Tartessos and the Phoenicians in Iberia
This is the first book in English about the earliest historical civilization in the western Mediterranean, known as "Tartessos". It combines the expertise of its two authors in archaeology, philology, and cultural history to present a comprehensive, coherent, theoretically up-to-date, and informative overview of the discovery, sources, and debates surrounding this puzzling culture of ancient Iberia and its complex hybrid identity vis-à-vis the western Phoenicians.
Tarteso y los fenicios de occidente
La obra fundamental sobre la histórica civilización más antigua del Mediterráneo Occidental conocida como Tarteso. Dotado de una extraordinaria riqueza en metales y estratégicamente ubicado entre las rutas comerciales del Atlántico y el Mediterráneo en el momento de la expansión colonial griega y fenicia, Tarteso floreció entre los siglos VIII y VI a. C., prolongando su cultura en el entorno del Guadina hasta comienzos del siglo IV a.C. Se convirtió en una cultura urbana, alfabetizada y sofisticada en el suroeste de Iberia, y se vio enriquecida por el contacto con comerciantes del Egeo y el Levante desde al menos el siglo IX. En sus rituales y en su cultura material veremos cóm...
La Protohistoria en la península Ibérica
La Protohistoria en la España prerromana es una visión actual del Bronce Final y la Edad del Hierro en la península Ibérica, que es el Far West del Viejo Continente como última tierra de Eurasia. El manual se estructura en seis capítulos, escritos por un grupo de investigadores de diferentes universidades e instituciones, que abordan todos los aspectos de las diversas culturas y pueblos que conforman el complejo mosaico de la Protohistoria en la península Ibérica, desde los hallazgos arqueológicos más recientes a las últimas investigaciones sobre tecnología, economía, sociedad, religión, ideología, lingüística, tradiciones orales reflejadas en la iconografía y paleogenética. Todos los capítulos arrancan con un panorama general del Bronce Final de los respectivos territorios, que se estudian desde una perspectiva geocultural, es decir, analizando los elementos culturales comunes, pero incidiendo también en las peculiaridades de cada uno de ellos. En definitiva, se ilustra cómo procesos históricos y mitos actuales sobre nuestra complejidad cultural hunden sus raíces en estos lejanos tiempos.
Consumerism in the Ancient World
Greek pottery was exported around the ancient world in vast quantities over a period of several centuries. This book focuses on the Greek pottery consumed by people in the western Mediterranean and trans-Alpine Europe from 800-300 BCE, attempting to understand the distribution of vases, and particularly the reasons why people who were not Greek decided to acquire them. This new approach includes discussion of the ways in which objects take on different meanings in new contexts, the linkages between the consumption of goods and identity construction, and the utility of objects for signaling positive information about their owners to their community. The study includes a database of almost 24,...
Food in the Ancient World from A to Z
Sensual yet pre-eminently functional, food is of intrinsic interest to us all. This exciting new work by a leading authority explores food and related concepts in the Greek and Roman worlds. In entries ranging from a few lines to a couple of pages, Andrew Dalby describes individual foodstuffs (such as catfish, gazelle, peaches and parsley), utensils, ancient writers on food, and a vast range of other topics, drawn from classical literature, history and archaeology, as well as looking at the approaches of modern scholars. Approachable, reliable and fun, this A-to-Z explains and clarifies a subject that crops up in numerous classical sources, from plays to histories and beyond. It also gives references to useful primary and secondary reading. It will be an invaluable companion for students, academics and gastronomes alike.
Colonial Encounters in Ancient Iberia
During the first millennium BCE, complex encounters of Phoenician and Greek colonists with natives of the Iberian Peninsula transformed the region and influenced the entire history of the Mediterranean. One of the first books on these encounters to appear in English, this volume brings together a multinational group of contributors to explore ancient Iberia’s colonies and indigenous societies, as well as the comparative study of colonialism. These scholars—from a range of disciplines including classics, history, anthropology, and archaeology—address such topics as trade and consumption, changing urban landscapes, cultural transformations, and the ways in which these issues played out in the Greek and Phoenician imaginations. Situating ancient Iberia within Mediterranean colonial history and establishing a theoretical framework for approaching encounters between colonists and natives, these studies exemplify the new intellectual vistas opened by the engagement of colonial studies with Iberian history.
The Greeks in Iberia and their Mediterranean Context
This volume explores the effects of Greek presence in the Iberian Peninsula, and how this Iberian Greek experience evolved in resonance with its neighbouring region, the Mediterranean West. Contributions cover the Phocaean settlement at Emporion and its relationship with the indigenous hinterland, the government of the Greek communities, Greek settlement and trade at Málaga, the Greek settlement of Santa Pola, Greek trade in Southern France and Eastern Spain, the implications of imported Attic pottery in the fifth and fourth centuries BC and the conception of Iberia in the eyes of the Greeks. The Iberian Peninsula invites discussion of key notions of ethnic identity, the use of code-switchi...
