Trade before Civilization explores the role that long-distance
exchange played in the establishment and/or maintenance of social
complexity, and its role in the transformation of societies from
egalitarian to non-egalitarian. Bringing together research by an
international and methodologically diverse team of scholars, it
analyses the relationship between long-distance trade and the rise
of inequality. The volume illustrates how elites used exotic
prestige goods to enhance and maintain their elevated social
positions in society. Global in scope, it offers case studies of
early societies and sites in Europe, Asia, Oceania, North America,
and Mesoamerica. Deploying a range of inter-disciplinary and
cutting-edge theoretical approaches from a cross-cultural
framework, the volume offers new insights and enhances our
understanding of socio-political evolution. It will appeal to
archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, conflict theorists, and
ethnohistorians, as well as economists seeking to understand the
nexus between imported luxury items and cultural evolution.
