Res Maritamae: Cyprus and the Eastern Mediteranean from Prehistory to Late Antiquity

An interdisciplinary anthology of 26 papers, three in French, pivoting on the study of port cities as gateways to land and sea transportation systems through which moved the people, trade, and ideas of antiquity. Covering approximately 10,000 years from the early Holocene through the Roman period, they discuss such issues as eustatic change, the exploitation of raw materials, trade, marine archaeology, ship iconography, some of antiquity's more flamboyant characters, harbor technology, shipwrecks, and seafaring. Well illustrated in black and white with drawings, maps, and photographs. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
