Economic archaeology and ancient economic history have boomed the
past decades. The former thanks to greatly enhanced techniques to
identify, collect, and interpret material remains as proxies for
economic interactions and performance; the latter by embracing the
frameworks of new institutional economics. Both disciplines,
however, still have great difficulty talking with each other. There
is no reliable method to convert ancient proxy-data into the
economic indicators used in economic history. In turn, the shared
cultural belief-systems underlying institutions and the symbolic
ways in which these are reproduced remain invisible in the material
record. This book explores ways to bring both disciplines closer
together by building a theoretical and methodological framework to
evaluate and integrate archaeological proxy-data in economic
history research. Rather than the linear interpretations offered by
neoclassical or neomalthusian models, we argue that complexity
economics, based on system theory, offers a promising way forward.
