The papers collected in this special issue of Origini derive from Session #470 (Bridging the Walls: comparative perspectives on fortified settlements) and Session #1182 (Cooperating or competing? The organization of space and power using networks and systems of fortifications) organized during the 30th EAA Annual Meeting in Rome, as part of the activities of the EAA Community on Fortification Research (COMFORT). Rather than offering a comprehensive survey of fortified settlements across prehistoric and historic Europe, this collection brings together case studies that illuminate a fundamental archaeological problem: how do communities use physical boundaries to materialize, organize, and transform social and political life at different scales?
