This edited volume investigates knowledge networks based on materials and associated technologies in Prehistoric Europe and the Classical Mediterranean. It emphasises the significance of material objects to the construction, maintenance, and collapse of networks of various forms – which are central to explanations of cultural contact and change. Focusing on the materiality of objects and on the way in which materials are used adds a multidimensional quality to networks. The properties, functions, and styles of different materials are intrinsically linked to the way in which knowledge flows and technologies are transmitted. Transmission of technologies from one craft to another is one of the main drivers of innovation, whilst sharing knowledge is enabled and limited by the extent of associated social networks in place. Archaeological research has often been limited to studying objects made of one particular material in depth, be it lithic materials, ceramics, textiles, glass, metal, wood or others. The knowledge flow and transfer between crafts that deal with different materials have often been overlooked. This book takes a fresh approach to the reconstruction of knowledge networks by integrating two or more craft traditions in each of its chapters. The authors, well-known experts and early career researchers, provide concise case studies that cover a wide range of materials. The scope of the book extends from networks of craft traditions to implications for society in a wider sense: materials, objects, and the technologies used to make and distribute them are interwoven with social meaning. People make objects, but objects make people – the materiality of objects shapes our understanding of the world and our place within it. In this book, objects are treated as clues to social networks of different sorts that can be contrasted and compared, both spatially and diachronically.

It is apparent that since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, technologies have gone through many changes. All traditional methods of manufacturing goods and objects have been mechanized and become mass-produced. This has had a profound impact not only on American culture, but global culture and economies. As an artist who has discovered a passion for the process of making itself, and esteems the value of the handmade object, I have become increasingly aware that the handmade tradition is quickly being eliminated from our lives. Therefore, in my work I address these issues. I depict the impact of technology on tradition and consider the role of craft by combining digitally produced and manufactured cloth pieces with handmade elements. This is done using the tools and materials for the production of cloth as the subject matter of this body of work to discuss the loss of the tradition of the handmade in our culture.

Taking readers on a tour of the world’s craft traditions, this beautifully illustrated volume is an homage to committed craftsmanship. Every culture is rooted in an artisanal tradition that combines locally sourced materials, time-honored savoir faire, and a desire to adorn and embellish objects from daily life. Here, thirty-eight women and men—from the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, India, Italy, France, Mali, Mexico, and beyond—open their workshops to share their heritage, skill, and unique vision. Dana Goodwin and Dennis Williams from the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota hand-bead traditional Ojibwe clothing. Mexican textile artist Porfirio Gutiérrez selects yarn from a palette of some two hundred shades dyed naturally in colors that his sister extracts from local plants. Both honor and evolve the Zapotec traditions gleaned from their ancestors. London-based artist Anna Dickinson explores light and shadow through glass, by varying its transparency, opacity, color, reflection, thickness, and weight. Other artisans use natural and sometimes surprising materials, including banana fiber, seaweed, or household refuse, in this thoughtful contemplation on the important role of handicraft, of time, and of nature in our contemporary societies. Artisanal crafts—some nearly forgotten and lost forever—are having a renaissance thanks to a nascent consciousness for fair-trade practices, an urgent call to protect the planet, and a renewed respect for the quality and durability of handmade objects. This beautifully produced and richly illustrated tome pays homage to natural materials, the hands that shape them, and the ethos that guides their exceptional creators.
