Spanning across vast expanses of space and time, this comprehensive book brings together the most recent research on the socio-cultural phenomenon of caravans. It reveals that caravans have been a prevalent feature in both the Old and New Worlds for long-distance trade in arid regions. In addition to historical and archival sources, ethnographic studies of modern caravans serve as valuable theoretical frameworks for reconstructing various aspects of ancient caravans, including behavior, rituals, and material culture. The volume also reflects on the evolving focus of caravan research and the uncertain future of caravans, as memories of living caravaners fade and the fragile and remote nature of caravan-related sites puts them at risk. This book will appeal to scholars from anthropology, archaeology, history, and other fields interested in trade, travel, and nomadism.
