This book adopts an integrative approach to investigate the role of
monumental architecture in shaping social dynamics and power
relations on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age (LBA;
c.1700-1050 BCE). Using such an approach, archaeologists studying
ancient societies elsewhere can analyze the relationship between
the built environment and human behaviour. Monumental buildings on
Late Bronze Age Cyprus provided contexts for social interactions,
such as ceremonial feasting and cultic rituals, that created social
bonds and forged wider community identities, while also
materializing social boundaries and inequalities. More than just
spaces, these contexts were socially-constructed places, imbued
with identity and memory, that played an integral role in social
organization during this transformative period. This integrative
approach emphasizes the role of buildings in configuring movement
and encounter and in serving as the contexts for interactions
through which sociopolitical relations are developed, maintained,
transformed and reproduced. It investigates this using an
interdisciplinary methodology that integrates access analysis with
the study of the materiality of built environments and how they
encode and communicate meanings and shape the experiences of those
who interact with them.
