This volume focuses on the anthropological concept of trade as a
fundamentally social activity concerned not only with the movement
of goods, but also on the social context and consequences of that
exchange. The distinguished contributors discuss trade on a range
of scales--from a solitary confinement cell to trans-oceanic
networks--in settings around the world and over the past 3000
years. They address themes such as exchange as a communicative act,
the ways in which exchange transforms the relationship between
people and things, the significance of agency and power in contexts
of trade, and how sites of consumption and discard speak to
processes of exchange. The volume merges traditional archaeological
concerns about trade and exchange with more contemporary issues of
agency, identity and social meaning.
