This volume brings together scholars of Mediterranean archaeology,
ancient history, and complexity science to advance theoretical
approaches and analytical tools for studying maritime connectivity.
For the coast-hugging populations of the ancient Mediterranean,
mobility and exchange depended on a distinct environment and
technological parameters that created diverse challenges and
opportunities, making the modeling of maritime interaction a
paramount concern for understanding cultural interaction more
generally. Network-inspired metaphors have long been employed in
discussions of this interaction, but increasing theoretical
sophistication and advances in formal network analysis now offer
opportunities to refine and test the dominant paradigm of
connectivity. Extending from prehistory into the Byzantine period,
the case studies here reveal the potential of such network
approaches. Collectively they explore the social, economic,
religious, and political structures that guided Mediterranean
interaction across maritime space.
