An interdisciplinary consideration of how eastern Mediterranean cultures in the first millennium BCE were meaningfully connected.
 
The early first millennium BCE marks one of the most culturally diverse periods in the history of the eastern Mediterranean. Surveying the region from Greece to Iraq, one finds a host of cultures and political formations, all distinct, yet all visibly connected in meaningful ways. These include the early polities of Geometric period Greece, the Phrygian kingdom of central Anatolia, the Syro-Anatolian city-states, the seafaring Phoenicians and the biblical Israelites of the southern Levant, Egypt’s Twenty-first through Twenty-fifth Dynasties, the Urartian kingdom of the eastern Anatolian highlands, and the expansionary Neo-Assyrian Empire of northern Mesopotamia. This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the social and political significance of how interregional networks operated within and between Mediterranean cultures during that era.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This well-produced volume succeeds in its stated goal of emphasizing the complexity of cultural exchange in the Early Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean. It also admirably fulfills the aim of drawing attention to often-overlooked regions: as a reader who works largely in the Aegean and was trained in a Classics department, I found the discussions of Egypt, the Black Sea, and Phrygia particularly valuable." ― Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"This is an interesting volume with engaging discussions on various modes of connectivity. The chapters are well written, supported by some good illustrative material, and effectively address the four themes set out in the introductory chapter, leaving the best to last." ― Antiquity

“This volume is essential reading for anyone studying ancient Mediterranean societies and their development. It is an important and timely manifestation of new thinking and innovative approaches to the complex world of the early first millennium BCE and its cross-cultural connections.” -- Lin Foxhall, Rathbone Professor of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, University of Liverpool

“The Connected Iron Age is a solid and worthwhile collection that brings an original focus on the East Mediterranean to the burgeoning literature on connectivity.” -- Peter van Dommelen, Joukowsky Family Professor in Archaeology, Brown University

“This volume is an up-to-date synthesis of interregional networks during the early first millennium in the Mediterranean from Iberia in the west to the Levantine coast and the Black Sea in the east. It explores a range of recent theoretical approaches regarding economic, social, and cultural connectivity and offers new and vigorous directions to the study of Mediterranean interactions and cultural contacts of the period.” -- Irene Lemos, University of Oxford

Daniel Morgan
2.0 out of 5 stars Read this *only* if your special interest is ancient maritime trade research
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2023
Both times I read this, my favorite chapter is the final chapter where - without naming names - the author critiques the approaches and methodologies of the other scholars in the book. It is a genuinely clever and witty essay, but it also captures my sense of frustration with many of the previous essays.

I did learn new things, and there were genuinely interesting facts, but a lot of the connectivity studies seem based on questionable evidence and assumptions. Who knows - maybe I'm just too ignorant to see the value of these studies, but as a laymen who picked this up on a whim this was not my cup of tea.
