false 210782 1 This book looks at the 942 artifacts of foreign origin - from Anatolia, Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, Mesopotamia, and Syro-Palestine - which have been found in the late Bronze Age Aegean area. These objects represent the only group of material in the LBA Aegean that has not disintegrated or disappeared, and as such are unique in providing information about the complex trade networks of the period. Begining with a discussion of trade and transactions in the LBA, Cline then examines the literary and pictorial evidence for international trade and presents a full catalogue of objects with description, origin, and bibliographic references. Three appendices include information on raw materials, problematic objects, and disputed contexts. This information provides a useful database for those studying Aegean and Mediterranean trade. 204017 1 5 1994 Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: International Trade and the Late Bronze Age Aegean (BAR International Series 591) total:2|3:2| 2 6 2 0 3 0 false false Sat Jun 20 20:37:42 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 20:37:42 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 16 11:34:15 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 16 11:34:15 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=210782
