Conclusions Summary "The Mediterranean's Iron Age period was one of its most dynamic eras. Stimulated by the movement of individuals and groups on an unprecedented scale, the first half of the first millennium BCE witnesses the development of Mediterranean-wide practices, including related writing systems, common features of urbanism, and shared artistic styles and techniques, alongside the evolution of wide-scale trade. Together, these created an engaged, interlinked and interactive Mediterranean. We can recognise this as the Mediterranean's first truly globalising era. This volume introduces students and scholars to contemporary evidence and theories surrounding the Mediterranean from the eleventh century until the end of the seventh century BCE to enable an integrated understanding of the multicultural and socially complex nature of this incredibly vibrant period"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 21, 2020) Subject Urbanization -- Mediterranean Region -- History -- To 1500 Writing -- Mediterranean Region -- History -- To 1500 Iron age -- Mediterranean Region Antiquities Economic history Emigration and immigration Iron age Urbanization Writing SUBJECT Mediterranean Region -- Antiquities Mediterranean Region -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- To 1500 Mediterranean Region -- Economic conditions. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005009 Mediterranean Region -- History -- To 476. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98005633 Subject Mediterranean Region Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2020009134 ISBN 9780511979316 0511979312 9781108907705 1108907709
