Connecting Networks: Characterising Contact by Measuring Lithic Exchange in the European Neolithic
UCL Institute of Archaeology
London, 15 October 2011
Sourcing lithic raw materials allows the quantitative description of exchange networks. Over the last decades work has focused 1) on specific material of a known source, on materials
found 2) on a specific site or 3) in a given region. These approaches have turned out to be very fruitful.
But how to combine regional evidence for the exchange of stone raw materials into a wider picture more complete in space and time? To which extent does it reflect the development of exchange systems, affected by e.g. changing population densities, changes in contact, or economic cycles?
The EUROEVOL project seeks to relate the enormous amount of evidence gathered over the last decades to other trends in European Neolithic cultural evolution, searching for general patterns and explanations for them. The workshop on European lithic exchange networks will gather friends and colleagues already connected to the EUROEVOL Project and others who are interested in the creation of a data sharing network whose results would be available to its members.
There will be a one day session open to the public where the peer speakers present their work.
