In many regions of Europe and beyond fortifications belong to the
most impressive of archaeological remains. Their study has a long
tradition and today a multitude of aspects about architecture,
function or symbolism has been explored. However, fortifications
are generally examined in a temporally, regionally or culturally
limited context. Going a step further, this volume aims to bring
into focus concepts of fortifications, which can be socially,
symbolically or functionally, but also chronologically and
supra-regionally aligned. An important question is to determine
which fortification elements are culture-specific, and which can be
regarded as convergence or even universal phenomena. Adopting a
comparative view, the central aim of the volume is to highlight the
diversity and the structural similarities of ancient
fortifications. The chronological framework goes from the Neolithic
to the Late Iron Age, and the geographical scope from the Ural
steppes to the Iberian Peninsula.
