T L Thurston Editor

T. L. Thurston is Professor of Anthropology at SUNY Buffalo. His main interest lies in the interface between people, places, and governance in late prehistoric and historical Europe, often in comparison with other regions, cultures, and times. He finds that questions linking large-scale sociopolitical conditions with the life-course experiences of individuals and groups are best addressed with mixed research methods that unify quantitative and qualitative approaches. Manuel Fernández-Götz is Reader and Head of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. He has published widely on Iron Age and Roman societies in Europe, the archaeology of identities, and conflict archaeology. Among his main publications are the edited volumes Eurasia at the Dawn of History: Urbanization and Social Change (2016) and Conflict Archaeology: Materialities of Collective Violence from Prehistory to Late Antiquity (2018).
