This book aims to understand the process of the Bronze Age
societies of Northern Europe which are often regarded as the
periphery and a bleak contrast to the Central European Bronze Age.
The Bronze Age is the first "globalised" period with new types of
societies and new modes of exchange and trade. In this context
there is considerable local variation and diversity within the
Bronze Age societies of Northern Europe which is poorly understood,
although there have been advances and changes in this research.
Therefore this book challenges some of the mainstream opinions on
the Bronze Age of Northern Europe, and focus on local and regional
aspects. This is done by a series of articles from significant
contributors that deal with these issues on theoretical and
empirical levels, with regards to differences, cultural dualism,
boundaries, regions and regionality in a period of increased
"globalisation". The result is a movement away from local and
regional aspects toward communications, travels and contacts
between northern Europe and the greater world, not only towards
Central Europe and the Near East but also towards the east.
Northern/Arctic Europe is often left out in these discussions, and
this book will contribute to this greater picture of the Bronze Age
world.
