Cukurici Hoyuk 4
Household Economics in the Early Bronze Age Aegean
by Sabina Cvecek
“Cukurici Hoyuk 4. Household Economics in the Early Bronze Age Aegean” is a pioneering interdisciplinary account of households and socio-political organization in Aegean prehistory, written by a socio-cultural anthropologist embedded in a team of prehistoric archaeologists. Sabina Cvecek applies methods of historical anthropology to address key issues in discussing households and socio-political organization at the dawn of the Bronze Age Aegean and beyond. By navigating through the “dwelling perspective” of the people at two prehistoric mound sites, namely Cukurici Hoyuk in western Anatolia (Turkey) and Platia Magoula Zarkou in Thessaly (Greece), Cvecek scrutinizes the conflicting relations between metanarratives and site-based archaeological contexts, complemented by historical ethnographic accounts. This unique interdisciplinary contribution will appeal not only to specialists in Aegean prehistory and historical anthropologists, but also to scholars in the social sciences and humanities. It may inspire students to recognize the unparalleled value of archaeological materiality in addressing non-state imaginary communities, alongside historical, ethnographic, and other written sources.
