The Archaeology of Nucleation in the Old World explores the role of
the built environment in expressing and shaping community
organization and identity at prehistoric and historic nucleated
settlements and early cities in the Old World. The spatial layout
of large settlements results from the interaction of social,
political, economic, and religious orders. Subsequent structural
changes governed by the application, manipulation, and challenges
of these orders yield a dynamic built environment which influences
the processes of organization and identity formation. Taking
advantage of advances in archaeological methods and theory that
allow investigations of nucleated settlements to an extent and
depth of detail that was previously impossible, the contributors to
this volume address specific topics, such as how the built
environment and location of activity zones help us to understand
social configurations; how various scales of social units can be
recognized and the resulting patterns interpreted; how collective
actions contribute to settlement organization and community
integrity; how changes in social relations are reflected in the
development of the built environment; how cooperation and
competition as well as measures to mitigate social and
communication stress can be identified in the archaeological
record; and how the built environment was used to express or
manipulate identity.
