Tracing Prehistoric Social Networks through Technology (Routledge Studies in Archaeology)
Description
This volume investigates smaller and larger networks of contacts within and
across the Aegean and nearby regions, covering periods from the Neolithic
until Classical times (6000–323 BC). It explores the world of technologies,
crafts and archaeological ‘left-overs’ in order to place social and
technological networks in their larger economic and political contexts. By
investigating ways of production, transport/distribution, and consumption,
this book covers a chronologically large period in order to expand our
understanding of wider cultural developments inside the geographical
boundaries of the Aegean and its regions of contact in the east Mediterranean.
This book brings together scholars’ expertise in a variety of different fields
ranging from historical archaeology (using textual evidence), archaeometry,
geoarchaeology, experimental work, archaeobotany, and archaeozoology. Chapters
in this volume study and contextualize archaeological remains and explore
networks of crafts-people, craft traditions, or people who employed various
technologies to survive. Central questions in this context are how and why
traditions, techniques, and technologies change or remain stable, or where and
why cross-cultural boundaries developed and disintegrated. Read more
