The Archaeology of Global History
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
Archaeological research is local almost by definition. But facing topics such as the emergent processes linked to global history we need to relate to a wider picture since material culture may stem from any part of the world. This session aims to bring together papers that explore the linkage between the local and the global, highlighting methodological issues that challenge our work and showing how the articulation of global trends with local dynamics took place. Thus, we introduce papers dealing with the circulation, distribution and introduction of people, artifacts, technologies, and plants and animals as well as those showing how a global framework helps us understand a single site.
