Mediterranean Connections focuses on the origin and development of
maritime transport containers from the Early Bronze through early
Iron Age periods (ca. 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.
