In this book, Kramer-Hajos examines the Euboean Gulf region in Central Greece to explain its flourishing during the post-palatial period. Providing a social and political history of the region in the Late Bronze Age, she focuses on the interactions between this 'provincial' coastal area and the core areas where the Mycenaean palaces were located. Drawing on network and agency theory, two current and highly effective methodologies in prehistoric Mediterranean archaeology, Kramer-Hajos argues that the Euboean Gulf region thrived when it was part of a decentralized coastal and maritime network, and declined when it was incorporated in a highly centralized mainland-looking network. Her research and analysis contributes new insights to our understanding of the mechanics and complexity of the Bronze Age Aegean collapse.

This study provides an overview of the available evidence for the Mycenaean period in East Lokris, dealing with the sites, finds and environmental evidence. The second, analytical section looks at the influence of the landscape and location of the area on the North Euboean Gulf in determining settlement patterns, and on the economic history of the area. It concludes that although located at the periphery of the Mycenaean world, the area was fully integrated within Mycenaean culture, and that its coastal location, in fact enabled it to survive the collapse of the palace culture into the early Iron Age.
