Permeable boundaries in the late 3rd millennium BC Central Mediterranean. Contacts and mobility between the Balkans, Greece, Southern Italy and Malta
The relationships between the Aegean and the central Mediterranean during the second half of the 3rd millennium BC have been recently discussed by J. Maran and other scholars, who have focussed their attention particularly on Greece and the Balkans yet highlighting the connections between these regions and southern Italy, Sicily and the Maltese archipelago. Nonetheless some issues remain to be examined in more detail. Firstly, the chronological framework of the different areas involved in this phenomenon as well as the time-scale of these connections has yet to be refined.
