The Case Study of the Spread of the Justinianic Plague and Black Death. 330 $aEconomic archaeology and ancient economic history have boomed the past decades. The former thanks to greatly enhanced techniques to identify, collect, and interpret material remains as proxies for economic interactions and performance; the latter by embracing the frameworks of new institutional economics. Both disciplines, however, still have great difficulty talking with each other. There is no reliable method to convert ancient proxy-data into the economic indicators used in economic history. In turn, the shared cultural belief-systems underlying institutions and the symbolic ways in which these are reproduced remain invisible in the material record. This book explores ways to bring both disciplines closer together by building a theoretical and methodological framework to evaluate and integrate archaeological proxy-data in economic history research. Rather than the linear interpretations offered by neoclassical or neomalthusian models, we argue that complexity economics, based on system theory, offers a promising way forward. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Ancient Economies,$x2752-3306 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aGame theory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aUrban Economics 606 $aGame Theory 606 $aHistory of Ancient Europe 606 $aArchaeology 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aGame theory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$xTo 476. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aGame Theory. 615 24$aHistory of Ancient Europe. 615 24$aArchaeology. 676 $a330.9 676 $a330.0901 702 $aVerboven$b Koenraad 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482969303321 996 $aComplexity economics$92846255 997 $aUNINA
