Anthony Harding (emeritus University of Exeter) provides a very in-depth, detailed overview of life in the Bronze Age (2500-800 bce), in Europe, based on archaeological finds. It does not follow a chronological, but a thematic division (housing, clothing, agriculture, warfare, religion, etc.), which allows it to be relatively complete, but which means that evolutions within that period of 1700 years are somewhat less clear. Harding discusses methodological aspects at the beginning of each chapter, which is certainly commendable, but which makes this book less suitable for a general audience. Also striking: the author swears by a materialistic approach. This means that he rejects ethnographic reference material (largely rightly), and hardly uses theoretical models from the social sciences (largely wrongly).

Appartiene alle Serie
The Bronze Age, roughly 2500 to 750 BC, was the last fully prehistoric period in Europe and a crucial element in the formation of the Europe that emerged into history in the later first millennium BC. This book focuses on the material culture remains of the period, and through them provides an interpretation of the main trends in human development that occurred during this timespan. It pays particular attention to the discoveries and theoretical advances of the last twenty years that have necessitated a major revision of received opinions about many aspects of the Bronze Age. Arranged thematically, it reviews the evidence for a range of topics in cross-cultural fashion, defining which major characteristics of the period were universal and which culture and area-specific. The result is a comprehensive study that will be of value to specialists and students, while remaining accessible to the non-specialist. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
