{"product_id":"balkan-dialogues-maja-gori-9781138941137","title":"Balkan Dialogues: Negotiating Identity Between Prehistory and the Present","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpatial variation and patterning in the distribution of artefacts are topics of fundamental significance in Balkan archaeology. For decades, archaeologists have classified spatial clusters of artefacts into discrete \"cultures\", which have been conventionally treated as bound entities and equated with past social or ethnic groups. This timely volume fulfils the need for an up-to-date and theoretically informed dialogue on group identity in Balkan prehistory. Thirteen case studies covering the beginning of the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age and written by archaeologists conducting fieldwork in the region, as well as by ethnologists with a research focus on material culture and identity, provide a robust foundation for exploring these issues. Bringing together the latest research, with a particular intentional focus on the central and western Balkans, this collection offers original perspectives on Balkan prehistory with relevance to the neighbouring regions of Eastern and Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Anatolia. \u003cem\u003eBalkan Dialogues\u003c\/em\u003e challenges long-established interpretations in the field and provides a new, contextualised reading of the archaeological record of this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maja Gori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138941131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138941137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Maja Gori","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659267748095,"sku":"9781138941137","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/balkan-dialogues-maja-gori-9781138941137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
