The ability of archaeology to trace objects itineraries, define clusters of things and provide structured evidence allowing the characterization of movements over time is well known. This book aims to use this potential in the undestanding of objects movement through Europe during the late Middle and early Modern Ages. Tracing the interactions of people, ideas and objects across cultural and geographical areas, all papers in this book consider how things on the move acquire new meanings and values and transform social relations and the environment in their new setting. Besides, tackling this consideration, authors from all over Europe discuss one or some of the following points: empirical aspects delving with the contribution of archaeology to trace objects itineraries; changing significance of artifacts from one context to another (trade value, use value, etc.); imports agency to transform the regional production horizon and host societies; objects action in their various contexts (materializing memory and emotions, etc), the various ways of transport: land or/and sea strategies, trade, gifts or other modes of exchange of objects or raw materials.
