Summary
Although mobility and connectivity comprise major parameters of Mediterranean life, it is not until the 2nd millennium bc that the Middle Sea actually became a connecting sea. The appearance of Mycenaean-style objects, predominantly pottery, in a growing number of sites in the eastern and central Mediterranean comprises some of the earliest and much discussed related evidence. To provide thoughtful insights into this multifaceted phenomenon, this chapter revisits the meaning and social life of these objects through an approach to human mobility that is multi-scalar and technology-based, putting emphasis on the study of technological practice, transmission and appropriation.
