Mediterranean Connections - A. (University of Glasgow Knapp - Bog

Mediterranean Connections focuses on the origin and development of maritime transport containers from the Early Bronze through early Iron Age periods (ca. 3200¿700 BC).This broad study presents these vessels as central to understanding interregional connectivity and trade in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean, and also considers the role that shipwrecks, seafaring, and coastal communities played in interaction and exchange. Classical and Near Eastern archaeologists and historians, as well as maritime archaeologists, will find this extensively researched volume an important addition to their library.
