In this book, Sarah Murray provides a comprehensive treatment of textual and archaeological evidence for the long-distance trade economy of Greece across 600 years during the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age. Analyzing the finished objects that sustained this kind of trade, she also situates these artifacts within the broader context of the ancient Mediterranean economy, including evidence for the import and export of commodities as well as demographic change. Murray argues that our current model of exchange during the Late Bronze Age is in need of a thoroughgoing reformulation. She demonstrates that the association of imported objects with elite self-fashioning is not supported by the evidence from any period in early Greek history. Moreover, the notional 'decline' in trade during Greece's purported Dark Age appears to be the result of severe economic contraction, rather than a severance of access to trade routes.

Despite the difficult nature of scholarship surrounding farmsteads, this site type is repeatedly used to describe small sites in the countryside which have varying evidence of domestic, storage, and agricultural activity. The aim of this book is to engage with the archaeological and textual data for farmsteads dating to the Classical-Hellenistic period of mainland Greece, with the purpose of understanding how these sites fulfilled agricultural roles as centres for occupation, storage, and processing for those working the land.

From the mid-20th century onwards, consolidated study of the merchant archives from the Old Assyrian trading colony at Kanes (Kültepe) has not only transformed our understanding of the social, economic and political dynamics of the Bronze Age Near East, but also overturned many preconceived notions of what constitutes pre-modern trade. Despite this disciplinary impact and archaeological investigations at Kültepe and elsewhere, our understanding of this phenomenon has remained largely text-based and therefore of limited analytical scope, both spatially and contextually. This book re-assesses the Old-Assyrian trade network in Upper Mesopotamia and Central Anatolia during the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1970 - 1700 BC) by combining in some analytical detail the archaeology (e.g. material culture, settlement data, etc.) of the region both on its own terms and via a range of spatial approaches. The author offers a comparative and spatial perspective on exchange networks and economic strategies, continuity and discontinuity of specific trade circuits and routes, and the evolution of political landscapes throughout the Near East in the Middle Bronze Age.

Le patrimoine archéologique est marqué par l’oubli que va interrompre la découverte du vestige. La mise à l’écart de la mémoire humaine, que provoque la perte puis le recouvrement stratigraphique, opère une transformation de l’objet.Sa fonction première – utilitaire ou décorative, cultuelle ou sociale – ou, plus simplement, celle pour laquelle l’objet a été fabriqué ou qui lui a été affectée, est renouvelée au moment de sa découverte au profit d’une fonction culturelle, sociale, politique et scientifique, asservie au témoignage et à la narration du développement de l’histoire de l’humanité et de sa relation avec l’environnement. L’objet le plus anodin peut être une source d’informations scientifiques irréductible à sa seule utilité ou fonction initiale. Celle-ci ne disparaît pas : elle est interprétée à l’aune de l’histoire ou, dans certains cas, instrumentalisée par des politiques identitaires.L’économie juridique des normes patrimoniales porte les empreintes de cette fonction culturelle et scientifique, voire identitaire du patrimoine archéologique. L’expression de l’intérêt scientifique, culturel ou politique ainsi que la mise en jeu de la règle juridique requièrent une double mise en condition : l’exhumation des vestiges et leur interprétation.Alors que la fouille s’inscrit dans une démarche scientifique et raisonnée, le pillage provoque la dispersion brutale et alimente le trafic illicite. Le patrimoine archéologique est aussi exposé au risque de dispersion, ou de destruction sous des pressions identitaires ou religieuses.Cet ouvrage met en relief, dans une approche interdisciplinaire, nourrie par un dialogue entre des archéologues, des conservateurs et des juristes, les enjeux qui fondent, notamment, les politiques de préservation du patrimoine archéologique et de diffusion des connaissances, la revendication des biens exportés en violation des normes en vigueur dans leurs pays d’origine et la réappropriation de leur patrimoine par les communautés spoliées.
