Contents:
Interregional interaction in the eastern Mediterranean during the Iron Age / James F. Osborne, Jonathan M. Hall -- Phoenicians and the Iron Age Mediterranean : a response to Phoenicoskepticism / Carolina López-Ruiz -- Mediterranean interconnections beyond the city : rural consumption and trade in archaic Cyprus / Catherine Kearns -- Connectivity, style, and decorated metal bowls in the Iron Age Mediterranean / Marian H. Feldman -- Close encounters of the lasting kind : Greeks, Phoenicians, and others in the Iron Age Mediterranean / Sarah P. Morris -- The Mediterranean and the Black Sea in the early first millennium BCE : Greeks, Phoenicians, Phrygians, and Lydians / Susan Sherratt -- Greeks, Phoenicians, Phrygians, Trojans, and other creatures in the Aegean : connections, interactions, misconceptions / John K. Papadopoulos -- Anatolia, the Aegean, and the Neo-Assyrian Empire : material connections / Ann C. Gunter -- Egypt and the Mediterranean in the early Iron Age / Brian Muhs -- Globalizing the Mediterranean's Iron Age / Tamar Hodos -- Six provocations in search of a pretext / Michael Dietler.
Summary: "The early first millennium BCE marks one of the most culturally diverse periods in the history of the eastern Mediterranean. Surveying the region from Greece to Iraq, one finds a host of cultures and political formations, all distinct, yet all visibly connected in meaningful ways. These include the early polities of Geometric period Greece, the Phrygian kingdom of central Anatolia, the Syro-Anatolian city-states, the seafaring Phoenicians and the Biblical Israelites of the southern Levant, the Urartian kingdom of the eastern Anatolian highlands, and the expansionary Neo-Assyrian Empire of northern Mesopotamia. This volume explicitly adopts an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the social and political significance of how interregional networks operated within and between Mediterranean cultures during that era"-- Provided by publisher.
