- This volume tackles the big question of creativity. It asks what is creatively and how and why does it become expressed, using primary data from throughout the European Bronze Age. Uniquely the volume is based on research on three different materials (bronze, textile, ceramics), all conducted within a shared critical attention to creativity. Various nodal points in production sequences were identified, such as experimentation with material qualities or symbolic significance. Its sustained comparison between materials makes this a complex piece of research that produced detailed insights into the nature of and conditions for creative actions and outcomes.
