Bronze Age Mediterranean Island Cultures and the Ancient Near East

Intensive colonization of all the Mediterranean islands began in earnest at the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Bronze Age (late fourth-early third millennium B.C.E.). Many factors helped determine how these diverse societies could survive in a region with limited agricultural resources. The island cultures of Cyprus, Crete, Thera, Rhodes and Sardinia are examined in their own social, economic and political contexts as well as in a Near Eastern context.
