| Sammanfattning: | Wide-ranging contact networks ensure the dissemination and transfer of knowledge and goods as well as cultural values. The transport of loads and people can be seen as one of the most important cornerstones of such exchange systems. Therefore, the search for means of transportation and the development of suitable vehicles have probably been firmly anchored in human thought since time immemorial. The contributions presented here are based on the papers presented at the conference "Transports, Transport Routes and Transport Structures" of the Bronze Age Working Group and the Collaborative Research Center 1070 Resource Cultures. They not only summarize existing evidence on transport routes and vehicles as well as statements on infrastructure in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age, but also add numerous aspects worth knowing. What can these findings tell us about the transport vehicles and their significance? What characteristics did they have? Were the found objects worn out or deliberately destroyed vehicles or parts of such vehicles? Which implications on the technological and social level can be connected with the findings? How should we imagine the Bronze Age infrastructure in different regions? To what extent did traffic routes and exchange form a resource? This volume is dedicated to answering these questions in detail, resulting in an overarching synopsis of finds, features, and theories. |
