BRONZE AGE WORLDS
Bronze Age Worlds
brings a new way of thinking about kinship to the task of
explaining the formation of social life in Bronze Age Britain and Ireland.
Britain and Ireland’s diverse landscapes and societies experienced varied
and profound transformations during the twenty-fifth to eighth centuries BC.
People’s lives were shaped by migrations, changing beliefs about death, making
and thinking with metals, and living in houses and field systems. This book of-
fers accounts of how these processes emerged from social life, from events, places
and landscapes, informed by a novel theory of kinship. Kinship was a rich and
inventive sphere of culture that incorporated biological relations but was not
determined by them. Kinship formed personhood and collective belonging, and
associated people with nonhuman beings, things and places. The differences in
kinship and kinwork across Ireland and Britain brought textures to social life and
the formation of Bronze Age worlds.
Bronze Age Worlds
offers new perspectives to archaeologists and anthropol-
ogists interested in the place of kinship in Bronze Age societies and cultural
development.
