This book explores the experience of labour for ancient Greek farming communities using historical, archaeological, bioarchaeological, and ethnographic data. It offers a compelling and methodologically innovative approach using the moral economy, taskscapes, and embodiment as interpretative frames.Reconstructing the lived experience of ancient farmers, the book defines the physical, conceptual, and ideological contours of the farmer's world. It highlights the complex, embedded, and entangled nature of Greek agrarian life and draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary evidence to create a cultural history of rural labour. By moving beyond economic abstractions, the study reframes agricultural labour as a meaningful social and bodily practice, central to identity, community and survival.The book will be of particular interest to researchers and students of ancient history, archaeology, gender studies, and rural studies. It also appeals to readers interested in labour, embodiment, the mor

This book explores routes of interaction and exchange in the Southern Maya Area, a zone that had both short and long-distance trade and whose natural resources were exploited by merchants and rulers, colonists and entrepreneurs during Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Aztec, colonial and modern times. The book presents the research of both archaeologists and art historians to identify routes of interconnection, to demonstrate the strategic importance of settlements and ritual locations, and assess the significance of modes and mediums of exchange. The contributors employ innovative approaches, making use of state-of-the art technologies to reproduce and analyze the archaeological landscape (e.g. LiDAR, GIS, and Least Cost Path Analysis) and to source and characterize archaeological materials (e.g. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), X-Ray Fluorescence analysis [XRF] and Strontium analysis). The book combines these innovative approaches with earlier data sources and past analyses to develop a ne
