"This book is a copublication of The Cotsen Institute of Archaeology and The Field Museum"--Copyright page
"The exhibition brings together some of the most compelling archaeological finds from the Neolithic, Copper Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age to tell the story of the emergence of leadership, inequality, and hierarchy within the prehistoric farming communities of southeastern Europe. The exhibition investigates how power was acquired, legitimized, maintained, and renewed by means of technology, trade and exchange, conflicts and warfare, as well as through rituals and ceremonies. Beginning October 22, 2021, over nearly a two-year period, the exhibition will be hosted at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, and at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec"--page iii.
