Organizing Bronze Age Societies: The Mediterranean, Central Europe, and Scandanavia Compared

by Timothy Earle (Editor), Kristian Kristiansen (Editor)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 7 ratings
See all formats and editions
The Bronze Age was a formative period in European history when the organization of landscapes, settlements, and economy reached a new level of complexity. This book presents the first in-depth, comparative study of household, economy, and settlement in three micro-regions: the Mediterranean (Sicily), Central Europe (Hungary), and Northern Europe (South Scandinavia). The results are based on ten years of fieldwork in a similar method of documentation, and scientific analyses were used in each of the regional studies, making controlled comparisons possible. The new evidence demonstrates how differences in settlement organization and household economies were counterbalanced by similarities in the organized use of the landscape in an economy dominated by the herding of large flocks of sheep and cattle. The eight chapters in this book provide a new, contextualized understanding of the social and economic complexity of the Bronze Age. Its innovative theoretical and methodological approaches will be of relevance to all researchers of landscape and settlement history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential synthesis of European later prehistory
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is one of the rare cases of a large scale archaeological synthesis that manages to pay attention to the micro scale. It is of course impossible to agree with every detail of the work, but it is comprehensive and compelling, and will give direction to research into the European Bronze Age and beyond for generations to come.
It is a must-read for students and professionals alike. Furthermore, the book is written in a way that it may be interesting for non-archeologists that wasn't too know about Europe's past.

I am an archaeologist who excavated in Sicily for three summer seasons with Northern Illinois University. I found this book incredibly usefull and well written. It is a compilation of some very different methodologies and techniques, and compares three totally different areas of the world in a highly productive manner. A must for people interested in the developing complexity in Bronze Age Europe.

good book, but its focus is to narrow to encompass the bronze age cultures in total.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important step toward understanding of the Nordic Bronze Age
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book is important and pioneering. It attempts to prove, from archaeological evidence, the strong connection between the Mediterranian and the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age. Although the conclusions drawn are not crystal clear, I consider this volme to be an important step toward an understanding of social life in the Bronze Age, especially in Northern Europe.
