ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE STUDY OF GLOBALIZATION IN THE PAST

Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

To be most useful, the study of globalization must be placed in a temporal context. Even a casual examination of the past reveals significant intercon-nections between societies. These exchanges took the form of trade, migra-tion, conquest, intermarriage, and other activities. Careful analysis reveals patterns in such interaction that can help us more clearly define globaliza-tion as a long-term process with a cyclical nature. Archaeology is critical for extending the study of globalization in this manner in both historic and prehistoric periods; it provides data on places and people not included in historical documents, and also permits examination of periods prior to the emergence of writing.
