Description

Explore the puzzling social practices of the ancient world with Economies of Destruction. This scholarly work by Routledge examines why people deliberately destroyed valuable objects and materials during a transformative era in human history. By focusing on Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Europe (c. 2300-500 BC), the book investigates a period where destructive behavior reached unprecedented levels of complexity. As a metal-based economy began to shape the foundations of Europe, massive amounts of scarce and recyclable metal were systematically buried in the landscape. This text provides a deep look into how these acts of destruction actually helped create value within these early societies. It is an essential read for anyone interested in how the management of precious resources influenced the development of ancient civilizations and social structures.
