Blood
Red Roses: The Archaeology of a mass grave from the Battle of Towton AD
1461
by Veronica Fiorato (Editor), et al
The Wars of the Roses are undoubtedly one of the most turbulent periods
of English history, and the Battle of Towton reputedly the most bloody
battle of any fought on English soil. In 1996 a construction company preparing
to build a garage near the site of the battlefield discovered the first
mass grave of soldiers ever found on British soil. It contained the remains
of up to 51 soldiers who had clearly suffered violent and brutal deaths.

of Native American Bows, Arrows, & Quivers : Northeast, Southeast,
and Midwest
by Steve Allely, Jim Hamm
Native Americans and their elegant weapons have provided an undeniable
mystique for archers, history buffs, collectors, and anyone who appreciates
traditional skills. For the first time, authors Allely and Hamm have brought
together the most exceptional archery pieces from eastern tribes such as
the Mohegan, Mohawk, Cherokee, Seminole, Chippewa, and Winnebago. Beautifully
detailed full-page pen-and-ink drawings give dimensions, decorations, and
construction details on more than a hundred historic bows, scores of arrows,
and two dozen quivers. The running commentary is drawn from research conducted
in museums around the world, and gives insights into who used these instruments
and how. This pathbreaking and comprehensive book will strongly appeal
to all those with an abiding interest in Native Americans and archery.

Eleusis
by Karl Kerenyi, et al
The Sanctuary of Eleusis, near Athens, was the center of a religious
cult that endured for nearly two thousand years and whose initiates came
from all parts of the civilized world. Looking at the tendency to "see
visions," C. Kerenyi examines the Mysteries of Eleusis from the standpoint
not only of Greek myth but also of human nature. Kerenyi holds that the
yearly autumnal "mysteries" were based on the ancient myth of Demeter's
search for her ravished daughter Persephone--a search that he equates not
only with woman's quest for completion but also with every person's pursuit
of identity. As he explores what the content of the mysteries may have
been for those who experienced them, he draws on the study of archaeology,
objects of art, and religious history, and suggests rich parallels from
other mythologies.

Book Description: The relentlessly self-promoting amateur archaeologist
Heinrich Schliemann took full credit for discovering Homer's Troy over
one hundred years ago, and since then generations have thrilled to the
tale of his ambitions and achievements. But Schliemann gained this status
as an archaeological hero partly by deliberately eclipsing the man who
had launched his career. Now, at long last, Susan Heuck Allen puts the
record straight in this fascinating archaeological adventure that restores...

The
Mummies of Urumchi
by E. J. W. Barber, Elizabeth Wayland Barber
The 2000-year-old mummies of Urumchi, found in central Asia along the
famed Silk Road trading route, are so well preserved as to show clearly
that they seem to be of Caucasoid origin. Where did these people come from?
Where did they go? You can find their pale-skinned, light-haired descendents
among the people of the region, but the story of their presence in this
forbidding land leaves more mysteries than it answers. Mass migrations
during the Bronze Age scattered many peoples across Europe and Asia, and
these startlingly lively-looking mummies may help answer some questions
about this period of human history. Their intact, fantastically colored
and patterned clothing captures much of author Elizabeth Wayland Barber's
attention--she is an expert on prehistoric textiles. Her enthusiastic descriptions
of the sewing skills of these migrant people, while focusing on details,
lend an immediacy to this fascinating tale. Black-and-white as well as
color photos, maps, and diagrams illustrate Barber's colorful tale of anthropology.
