Fragmentation in archaeology : people, places, and broken objects in the prehistory of south eastern Europe

"Fragmentation in Archaeology draws on detailed evidence from the Balkans to place the significance of fragmentation within a broad anthropological context, which links people to objects in production, exchange and consumption through the processes of enchainment and accumulation. This new dynamic is used to explain such diverse phenomena as the Iron Gates Mesolithic, mass sherd deposition in pits, the use of anthropomorphic figurines, and the wealth of artefacts found in the Varna cemetery."--Jacket
