Long before the advent of the global economy, foreign goods were
transported, traded, and exchanged through myriad means, over short
and long distances. Archaeological tools for identifying foreign
objects, such as provenance studies, stylistic analyses, and
economic documentary sources reveal non-local materials in historic
and prehistoric assemblages. Trade and exchange represent more than
mere production and consumption. Exchange of goods also led to an
exchange of cultural and social experiences. Discoveries of the
sources of alien objects surpass archaeological expectations of
exchange and geographic distance, revealing important technological
advances. With thirteen case studies from around the world, this
comprehensive work provides a fresh perspective on material culture
studies. Evidence of ongoing negotiation between individuals,
villages, and nations provides insight into the impact of trade on
the micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Covering a wide array of time
periods and areas, this work will be of interest to archaeologists,
anthropologists, and anyone working in cultural studies.
