TiMe: Transition in the Mediterranean
Collapse and transformation in the Mediterranean 1200–500 BC
The Ancient World experienced at the end of the Late Bronze Age major transformations in the cultural and political landscape which seem to have swept all over the Mediterranean and beyond. The aim of the network and associated projects is to fuse traditional studies of chronology and environment with theoretical approaches to technological change and interaction.
