Book excerpt: This book presents the first comprehensive overview of the Black Sea region in the prehistoric period. The Black Sea is a key transitional zone between Europe, Central Asia, and the Near East, which has long been divided by politics, language, and traditional boundaries of scholarly disciplines. This book cuts across disciplines and combines sources published in Eastern European languages with Western scholarly literature to give the Black Sea its rightful place in contemporary archaeological discourse.

Book Synopsis Archaeology of the Early Black Sea Region by : Claudia Glatz

Download or read book Archaeology of the Early Black Sea Region written by Claudia Glatz. This book was released on 2015-06-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the pre-classical Black Sea has historically been both regionally fragmented and peripheral to European, Mediterranean, Eurasian, and Near Eastern archaeological traditions. Unlike the Mediterranean, the Black Sea is traditionally conceived of as a boundary or obstacle to interaction, rather than as a catalyst for cultural contact and exchange. Lacking almost completely from the literature, both theoretically and through archaeological case studies, is the exploration of sea-based connections in this region. This is the first book to investigate inter-regional contact and interaction in and around the early Black Sea, as well as potential insularity or remoteness from it - both important themes in archaeological research. A central emphasis here lies on the material culture of connections and the significance of local social contexts. Each author in this collection addresses a range of key issues, including archaeological evidence for cultural connectivity or isolation; the means through which interactions took place and the physical parameters enabling/constraining such interactions; and the motivations and effects of inter-regional exchange for the societies concerned. This cutting-edge volume establishes the study of the pre-classical Black Sea as a significant field of research in its own right, demonstrated through some of the best recent research in the field.

Rotroff), epigraphic evidence (Jakob Munk Hojte), and a number of case studies presenting the material on which is based the dating of a series of Greek and barbarian/non-Greek sites and burial monuments on the northern shores of the Black Sea (Valentina V.
