Identity and Power: The Transformation of Iron Age Societies in Northeast Gaul (Amsterdam Archaeological Studies) - Hardcover
This volume explores the transformation of Iron Age communities in northeast Gaul, and in particular the Middle Rhine-Moselle region, giving special consideration to questions of social identity. Some of the main issues addressed are the multidimensional levels of sociopolitical organization, the cycles of centralization and decentralization, the origins of the La Tčne culture, the emergence of the oppida, and the role of sanctuaries in the construction of collective identities. By combining an up-to-date summary of the different types of social identity with a considerable body of archaeological data, historical references and anthropological insights, this work represents a valuable contribution to our knowledge of Iron Age societies and, at a more general level, for all those interested in the study of past identities.

About the Author:
Dr Manuel Fernández-Götz is Chancellor’s Fellow at the School of History, Classics and Archaeology of the University of Edinburgh. He has co-ordinated the Heuneburg-Project (2011-13) and authored some eighty publications on Iron Age societies and the archaeology of identities.
Review:
“This overview is destined to become both a key source for the comprehension of the regional record and, perhaps more importantly, a vade mecum for further consideration, both theoretical and practical, of Fernández-Götz's central topics within temperate European Iron Age studies.” (Ian Ralston University of Edinburgh)
“Fernández-Götz’s book unifies in an exemplary way written and archaeological sources and adds new explanatory depth to the emergence of ethnicity and migration. Identity and Power shows the strength of a theoretically informed interdisciplinary approach in archaeology. As such, it is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of the Hallstatt and La Tčne periods in Europe.” (Kristian Kristiansen University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
