The year is 1973 and changes are afoot in Great Yarmouth and
Brokencliff-on-Sea as the New Year comes in with bang! Return to a
simpler time when family holidays at the seaside were still fun and
electronic devices had never been heard of. The only sound that was
heard was the gentle lapping of the waves, the gulls circling
above, and the trot of the horse's hooves along the promenade and
music from the funfairs.
Studies of prehistoric exchange of goods provide information
about the types of economic interaction, social organization, or
political structures in which prehistoric peoples were engaged.
Long-distance exchange is a special situation where the materials
exchanged crossed significant boundaries, whether they were
geographic, social, political, or otherwise. By examining the types
and quantities of goods exchanged, along with the directions and
distances they moved, archaeologists are able to examine the
dynamic properties of exchange systems, i.e., how they operate and
why they undergo change.
The purpose of this volume is to present a number of case
studies of long-distance exchange from around the world which
demonstrate the use of geochemical analysis of artifacts to find
evidence of exchange. More important than the use of analytical
technique employed or the types of artifacts studied are the
interpretations themselves which illustrate that exchange studies
are maturing and helping archaeologists to develop more accurate
models of exchange.
