Description: This volume investigates how human action has shaped, and has been shaped by, cultural landscapes through agriculture, quarrying, construction, crafts, mobility, and trade, and how the changes can be understood by studying energy expenditure, production, resilience strategies, labor costs, and burial customs.

Review Quotes: "...must be acclaimed for its very existence. Each chapter presents an argument specific to its context, dominated by the Aegean, with a sprinkling of Mesoamerican, African, Oceanic, and continental European cases. In most chapters, there is a shared (explicit or implicit) interest in shed[1]ding more light on bottom-up/nonelite experiences in response to the long-established focus on top-down/elite experiences."--Leah McCurdy "Journal of Anthropological Research, Winter 2023"
