"This volume presents new scholarship on the value and valuing of craft production
in ancient societies around the Mediterranean. Ancient economic history, especially
when approached archaeologically, has typically - and with good reason - focused upon
the objects that were produced by craftspeople, their form and style, and their distribution.
Typological approaches necessary for sorting and analysing large bodies of material
evidence have also prioritized the final form of artefacts. Yet it was first and foremost
the craftspeople behind these items who were responsible for an item's functionality,
its purpose, and its value, and these roles have in recent years received fresh attention
in anthropological and sociological studies. The contributions gathered in this volume
revolve around the role of makers, their handling of materials, and their place in
networks of production and consumption, whilst at the same time remembering that craftspeople
were never lone forces but depended on wider networks of supplies, colleagues, and
consumers, as well as more ephemeral considerations such as aesthetics and religious
value. Through this approach, the volume sheds new light not only on a range of crafts
and materials from the ancient world, but also on the value of making and the making
of value in ancient Mediterranean societies"--Page [4] of cover
