Space and Time in Mediterranean Prehistory addresses these two
concepts as interrelated, rather than as separate categories, and
as a means for understanding past social relations at different
scales. The need for this volume was realised through four main
observations: the ever growing interest in space and spatiality
across the social sciences; the comparative theoretical and
methodological neglect of time and temporality; the lack in the
existing literature of an explicit and balanced focus on both space
and time; and the large amount of new information coming from
prehistoric Mediterranean. It focuses on the active and interactive
role of space and time in the production of any social environment,
drawing equally on contemporary theory and on case-studies from
Mediterranean prehistory. Space and Time in Mediterranean
Prehistory seeks to break down the space-time continuum, often
assumed rather than inferred, into space-time units and to uncover
the varying and variable interrelations of space and time in
prehistoric societies across the Mediterranean. The volume is a
response to the dissatisfaction with traditional views of space and
time in prehistory and revisits these concepts to develop a timely
integrative conceptual and analytical framework for the study of
space and time in archaeology.
