Description

Archaeological research has traditionally focused on the centers of societies rather than their perimeters. However, frontiers and borders have long promoted interaction between people of different cultures, with significant outcomes. This book addresses this imbalance by examining over 30 years of research on boundaries, borders, and frontiers. Drawing on a range of sources, including contemporary accounts, historical data, and archaeological evidence, the author explores various theoretical and methodological issues related to peripheries in the archaeological record. The study delves into the complex processes that occur in border and frontier zones, including political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics. Three case studies - China, Rome, and Mycenaean Greece - are examined in detail. By shedding light on these often-overlooked areas, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the significance of frontiers and borders in shaping human societies.
