This edited volume focuses on long-term economic structures reflected in material culture, analysing the emergent processes that affected production mechanisms and embedded economic behaviour. We aim to explore structures from the long-term (Longue Durée) through the medium-term (Conjonctures) to the short-term (Évenements) in terms of the French Annales School. That includes - among others - stable technologies, socioeconomic cycles, long-term economic concepts such as exploitation of land and its primary resources, but also the deeds of individuals or social groups acting in the processes of innovation, spreading (or limiting) of technological know-how, bordering thus on agency perspective. In order to link different approaches to particular temporal and spatial phenomena all over Europe, the EAA session "Persistent Economic Ways of Living - Production, Distribution, and Consumption in the Iron Age and Early Medieval Period" which took place at Pilsen in 2013, tried to incorporate a variety of regional and supra-regional approaches to past production, consumption and distribution processes throughout the long period from Late Prehistory to the Middle Ages. This volume is an outcome of that session, which has been further enriched by a series of additional papers from leading European scholars who were not present at the meeting in Pilsen.
