Travelling objects: cross-cultural exchange and interaction in the Western Mediterranean in the Early Iron Age
thesis
posted on 2017-01-13, 15:34 authored by Marcella RaiconiMy research focuses on issues relating to the dynamics of cross cultural contact and
exchange in the Western Mediterranean (in particular, Southern France and North Eastern
Spain) between the late seventh and the late sixth century BC, a period of great innovation
and changes in both regions. My work focuses on the ways in which some of the objects
acquired through encounter with traders from different cultural backgrounds were
integrated in the material culture of these regions, how they were perceived in the
geographical and social contexts in which they were acquired and how they could be used
to establish or maintain identities and statuses.
