Schipluiden
The neolithic settlement of Schipluiden was discovered by archaeologists called in to the Delfland region in 2000, where a new wastewater treatment plant was planned. It is a particularly interesting site, as it dates from a time when the local inhabitants switched from a hunter-gatherer-fisher lifestyle to one based around arable and stock farming, and was also a time of significant environmental change.
Jan Gossart and the Invention of Netherlandish Antiquity
This is the first in-depth historical study of Jan Gossart (ca. 1478–1532), one of the most important painters of the Renaissance in northern Europe. Providing a richly illustrated narrative of the Netherlandish artist's life and art, Marisa Anne Bass shows how Gossart’s paintings were part of a larger cultural effort in the Netherlands to assert the region’s ancient heritage as distinct from the antiquity and presumed cultural hegemony of Rome. Focusing on Gossart’s vibrant, monumental mythological nudes, the book challenges previous interpretations by arguing that Gossart and his patrons did not slavishly imitate Italian Renaissance models but instead sought to contest the idea that the Roman past gave the Italians a monopoly on antiquity. Drawing on many previously unused primary sources in Latin, Dutch, and French, Jan Gossart and the Invention of Netherlandish Antiquity offers a fascinating new understanding of both the painter and the history of northern European art at large.

Hundert Jahre Forschungen zum antiken Mythos (1918/20–2018/20)
Eine informative Gesamtorientierung über die internationale Forschung zum antiken Mythos in den letzten hundert Jahren war schon seit langem ein wissenschaftliches Desiderat. Dieser Forschungsbericht, hervorgegangen aus einer fünf Dezennien umfassenden ‚Arbeit am Mythos‘, bezieht sich als erster seiner Art als selektive Übersicht nicht nur auf den traditionellen altertumswissenschaftlichen Kernbereich (von den altorientalischen Vorlagen über die frühgriechischen Anfänge und die weitere Entwicklung in der griechisch-römischen Gesamtkultur bis zur christlichen Spätantike), sondern auch auf den in der Forschung zunehmend beachteten rezeptionsgeschichtlichen Zusatzbereich (von Byzanz...
Roman Decorative Stone Collections in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
At the turn of the twentieth century, Francis W. Kelsey began to amass a large collection of artifacts from ancient sites across the Mediterranean, with an emphasis on Imperial Rome, to broaden the teaching of antiquity at the University of Michigan. Among the objects now housed in the museum that bears his name is a collection of seven hundred colorful stones dating to the Roman period, one of the largest and most varied collections of Roman decorative stones outside Europe. These pieces were obtained as archaeological artifacts, mostly architectural, with many deriving from well-known ancient buildings, such as the Baths of Diocletian in Rome and the Palace of Herod in Jericho, allowing fo...
