journey from Derry to Bombay, and all stops in between. Through his letters, accounts, and private dealings, we see not only the daily realities of Company rule but also the vibrant network of personal relationships, patronage ties, and commercial opportunities that shaped life in the early modern Indian Ocean world. Cowan's pursuit of wealth, his role in diplomacy and security, and his navigation of both Company policy and private trade reveal the blurred lines between public duty and personal ambition that defined the age.Intended for readers interested in the history of empire, maritime trade, and the East India Company, this book offers a fresh perspective on a formative period in the Indian Ocean. By using Cowan's life and career as a lens, it illuminates the human connections and competing interests that underpinned the expansion of colonial power, and places Irish involvement in empire at the centre of British early modern colonial history. 214 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume brings together twenty peer-reviewed studies honouring the scholarly career of Berit V. Eriksen, whose research has been highly influential in the study of Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in central Europe and southern Scandinavia. The contributions focus on the Late Glacial and Early Holocene, a time marked by profound environmental, social, and technological transformations that reshaped hunter-gatherer lifeways.Reflecting both Eriksen's research interests and current debates in the field, the contributions address a broad range of themes in hunter-gatherer research. These include lithic technology and raw material procurement, long-distance connections and exotic materials, subsistence strategies, burial practices, and aesthetic expression. Several contributions emphasise methodological and theoretical innovation, employing approaches such as geophysical survey, palynology, isotopic analyses, and taphonomic studies to refine chronologies, reconstruct past environments and human-environmental interactions.Geographically, the volume spans across northern Germany, Denmark, southern Scandinavia, the Baltic region, and adjacent areas, offering case studies that illuminate both regional variability and wider patterns of transition. Particular attention is given to processes of change and continuity, including the emergence of Mesolithic lifeways, shifting relationships between humans, animals, and environments, and the complex responses of hunter-gatherer societies to climatic and ecological challenges. Together, the contributions question linear narratives of cultural development and highlight the diversity and dynamism of Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic worlds.Aimed at researchers, students, and readers with an interest in early prehistory, this volume presents new data, innovative interpretations, and critical reflections that advance our understanding of hunter-gatherer societies at the end of the Ice Age and the beginning of the Holocene, while celebrating Berit V. Eriksen's lasting impact on the discipline. 256 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite the wealth of material remains uncovered by archaeology, our understanding of how people in the past lived, worked, and thought remains fragmentary, especially fort he most ancient times. Many aspects of ancient technologies and daily practices are poorly documented in the archaeological record. Experimental archaeology connects theory with practice by recreating past techniques and technologies. By reconstructing ancient techniques, tools, and lifeways under controlled and replicable conditions, it allows researchers to test hypotheses, evaluate functional assumptions, and build data reference collections.This volume presents the proceedings of the 6th International Congress of Experimental Archaeology (CONEXP), held in Pézenas, France in 2022, hosted in collaboration with EXARC and leading European institutions. The book brings together over 33 contributions from different resarchers using experimental archaeology to interpret the archaeological record and past human behaviors.The contributions reflect the remarkable diversity within the experimental archaeology community, showcasing its vibrancy and interdisciplinary reach. From taphonomy to technology, ceramics to lithics and bone work, and from metallurgy to traceology, ritual practices, art, and subsistence strategies-this volume spans an impressive range of themes. Readers will find case-studies stretching from the Lower Palaeolithic to modern times, with examples drawn from across the globe. 424 pp. Englisch.…
