"Creativity is an integral part of human history, yet most studies focus on the modern
era, leaving unresolved questions about the formative role that creativity has played
in the past. This book explores the fundamental nature of creativity in the European
Bronze Age. Considering developments in crafts that we take for granted today, such
as pottery, textiles, and metalwork, the volume compares and contrasts various aspects
of their development, from the construction of the materials themselves, through the
production processes, to the design and effects deployed in finished objects. It explores
how creativity is closely related to changes in material culture, how it directs responses
to the new and unfamiliar, and how it has resulted in changes to familiar things and
practices. Written by an international team of scholars, the case studies in this
volume consider wider issues and provide detailed insights into creative solutions
found in specific objects"--Publisher's description
