Papadopoulos Summary "Of Odysseys and Oddities is about scales and modes of interaction in prehistory, specifically between societies on both sides of the Aegean and with their nearest neighbours overland to the north and east. The 17 contributions reflect on tensions at the core of how we consider interaction in archaeology, particularly the motivations and mechanisms leading to social and material encounters or displacements. Linked to this are the ways we conceptualise spatial and social entities in past societies (scales) and how we learn about who was actively engaged in interaction and how and why they were (modes). The papers provide a broad chronological, spatial and material range but, taken together, they critically address many of the ways that scales and modes of interaction are considered in archaeological discourse. Ultimately, the intention is to foreground material culture analysis in the development of the arguments presented within this volume, informed, but not driven, by theoretical positions"--From publisher's website Notes Papers from the 2013 Sheffield Aegean Round Table Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on print version record Subject Prehistoric peoples -- Aegean Sea Region -- Congresses Social interaction -- Aegean Sea Region -- History -- To 1500 -- Congresses Intercultural communication -- Aegean Sea Region -- History -- To 1500 -- Congresses Spatial behavior -- Social aspects -- Aegean Sea Region -- History -- To 1500 -- Congresses Material culture -- Aegean Sea Region -- History -- To 1500 -- Congresses Neolithic period -- Aegean Sea Region -- Congresses Excavations (Archaeology) -- Aegean Sea Region -- Congresses Social archaeology -- Aegean Sea Region -- Congresses Antiquities Excavations (Archaeology) Intercultural communication International relations Material culture Neolithic period Prehistoric peoples Social archaeology Social interaction SUBJECT Aegean Sea Region -- Antiquities -- Congresses Aegean Sea Region -- Relations -- Congresses Subject Europe -- Aegean Sea Region Genre/Form Conference papers and proceedings History Form Electronic book Author Molloy, Barry LC no. 2016008303 ISBN 9781785702327 1785702327 9781785702334 1785702335 9781785702341 1785702343
