One of the most exciting recent developments in archaeology and
history has been the adoption of new perspectives which see human
societies in the past-as in the present-as made up of networks of
interlinked individuals. This view of people as always connected
through physical and conceptual networks along which resources,
information, and disease flow, requires archaeologists and
historians to use new methods to understand how these networks
form, function, and change over time. The Connected Past provides a
constructive methodological and theoretical critique of the growth
in research applying network perspectives in archaeology and
history, and considers the unique challenges presented by datasets
in these disciplines, including the fragmentary and material nature
of such data and the functioning and change of social processes
over long timespans. An international and multidisciplinary range
of scholars debate both the rationale and practicalities of
applying network methodologies, addressing the merits and drawbacks
of specific techniques of analysis for a range of datasets and
research questions, and demonstrating their approaches with
concrete case studies and detailed illustrations. As well as
revealing the valuable contributions archaeologists and historians
can make to network science, the volume represents a crucial step
towards the development of best practice in the field, especially
in exploring the interactions between social and material elements
of networks, and long-term network evolution.
