In The Value of Colour, an interdisciplinary group of scholars come upwardly together to show economically relevant questions concerning a narrow spell of social and cognitive history: namely, colours. Traditionally, the study of colours has been approached from a cultural or linguistic perspective. The essays collected inwards this volume highlight the fact that inwards earliest human history, colours look inwards contexts of prestige (value) too com-merce. Acquisition, production, labour, circulation too consumption are amid the issues discussed yesteryear individ-ual authors to present how colourful materials acquired meaning inwards the ancient Near Eastern too Mediterranean worlds. Spanning the Palaeolithic to the early on Imperial Rome, the contributions likewise demonstrate the many questions asked too approaches used yesteryear historians inwards the growing fi eld of Colour Studies
