Since we already have a Thread on "New Discoveries" I though we needed one about interesting new books in archaeology and history, that could contain information on technological and military aspects.

So while searching I fell over some titles from Aarhus University Press and the Black Sea Studies.

1) "Die Einführung der Eisentechnologie in Südkaukasien und Ostanatolien wärend der Spätbronze- und Früheisenzeit".
(The Introduction of Iron-Technology in South-Caucasia and Eas- Anatolia during the Later Bronze Age and Early Iron Age).
A German Doctoral thesis by Jens Nieling.
Black Sea Studies (10)
Aarhus University Press.

The conclusion is that it was the Nomad Population (coming from the North) that brought in the Iron Technology to the Caucasus and it later influence the Assyrian and Neo-Hittite states to adopt Iron Technology!

2) From Goths to Varangians. Communication and Cultural Exchange Between the Baltic and the Black See.
Selection of papers from 4 meetings organized by the "Varangian Networks".
Ed: Line Bjerg, John H. Lind & Søren Michael Sindbæk.

I have 1 question, Niels:
Who are the Varangian Networks?
