Rise of rulers
Across a period of some 5,500 years, communities with increasingly complex political and economic inequalities developed in south-east Europe, and a new elite grew their power through technology, trade, rituals, and warfare.
In this issue, we showcase spectacular finds from the region that chart this prehistoric journey from egalitarian farming communities to societies ruled by mighty kings and queens.
