Dynamics and Developments of Social Structures and Networks in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus

This book discusses and defines how specific types of material datasets and assemblages, such as architecture, artefacts and ecofacts, and their contextualisation can form the basis of interpretative models of social structures and networks in ancient Cyprus. Explores this through four main themes: approaches to social dynamics; social and economic networks and connectivity; adaptability and agency; and social dynamics and inequality. Discusses the variety and transition of social structures on the island, from the local and relatively short-term to island-wide and eastern Mediterranean-wide and the longue durée. is intended for researchers and students of the archaeology and history of ancient Cyprus, the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.
