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 participants include:

  • Principal Investigator: Prof. Manfred Bietak (University of Vienna)
  • Prof. Hartmut Matthaeus (University of Erlangen)
  • Prof. James Whitley (University of Cardiff)
  • Dr Simon Stoddart (University of Cambridge)
