This book explores the complex relationship between production, trade,
and connectivity in pre-Roman Italy, confronting established ideas
about the connections between people, objects, and ideas, and
highlighting how social change and community formation are rooted in
individual interactions. The volume engages with, and builds upon,
recent paradigm shifts in the archaeology and history of the ancient
Mediterranean which have centred the social and economic processes
that produce communities. It utilises a series of case studies,
encompassing the production, trade, and movement of objects and
people, to explore new models for how production is organised and the
recursive relationship which exists between the cultural and economic
spheres of human society. The contributions address issues of agency
and production at multiple scales of analysis, from larger theoretical
discussions of trade and identity across different regions to
context-specific explorations of production techniques and the
distribution of material culture across the Italian peninsula.
Production, Trade, and Connectivity in Pre-Roman Italy is intended for
students and scholars interested in the archaeology and history of
pre-Roman and early Republican Italy, but especially production,
trade, community formation, and identity. Those interested in issues
of cultural interaction and material change in the ancient
Mediterranean world will find useful comparative examples and
methodological approaches throughout. The Open Access version of this
