The Dynamics of Power This volume focuses on social power and power relations based on gender,
kinship, class, and other social criteria within a multiscalar framework.
Contributions address theoretical and methodological issues of archaeological
approaches to power at the levels of household, community, and region,
or landscape, and consider how power relations interact between these
levels. The essays offer new insights into the relationships between power,
agency, and scale within diverse contexts that range from prehistoric
societies to early-twentieth-century coal mining towns. Contents: 2. Grasping Power: A Question of Relations and Scales 3. Taking Power Seriously 4. Radical Agency, Households, and Communities: Networks of Power 5. Women’s Work and Class Conflict in a Working-Class Coal-Mining
