Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections, Volume 12 contains papers given at University of Basel in Switzerland in August 2015 looking at the mobility of people and commodities in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in the 8th to 6th centuries BC.10 col and 20 b&w illus. and tables.
The workshop “People on the Move: Framework, Means, and Impact of Mobility across the East Mediterranean Region in the 8th to 6th Century BC,” held at the University of Basel, which forms the basis of this volume, addressed the question of how the increased cross-regional mobility of people and commodities in the wake of the Kushite, Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and early Achaemenid expansions into the eastern Mediterranean affected travelers, the communities they left behind, and the communities that received them. As demonstrated by the papers published here the diversity of the sources from this period and place requires a large number of specializations, both within the various area studies and regarding cross-regional connectivity.
