New Approaches to the Archaeology of Beekeeping aims to take a
holistic view of beekeeping archaeology (including honey, wax, and
associated products, hive construction, and participants in this
trade) in one large interconnected geographic region, the
Mediterranean, central Europe, and the Atlantic Facade. Current
interest in beekeeping is growing because of the precipitous
decline of bees worldwide and the disastrous effect it portends for
global agriculture. As a result, all aspects of beekeeping in all
historical periods are coming under closer scrutiny. The volume
focuses on novel approaches to historical beekeeping but also
offers new applications of more established ways of treating
apicultural material from the past. It is also keenly interested in
helping readers navigate the challenges inherent in studying
beekeeping historically. The volume brings together scholars
working on ancient, medieval, early modern, and ethnographic
evidence of beekeeping from a variety of perspectives. In this
sense it will serve as a handbook for current researchers in this
field and for those who wish to undertake research into the
archaeology of beekeeping.
