Book Description:

This volume uses the concepts of centre and periphery, especially as formulated by Wallerstein to explain the rise of European capitalist world systems, and applies them to archaeology. The studies in this volume consider how these concepts can be adapted to illuminate our understanding of pre-capitalist societies and long term social transformations.
