This period saw the growth and decline of varied political systems and the development of networks that would eventually expand to nearly all shores of the Middle Sea. Alex R. Knodell argues that in order to understand how ancient Greece changed over time, one must analyze how Greek societies constituted and reconstituted themselves across multiple scales, from the local to the regional to the Mediterranean. Knodell employs innovative network and spatial analyses to understand the regional diversity and connectivity that drove the growth of early Greek polities. As a groundbreaking study of landscape, interaction, and sociopolitical change, Societies in Transition in Early Greece systematically bridges the divide between the Mycenaean period and the Archaic Greek world to shed new light on an often-overlooked period of world history"--Provided by publisher.Societies in Transition in Early Greece Bronze ageGreeceIron ageGreeceSocial archaeologyGreeceMediterranean RegionCivilizationBronze ageIron ageSocial archaeology938.01Knodell Alex R.1070410NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910482020603321Societies in Transition in Early Greece2559489UNINA
