Winner of the Jo Anne Stolaroff Cotsen Prize. The questions are central to archaeologists studying ancient civilizations: how to understand the value that might have been accorded to materials, objects, people, places, and patterns of action by those who produced or used them.

Winner of the Jo Anne Stolaroff Cotsen Prize, this volume publishes the excavation and analysis of the Early Iron Age cemetery at Torone in Chalkidike, in the north Aegean, Greece spanning the period between the twelfth or eleventh century to c. 850 BC.

The burial tumulus of Lofkend lies in one of the richest archaeological areas of Albania - home to a number of burial tumuli from later prehistory. The recovery of surviving plant remains, bones, and other organic material contribute insights into the environmental and ecological history of the region.

Topics include archaeology and text, the future of large-scale archaeological fieldwork at individual sites, interpretation and preservation of archaeological sites and landscapes, past trajectories and new approaches to regional survey, and debates surrounding landscape and settlement archaeology.
