It also admirably fulfills the aim of drawing attention to often-overlooked regions: as a reader who works largely in the Aegean and was trained in a Classics department, I found the discussions of Egypt, the Black Sea, and Phrygia particularly valuable.\" * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is an interesting volume with engaging discussions on various modes of connectivity. The chapters are well written, supported by some good illustrative material, and effectively address the four themes set out in the introductory chapter, leaving the best to last.\" * Antiquity *\u003cbr\u003e“This volume is essential reading for anyone studying ancient Mediterranean societies and their development. It is an important and timely manifestation of new thinking and innovative approaches to the complex world of the early first millennium BCE and its cross-cultural connections.” -- Lin Foxhall, Rathbone Professor of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, University of Liverpool\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Connected Iron Age\u003c\/i\u003e is a solid and worthwhile collection that brings an original focus on the East Mediterranean to the burgeoning literature on connectivity.” -- Peter van Dommelen, Joukowsky Family Professor in Archaeology, Brown University\u003cbr\u003e“This volume is an up-to-date synthesis of interregional networks during the early first millennium in the Mediterranean from Iberia in the west to the Levantine coast and the Black Sea in the east. It explores a range of recent theoretical approaches regarding economic, social, and cultural connectivity and offers new and vigorous directions to the study of Mediterranean interactions and cultural contacts of the period.” -- Irene Lemos, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e Interregional Interaction in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Iron Age\u003cbr\u003e James F.
