Mediterranean Connections
Mediterranean Connections
focuses on the origin and development of
Maritime Transport Containers from the Early Bronze through early Iron Age
periods (c. 3200–700
bc).
Analysis of this category of objects broadens our
understanding of ancient Mediterranean interregional connections, including
the role that shipwrecks, seafaring, and coastal communities played in
interaction and exchange. These containers have often been the subject of
specific and detailed pottery studies, but have seldom been examined in the
context of connectivity and trade in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean.
This broad study:
●
●
●
considers the likely origins of these types of vessels;
traces their development and spread throughout the Aegean and eastern
Mediterranean as archetypal organic bulk cargo containers;
discusses the wider impact on Mediterranean connections, transport and
trade over a period of 2,500 years covering the Bronze and early Iron Ages.
Classical and Near Eastern archaeologists and historians, as well as maritime
archaeologists, will find this extensively researched volume an important
addition to their library.
