Description

In the context of commodification, material culture has particular properties hitherto considered irrelevant or neglected.

First, the market is a spatial structure, assigning special properties to the things offered: the goods and commodities.

Secondly, the market defines a principle of dealing with things, including them in some contexts, excluding them from others.

The contributions to Market as Place and Space address a variety of aspects of markets within the framework of archaeological and anthropological case studies and with a special focus on the indicators of practices attached to the commodities and their valuation.
