520    Things travel around the globe: they are shipped as mass 
       consumer goods, or transported as souvenirs or gifts. 
       There are infinite ways for things to be mobile, not only 
       in the era of globalisation but since the beginning of 
       time, as the earliest traces of long distance trading 
       show. This book investigates the mobility of things from 
       archaeological and anthropological perspectives. Material 
       Objects are characterised by temporal continuity, 
       embodying a prior existence with lingering effects. Yet 
       the material continuity disguises the transformations they
       may undergo, which only become evident upon closer 
       examination. Objects are in perpetual flux, leaving 
       visible traces of their age, usage, and previous life. 
       While travelling through time, objects also circulate 
       through space, and their spatial mobility alters their 
       meaning and use with respect to new cultural horizons. As 
       objects transform through time and space, so does the 
       value attributed to them. Mapping out itineraries of value
       in the realm of the material, allows us to grasp the 
       nature of a given social formation through the shape and 
       meaning taken on by its valued 'stuff'. It also provides 
       insights into the nature of materiality, through the value
       ascribed to objects at a given point in time and space. 
       This edited volume brings together studies of material 
       culture, materiality and value, with regard to the 
       mobility of objects, with the aim of tracing the ways in 
       which societies constitute their valued objects and how 
       the realm of the material reflects upon society
