With a strong emphasis on data, the two volumes of this book demonstrate that mobility was essential to the European Bronze Age by exploring the shared cultural expression of Bronze Age societies in contrast to their simultaneous development of new local and regional characteristics. During this seminal epoque, cultural and social formations of an entirely new kind and magnitude came to characterize Europe. The intense and dynamic relations between local and large-scale change processes coincided with increased mobility in different domains and forms, forging new identities and shaping the emergence of Europe as a distinct cultural zone. Through over fifty essays by leading Bronze Age scholars, the reader engages with cultural mobility and connectivity and the ways in which these forces affected and transformed human behaviour. The two volume set includes four parts; this volume contains parts 3 (Modes and Channels of Movement and Transmission) and 4 (Geo-political Configurations, Boundaries and Transformations).

'Det er imidlertid en klar styrke, at rigtig mange af artiklerne
både har et stærkt og grundigt analyse-og datagrundlag-herunder
mange naturvidenskabelige analyser samt et solidt teoretisk
fundament. Det samspil er afgørende for at komme videre med
nuancerede diskussioner om bronzealderens samfund-både forstået i
en lokal landskabsmæssig forankring og som del af et større
udvekslings- og kontaktnetværk.' Lise Frost, Jutland Archaeological
Society journal Kuml 2017
English translation: 'However, a clear strength is the fact that
many of the articles include both well-structured data and rigorous
and thorough analyses thereof. Moreover, these are supported by
solid theoretical frameworks. The essential thing is that it helps
to advance the state of research regarding Bronze Age society both
in terms of local landscape as well as within the larger scale of
development and contact networks.' Lise Frost, Jutland
