Bakels C.C., Bourgeois Q.P.J., Fontijn D.R., Jansen R. (Eds.). Local communities in the Big World of prehistoric Northwest Europe

Sidestone Press, 2018. — 160 p. — (Analecta Praehistorica Leidensia 49).This volume of Analecta Praehistorica Leidensia focuses on how local communities in prehistory define themselves in relation to a bigger social world.
Communities from the deep past managed to make a living in landscapes we tend to perceive as inconvenient, build complex and elaborate monuments with relatively simple tools, and by shaping their landscape carved out a place for themselves in a much bigger social world. The contributions in this volume underscore how small worlds can be big at the same time.
