Experimental Archaeology is an approach to the study of life in the past which attempts to throw light on early man's activities by practical reconstruction. This book, first published in 1979, picks out the major trends in experimental archaeology but the choice of work described is selective and represents the author's interest in archaeological experiment as an important means of retrieving and explaining evidence about early societies. Included is a new Preface to the 2010 Printing by Roeland Paardekooper describing the continued development of the subject of experimental archaeology as a course of study, its role in research, and its integration into more general studies of the past through archaeology. The first chapter is an historical treatment of experimental archaeology, questioning the evidence and devising new approaches. The following chapters look at ocean voyages, the production of food and the building of houses, the manufacture and use of tools and weapon

Have you found your pathway to being in God’s presence? There are many pathways, but the main idea is for God to find us, not for us to find him. When he comes, as you can imagine, it is a wonderful, wonderful experience. However, so many of us are unknowingly hiding, if not running away, from his presence. Ours is truly a fearsome God when the only focus of our attentions is upon ourselves. This book is just one of many paths to his presence, and it starts in a place where many of us find ourselves in today’s modern world—stressed out. From his many years of experience as a college psychotherapist, John Coles explores his journey in hopes that it can aid others in their pathways to God’s presence. He explores the following: • The everyday challenges to living a life of love and thus a life with God • The scriptures for using psychology to become like “the lilies of the field” • The difficulty in the decision for changing one’s pattern of living • The thought patterns needed to be adopted for a Christian and loving life • The simple prayer solution that is shown in scripture and psychology • The simple way to optimize the chances for God to make his presence felt
