Contents: From archaeology to archaeologies: themes, challenges and borders of the ‘other’ past (Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw, Eleni Stefanou) 2) An insider‘s view of an alternative archaeology (Michael Cremo) 3) Performance, participation and pyramids: addressing meaning and method behind alternative archaeology in Visoko, Bosnia (Tera Pruitt) 4) Marginal and mainstream. All these agendas have in common the fact that, through their differentiated readings and appropriations of the past, they create solidarities amongst their supporters. The field of so-called ‘fringe’ or ‘alternative’ archaeology is vast and multifaceted, ranging from pseudoarchaeology, ‘bad’ archaeology practices, conspiracy theories and claims about lost civilizations to extraterrestrial cultures, (neo)shamanism, religious and/or nationalist demands. The idea for this volume emerged from critical self-reflection about diverse archaeological practices in a session presented at the 13th European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting (Zadar, Croatia, 2007), in particular the conflicting relationship between the ‘mainstream’ and the ‘alternative’.

A bunch of mischievous young people staying at the house decide to surprise their friend, an amiable but vacuous young man called Gerry Wade, notorious for sleeping in late. Though the grand estate of Chimneys doesn’t feature as much in this book, it’s where the story kicks off, with a practical joke that turns into tragedy. For this reason, they do feel like unique standalones in her oeuvre. Christie’s writing can often be funny, but I don’t think she ever got as deliberately comical and Wodehousian as she did with these loosely connected mysteries. Somehow I completely missed out on these two early novels back in the days, and it’s fair to say that they were the pleasant surprise of this re-readathon. A sorta-sequel to The Secret of Chimneys, this high-spirited thriller is equally enjoyable, and showcases Dame Agatha’s criminally underrated sense of humour.
