Bronze Age Worlds brings a new way of thinking about kinship to the
task of explaining the formation of social life in Bronze Age
Britain and Ireland. Britain and Ireland's diverse landscapes and
societies experienced varied and profound transformations during
the twenty-fifth to eighth centuries BC. People's lives were shaped
by migrations, changing beliefs about death, making and thinking
with metals, and living in houses and field systems. This book
offers accounts of how these processes emerged from social life,
from events, places and landscapes, informed by a novel theory of
kinship. Kinship was a rich and inventive sphere of culture that
incorporated biological relations but was not determined by them.
Kinship formed personhood and collective belonging, and associated
people with nonhuman beings, things and places. The differences in
kinship and kinwork across Ireland and Britain brought textures to
social life and the formation of Bronze Age worlds. Bronze Age
Worlds offers new perspectives to archaeologists and
anthropologists interested in the place of kinship in Bronze Age
societies and cultural development.
