The Provenance, Use, and Circulation of Metals in the European Bronze Age: The State of Debate
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 27 - Trang 131-185 - 2018
Bronze is the defining metal of the European Bronze Age and has been at the
center of archaeological and science-based research for well over a century.
Archaeometallurgical studies have largely focused on determining the geological
origin of the constituent metals, copper and tin, and their movement from
producer to consumer sites. More recently, the effects of recycling, both
temporal and spatia...
Ethnicity in complex societies: Archaeological perspectives
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 5 - Trang 295-344 - 1997
It is often difficult to identify ethnic groups in the archaeological record,

perspectives on ethnic groups and their boundaries, emphasizing the role of
state formation in their creation and maintenance. It then reviews recent

Recent Advances in Mixtec Archaeology
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 21 - Trang 75-121 - 2012
Current research in the Mixteca region of Mexico has revealed that Formative
communities were as populous as in other Mesoamerican regions. Evidence of
emerging social complexity is associated with the use of and access to luxury
items of foreign style and/or manufacture. Research efforts draw from indigenous
models to interpret data and investigate urbanism. Regional and environmental
approaches,...
Landscape and Environment: Insights from the Prehispanic Central Andes
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 18 - Trang 241-288 - 2010
Attention to human–environment relationships in the central Andes has a long
history. Although the area is not a neat microcosm of the globe, wholly
representative of worldwide trends in the archaeology of human–environment
interactions, it has been the site of both seminal investigations in archaeology
and a substantial body of recent work that investigates themes of broad
archaeological relevanc...
Fortifications and Enclosures in European Prehistory: A Cross-Cultural Perspective
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 15 - Trang 97-141 - 2007
This article reviews recent research into the archaeological interpretation and
investigation of fortifications and enclosures during the Neolithic and Bronze
Age in Europe. Recent methodological, technological, and cultural developments
have expanded our understanding of the temporal, spatial, and formal variability
of these features on the landscape. Interpretations of this variability also
have...
The Archaeology of Trading Systems, Part 1: Towards a New Trade Synthesis
Journal of Archaeological Research - Tập 16 - Trang 339-395 - 2008
After almost three centuries of investigations into the question of what it
means to be human and the historical processes of becoming human, archaeologists
have amassed a huge volume of data on prehistoric human interactions. One of the
largest data sets available is on the global distribution and exchange of
materials and commodities. What still remains insufficiently understood is the
precise n...
Long-Term Urban and Population Trends in the Southern Mesopotamian Floodplains
Journal of Archaeological Research - - Trang 1-42 - 2024
The processes of long-term urbanization in southern Mesopotamia are still
insufficiently investigated, even though recent studies using large datasets and
focusing on neighboring regions have paved the way to understanding the critical
role of multiple variables in the shaping of settlement strategies by ancient
human societies, among which climate change played an important role. In this
paper, w...
