ABSTRACT
Some recent interpretations of later Mediterranean prehistory have prioritized the roles of cultural practices in the maintenance and change of social relations in time and space. There is talk of social identities, the importance of social memory, and the experience of landscapes in the daily lives of people (e.g., Van Dommelen and Knapp 2010). Time and space are seen less as archaeological frameworks than means by which people construct social relations and understand culturally the world in which they live and how they came to be where they are. These cultural practices are argued to have occurred at different scales, from days to centuries and from the household to the Mediterranean basin as a whole.
