Nomads of the Mediterranean: Trade and Contact in the Bronze and Iron Ages
Studies in Honor of Michal Artzy
Series: - Culture and History of the Ancient Near East, Volume: 112
Three millennia of cross-Mediterranean bonds are revealed by the 18 expert summaries in this book—from the dawn of the Bronze Age to the budding of Hellenization. An international team of acclaimed specialists in their fields—archaeologists, historians, geomorphologists, and metallurgists—shed light on a plethora of aspects associated with travelling this age-old sea and its periphery: environmental factors; the formation of harbors; gateways; commodities; the crucial role of metals; cultural impact; and the way to interpret the agents such as Canaanites, "Sea Peoples," Phoenicians, and pirates. The book will engage any student of the Old World in the 3000 years before the Common Era.
Ayelet Gilboa is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Haifa in Israel, co-directing the Tel Dor and Shikmona projects. She published extensively on cross-Mediterranean interconnections; Phoenicians; "Sea Peoples"; Iron Age ceramic chrono-typology; and the symbolic properties of material culture.
Assaf Yasur-Landau is Professor of Mediterranean Archaeology and Head of the Leon Recanati Institute of Maritime Studies at the University of Haifa. He co-directed excavations at Kabri and Hazor, underwater excavations at Tel Dor and underwater surveys at the Carmel coast.
