Bronze Age Aegean Influence in the Mediterranean: Dissecting Reflections of Globalization in Prehistory

For many years the disciplines of archaeology and socio-cultural anthropological studies have become "hyper-specialized" and diverged in such a way that they no longer rely upon one another's research for theoretical development. The concept of globalization theory and its underlying and intertwined processes, most notably transnationalism, is a socio-cultural process that has practical applications to a broad analysis of the archaeological material of the Mediterranean and Near East. By analyzing the hybrid cultural characteristics evident in the material culture of the Mediterranean it will be possible to see the influence of Aegean culture during the Middle and Late Bronze Ages as well as into the Iron Age. In addition such analysis will reveal the underlying structure of transnationalism and globalization that cycles throughout the annals of history.
