The Bronze Age is the first \"globalised\" period with new types of societies and new modes of exchange and trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this context, there is considerable local variation and diversity within the Bronze Age societies of Northern Europe, which is poorly understood, although there have been advances and changes in this research. Therefore, \u003cem\u003eLocal Societies in Bronze Age Northern Europe\u003c\/em\u003e challenges some of the mainstream opinions on the Bronze Age of Northern Europe and focuses on local and regional aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is done by a series of articles from significant contributors that deal with these issues on theoretical and empirical levels, with regards to differences, cultural dualism, boundaries, regions and regionality in a period of increased \"globalisation\". The result is a movement away from local and regional aspects toward communications, travels and contacts between Northern Europe and the greater world, not only towards Central Europe and the Near East but also towards the east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNorthern\/Arctic Europe is often left out of these discussions, and \u003cem\u003eLocal Societies in Bronze Age Northern Europe\u003c\/em\u003e will contribute to this greater picture of the Bronze Age world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606465429740,"sku":"9781138117150","price":111.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/45e61255d811be343738e6a514d03e7e.jpg?v=1778192026"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/melanie-wrigglesworth.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
