Araque Gonzalez, Ralph: Inter-Cultural Communications and Iconography in the Western Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age

The symbolic images of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age that were widespread in the central and western Mediterranean offer a broad base for the understanding of the inter-cultural communications and the alleged spread of ideas and knowledge throughout the area. The book comprises a comprehensive, comparative analysis of iconographical records from Sardinia, Southwest Iberia, Corsica and Sicily within their archaeological context of the intense contacts that had emerged in the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. Settlement archaeology, monument building, funeral rites and religious ritual as well as local economic approaches in these four regions, which were connected by a network of anchorages, are also examined and compared. The communitarian organization as well as the allocation of power within prehistoric societies are analyzed through alternative theoretical methods considering heterarchy and complex anarchic societies. 397 Seiten mit 214 Abb. und 20 Tab., Großformat, gebunden (Freiburger Archäologische Studien; Band 9/Verlag Marie Leidorf 2018) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
