- It is argued here that the new forms of mobility instantiated by the demand for metals set Bronze Age political economies apart from what had gone before. Transport by sea and by land was transformed by innovative technologies (the sail, the chariot), enabling long- distance mobility, especially when combined. Th ese changes helped create a new interconnected ‘globalised’ world without historical precedent. In this chapter it is suggested that fl ows of people and material were facilitated by certain social institutions, with a widely shared tradition of warrior chiefs and traders primarily responsible.
