| Description: | The central aim of this volume is, precisely, to survey and discuss the prospects and challenges of applying cultural phylogenetics in archaeology. The invited chapters introduce the key concepts and uses of phylogenetic methods and illustrate how these can be employed by archaeologists to infer, develop and test hypotheses about the processes that originate and shape archaeological traditions, such as innovation, borrowing, diffusion, convergence and loss. As an analytical tool, phylogenetic depictions (tree and network graphs) also offer the possibility of studying the relationship between cultural evolution and innovation rates, for example, by comparing traits and estimating divergence over time. |
