History enk 2026 monographic eng remote 1 online resource "The Element examines various facets of craftwork in small-scale societies that thrived in much of Central Europe during the Bronze Age (2300 800 BCE). These societies exhibited distinct structures and types of social bonds that formed the social and spatial backdrop for craft practices. Since most Bronze Age villages were inhabited by small groups, all forms of crafting were at least partially communal, fostering the exchange of experiences, skills, and knowledge both within and across different production areas. The public nature of crafting practices also encouraged discussions about applied tools, methods, skills, and the quality of the final products. The author explores overarching questions about communication and knowledge transfer within and beyond small groups, drawing on archaeological and ethnographic data. This includes considerations of standardization, personalization, imitation, seasonality, and cross-crafting"-- Small-scale societies -- Bronze Age -- Specialized, standardized or customized? -- Two-track crafting -- Seasonality -- Imitations and shifting technologies -- Cross-crafting Justyna Baron Includes bibliographical references ec----- Bronze age Europe, Central Handicraft Europe, Central History To 1500 Material culture Europe, Central History To 1500 Europe, Central Antiquities Bronze age Handicraft Material culture Antiquities Central Europe To 1500 fast GN778.22.C4 936.01 Craftwork in small-scale societies of the Central European Bronze Age Baron, Justyna Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2026 (OCoLC)1581572570 Cambridge elements Elements in the archaeology of Europe 9781009611251 1009611259 9781009611275 9781009611299 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009611251 UKMGB 260223 20260713191415.3 in00005788342 eng
