Creativity is an integral part of human history, yet most studies
focus on the modern era, leaving unresolved questions about the
formative role that creativity has played in the past. This book
explores the fundamental nature of creativity in the European
Bronze Age. Considering developments in crafts that we take for
granted today, such as pottery, textiles, and metalwork, the volume
compares and contrasts various aspects of their development, from
the construction of the materials themselves, through the
production processes, to the design and effects deployed in
finished objects. It explores how creativity is closely related to
changes in material culture, how it directs responses to the new
and unfamiliar, and how it has resulted in changes to familiar
things and practices. Written by an international team of scholars,
the case studies in this volume consider wider issues and provide
detailed insights into creative solutions found in specific
objects.
