Global Materialities: Tracing Connections through Materiality of Daily Life

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2023

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Global Materialities: Tracing Connections through Materiality of Daily Life," at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

This session celebrates the connectivity that infuses daily life by examining global relationships at individual, community, and regional spheres. Presenters will discuss the material footprints of peoples’ local, regional, and global engagements evidenced in documentary, oral historical, ethnographic, and archaeological records. In particular, the case studies will highlight not only geographical linkages between places and peoples, but also the chronological connections that link the past to the present.
