Abstract
This editorial introduces the papers originating from a 2021 workshop in Helsinki. It examines how network analysis serves as both a methodological tool and a relational framework bridging archaeology, philology, and history. The six contributions span wide temporal and geographic ranges, applying network approaches to ceramic, textual, architectural, and iconographic evidence. Beyond modelling past interactions, network perspectives reconceptualize the ancient world as a web of interconnected human and non-human agents, integrating formal analysis with broader theories of relationality and material entanglement.
