The paper deals with an underlying issue of territories, so-called ‘cultural
spaces’ and network systems: The perception, notion and management of
space by the relevant people in times before the introduction of writing.
It will be outlined, how the definition and notion of spatial boundaries and
the interrelationship between the delimited areas (on the micro and macro
scale) are essentially depending on the human perception and conception
of space, and how physical factors and cosmological ideas are densely
entangled. The aspect of prehistoric wayfinding in the context of space/s and
boundaries (re-)production will be discussed in particular: How did people
get around? How did people think to know where they were, and how did
they think to know where they were not?
Examples from the European Bronze and Iron Ages will be consulted and critically
discussed in regards to their epistemological value and archaeological
significance, and kaleidoscopically combined into a set of theoretical-conceptual
suggestions on the geographical imagination of the people between
the 3rd and the 1st millennium BC.
