<b>With a lifetime’s work on prehistoric economies, Ken Hirth published a synthetic book The Organization of Ancient Economies (CUP, 2020). Impressed by the creativity and comprehensiveness of his synthesis, I proposed a collaboration with him on a working group with knowledge of particular cases across time and the world. With funding from Wenner-Gren, and after two COVID delays, our group of 11 met for a week at the Amerind Foundation to compare ‘our’ economies according to eight themes. My presentation now describes the working group, Ken's guiding role, and the results being published as Premodern Economies: A Global Perspective.</b>
