Varied approaches to an overlooked timeperiod in the history and archaeology of the Mediterranean Thisbook presents multidisciplinary perspectives on Greece, Corsica, Malta, andSicily from the fourth to the thirteenth centuries, an often-overlooked time inthe history of the central Mediterranean. The research approaches and areas ofspecialization collected here range from material culture to landscapesettlement patterns, from epigraphy to architecture and architecturaldecoration, and from funerary archaeology to urban fabric and cityscapes. Topicscovered in these chapters include late Roman villas; the formation of Byzantineand Islamic settlements in western Sicily; reuse of protohistoric sites inlate antiquity and the middle ages in eastern Sicily; early Christianlandscapes and settlements in Corsica; the transition from late antiquitythrough Byzantine rule to Muslim conquest in Malta; trade network trajectoriesof the Aegean islands and Crete; and crosscultural interactions in medievalGreece. Together, these essays show the potential of post-Ancient andpost-Classical archaeology, highlighting missing links between the Roman worldand medieval Byzantium and broadening the horizons of new generations ofarchaeologists.Contributors: Carla Aleo Nero Effie F.
