The colonisation of an area most clearly brings into focus what kind of social fabric encompassed the actual historical processes. Recent perspectives on the social and cultural embeddedness of exchange, and how objects facilitate constructions of identities and political legitimacy, serve to frame and explicate the role of material culture in such processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributions to this volume shed light on various social aspects of movement, migration and colonisation among hunter-gatherers and Neolithic groups as well as in chiefdoms and state societies. Geographically, an area spanning from the Mediterranean to central Europe and the North Sea region, Greenland and Siberia is covered. Three social and historical processes - the social aspects of colonisation, cultural integration and maritime interaction - are particularly discussed as interrelated phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lene Melheim, H虧on Glstad, Zanette Tsigaridas Glstad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781790485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781790489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Lene Melheim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052578992383,"sku":"9781781790489","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59356d7e-640b-4fd3-b1a6-b086b9cf8a31.jpg?v=1685019614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comparative-perspectives-on-past-colonisation-hakon-glorstad-9781781790489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
