New Approaches to the Archaeology of Beekeeping is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to comprehensively explore the rich tapestry of beekeeping archaeology across a vast and interconnected geographic region, encompassing the Mediterranean, central Europe, and the Atlantic Façade. This growing interest in beekeeping stems from the alarming decline of bees worldwide, which poses significant threats to global agriculture. Consequently, all aspects of beekeeping, from ancient times to the present, are being meticulously examined. The volume specifically focuses on innovative approaches to historical beekeeping, while also offering fresh insights into the treatment of apicultural material from the past. Moreover, it is deeply committed to assisting readers in navigating the complexities inherent in studying beekeeping historically. This comprehensive volume brings together scholars from diverse fields, including ancient, medieval, early modern, and ethnographic evidence of beekeeping. By bringing together these diverse perspectives, the book serves as a valuable handbook for current researchers in this field and also provides a valuable resource for those interested in delving into the archaeology of beekeeping.
