The volume under discussion is devoted to the search for borders in archaeology and takes as a case study the archaeology of Anatolia and the South Caucasus in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Up until the mid 1st millennium BCE, these regions differ in interregional and macro-regional interaction, political complexity, economic and mobility strategies, and communication of identities, among which use and spread of writing through time. They are united by their representation in ancient sources and modern literature as borderlands. These features represent the core of the discussion developed in the volume. At stake is on the one hand the heuristic value of the concept of borders in historical and archaeological research and their archaeological correlates, on the other hand the indigenous, ancient perception, definition and use of the same concept in the study area, and its change throughout space and time
