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.
