This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "The Archaeology of Trade and Exchange" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The trade and exchange of resources between people throughout the world has been the building block for crucial human relationships. The reciprocity in these interactions has allowed humans to survive and thrive. This session will focus on the many different ways humans have managed these relationships throughout history and the archaeological signature these activities leave behind. This cross-cultural, comparative session will highlight cases from around the globe to demonstrate the breadth and variety of exchange interactions, to promote new ways of thinking about the archaeological impact of such endeavors.
