Formation, Organisation and Development of Iron Age Societies. A Comparative View

The papers that have been assembled in this volume, which arose from a workshop held at the 10th ICAANE in Vienna in 2016, represent case studies that investigate processes related to the formation, organisation and further development of societies that emerged after the collapse of the large territorial states of the Late Bronze Age by re-evaluating established opinions in the light of more recent discoveries and studies. The contributions cover a wide regional, thematic and methodological scope and highlight the great range of cultural aspects affected by the formation and development of Iron Age societies.
