This book examines how exotic materials were exchanged and used
across the Mediterranean from the Neolithic era to the Iron Age,
focusing on the Bronze Age. A variety of materials and
interpretative approaches are presented through several case
studies. These emphasise how the value of exotic materials depended
on the context in which they were consumed. The book firmly departs
from assumptions of fixed categories such as prestige items or
corresponding values, as evident in the Amarna letters. Instead, it
shows how almost any object could be appreciated or ignored
depending primarily on the cultural, social and economic dynamics
of individual communities.
