Drawing on case studies that range from the early Iron Age
Mediterranean to medieval Britain, the contributing authors
showcase the importance of looking at strong social ties in the
transmission of complex information, which requires relationships
structured through mutual trust, memory, and reciprocity. They
highlight the importance of sanctuaries in the process of
information transmission; the power of narrative in creating a
sense of community even across geographical space; and the control
of social systems in order to facilitate or stifle new information
transfer. This book demonstrates the value of searching the past
for powerful social connections, offers us the chance to tell more
human stories through our analyses, and represents an essential new
addition to the study and use of networks in archaeology and
history. The book will be useful to academics and students working
in the Digital Humanities, History, Archaeology.
