Light holds a pivotal significance in shaping our perception of the world, as it intricately orchestrates the utilization and experiences of spaces, ultimately influencing how individuals construct and negotiate their identities, foster social connections, and assign meaning to (im)material practices. Within the realm of archaeological practice, the examination of material culture becomes an endeavor to analyze the intricate interplay between people, objects, and spaces. Recognizing the profound influence of light on these relationships, it becomes essential to delve into its principles and understand the impact of illumination on sensory experiences and perception. Regrettably, studies of lightscapes within the archaeological discipline have remained relatively neglected and understudied. This volume aims to rectify this by presenting a comprehensive and accessible exploration of light in archaeology and beyond. Comprising dedicated and vividly illustrated chapters, it delves into diverse aspects of illumination across different spatial and temporal contexts, ranging from prehistory to the present. Authored by esteemed international scholars, the book critically examines the qualities and affordances of light in various contexts and (im)material environments, investigates its manipulation, and challenges its elusive nature. The outcome is a rich synthesis of invaluable insights into sensory experience and perception, highlighting the profound impact of illumination on social, cultural, and artistic realms.
