In this book, Thomas F. Tartaron presents a new and original
reassessment of the maritime world of the Mycenaean Greeks of the
Late Bronze Age. By all accounts a seafaring people, they enjoyed
maritime connections with peoples as distant as Egypt and Sicily.
These long-distance relations have been celebrated and much
studied; by contrast, the vibrant worlds of local maritime
interaction and exploitation of the sea have been virtually
ignored. Dr Tartaron argues that local maritime networks, in the
form of 'coastscapes' and 'small worlds', are far more
representative of the true fabric of Mycenaean life. He offers a
complete template of conceptual and methodological tools for
recovering small worlds and the communities that inhabited them.
Combining archaeological, geoarchaeological and anthropological
approaches with ancient texts and network theory, he demonstrates
the application of this scheme in several case studies. This book
presents new perspectives and challenges for all archaeologists
with interests in maritime connectivity.
