Gordon Childe, the study of the emergence of complex societies has been a central question in anthropological archaeology. However, archaeologists working in the Americanist tradition have drawn most of their models for the emergence of social complexity from research in the Middle East and Latin America. Bernard Wailes was a strong advocate for the importance of later prehistoric and early medieval Europe as an alternative model of sociopolitical evolution and trained generations of American archaeologists now active in European research from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages. Two centuries of excavation and research in Europe have produced one of the richest bodies of archaeological data anywhere in the world. The abundant data show that technological innovations such as metallurgy appeared very early, but urbanism and state formation are comparatively late developments. Key transformative process such as the spread of agriculture did not happen uniformly but rather at different rates in different regions. The essays in this volume celebrate the legacy of Bernard Wailes by highlighting the contribution of the European archaeological record to our understanding of the emergence of social complexity. They provide case studies in how ancient Europe can inform anthropological archaeology. Not only do they illuminate key research topics, they also invite archaeologists working in other parts of the world to consider comparisons to ancient Europe as they construct models for cultural development for their regions. 650 0 $a Prehistoric peoples $z Europe. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109926 650 0 $a Antiquities, Prehistoric $z Europe. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101167 650 0 $a Anthropology, Prehistoric $z Europe. 650 0 $a Social archaeology $z Europe. 650 0 $a Ethnoarchaeology $z Europe. 650 7 $a Anthropology, Prehistoric. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810250 650 7 $a Antiquities, Prehistoric. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810762 650 7 $a Ethnoarchaeology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916070 650 7 $a Prehistoric peoples. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075242 650 7 $a Social archaeology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122274 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 700 1 $a Crabtree, Pam J., $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n91080919 700 1 $a Bogucki, Peter I., $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86810460 700 1 $a Wailes, Bernard, $e honouree. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96058089 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217032040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC9969C8EB9D11E7A465B32097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
