Summary
Abstract
In this introduction to the volume we argue that the later prehistory of the Mediterranean has much to contribute to current debates in the humanities on the subject of mobilities. Although often avoided or maligned for its association with migration as an outmoded explanation for culture change, mobility is belatedly finding its way back into archaeological interpretation. We propose that the papers assembled here effectively bring out the range of mobilities in later Mediterranean prehistory, with a particular focus on the circulation of technological knowledge at different scales.
