The aim of this volume is to examine various forms of adaptation
adopted by coastal societies in the ancient Mediterranean in
response to external pressures they occasionally experienced. The
investigation spans the longue duree stretching from the
epi-paleolithic to the Medieval period. Special attention is given
to the impact of two groups of variables: climate and sea level
changes on the one hand, and fluctuations in political
circumstances connected with the domination of empires, on the
other hand. For adaptation, the volume analyses modes of coastal
residence, subsistence, and maritime connectivity, not as a static
feature, constant throughout history, but as a process that
requires permanent adjustments due to changes in environmental,
social and political conditions. Methodologically, various forms of
case studies are employed, isolating thematic issues, geographic
micro-regions, temporal boundaries, and disciplinary perspectives,
ultimately seeking to embrace as wide an array of phenomena as
possible in the human experience of collapse and adaptation.
