Islands in dialogue (ISLANDIA) : proceedings of the First International Postgraduate Conference in the Prehistory and Protohistory of the Mediterranean Islands

Includes bibliographical references.

The volume collects the proceedings of the conference 'Islands in Dialogue (ISLANDIA)', held in Torino on 14th–16th November 2018. The 20 essays included are intended to facilitate a 'dialogue' between early career scholars researching the archaeology of Mediterranean islands. The many-sided nature of contents offered by these contributions encompasses most of the major and minor islands of the Mediterranean, from the Balearic Islands to Cyprus and deals with a variety of themes and research perspectives, including exchange networks, ancient tech- nologies, economics and production, settlement patterns, architecture, materials studies, social dynamics, ideological aspects, new approaches and methodologies. A preface by Luca Bombardieri (Università di Torino) and an afterword by Helen Dawson (Freie Universität Berlin) enrich the volume and provide with a valuable framework for the essays by discussing key-questions on and past and present perceptions of the Mediterranean and its islands.
