This book presents new research into social networks and the various networking modes that formed during the history of archaeology in distinct geographical settings in Europe, North America, and South Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The diverse range of international experts in this edited collection demonstrate that networks can be found everywhere in archaeology, making it a highly interconnected research field.Using a wide array of examples from diverse geopolitical, cultural, and social contexts, the volume reveals how essential social networks and networking have been to the development of archaeology; to the production, transfer, exchange, and dissemination of archaeological and cross-disciplinary knowledge; and to the formation, upward mobility, barrier transcendence, research, and association of archaeological practitioners. The book is of interest to students and scholars of history of archaeology, history of science, museum studies and interdisciplinary studies.
