| Sumario: |
Though distant in space and time, there are certain similarities between the processes of Warification and Minoanisation, the latter describing the uptake of Cretan (Minoan) materials and technologies across the Bronze Age southern Aegean. In both cases, recent scholarship challenges the assumption of an active core and passive periphery. Crucial to this challenge in the Minoan case is the recognition of the considerable variability concealed within the single term ‘Minoanisation’, with many regional and temporal differences in the degree of influence. In the Wari case, it appears that more work is needed to establish exactly if and how Warification was a complex, multi-stranded set of processes rather than a single, monolithic radiating influence. I argue that in both cases, regardless of the state of the evidence, we badly need new ways of tackling regional interaction and cultural transmission, and suggest that networks, learning, and communities of practice represent promising ways forward. |
