Throughout history, a large portion of the world's population has
lived under imperial rule. Although scholars do not always agree on
when and where the roots of imperialism lie, most would agree that
imperial configurations have affected human history so profoundly
that the legacy of ancient empires continues to structure the
modern world in many ways. Empires are best described as
heterogeneous and dynamic patchworks of imperial configurations in
which imperial power was the outcome of the complex interaction
between evolving colonial structures and various types of agents in
highly contingent relationships. The goal of this volume is to
harness the work of the "next generation" of empire scholars in
order to foster new theoretical and methodological perspectives
that are of relevance within and beyond archaeology and to
foreground empires as a cross-cultural category. This book
demonstrates how archaeological research can contribute to our
conceptualization of empires across disciplinary boundaries.
