Bronze Age Worlds by Robert Johnston

Bronze Age Worlds by Robert Johnston

Bronze Age Worlds brings a new way of thinking about kinship to the task of explaining the formation of social life in the Bronze Age Britain and Ireland.

"With this book Robert Johnston has done a great service to researchers and students of the era, which he defines as spanning 2500 to 700bc.. The book can expect a long shelf life." - Mike Pitts, British Archaeology

"The descriptive and evocative text in this book is outstanding and a real strength that sets it apart. ... This is elegant archaeological writing that takes us beyond site reports and summaries and clearly presents the author’s vision of the period and life in it. ... The book is readable, accessible and detailed. Not only should it be on the shelf of every scholar of the Bronze Age, but also of archaeologists more widely." - Rachel Crellin, Antiquity

"The book represents the best of what European Bronze Age studies can be" - Steven Matthews, Prehistoric Society

"The book contains an impressive amount of data, a wealth of carefully described examples, and compilation of research discourses unparalleled for this region. Johnston thus creates a complete picture of Bronze Age research in Britain and Ireland, which he eloquently ties together with his emphasis on the significance of kinship and journeys. ... The publication is thus highly recommended to anyone with an interest in learning more about the Bronze Age." Stefanie Schaefer-di Maida, Norwegian Archaeological Review

"Johnston decisively confirms kinship as a relevant frame of reference for archaeo logical interpretation. For this reason, this book provides profound insights into the ways in which we can (and should) consider many aspects of the material record." Matthew Walsh, American Antiquity
