| Riassunto: | "Beyond Thalassocracies aims to evaluate and rethink the manner in which archaeologists approach, understand, and analyse the various processes associated with culture change connected to interregional contact, using as a test case the world of the Aegean during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1600-1100 BC). The 14 chapters compare and contrast various aspects of the phenomena of Minoanisation and Mycenaeanisation, both of which share the basic underlying defining feature of material culture change in communities around the Aegean. This change was driven by trends manifesting themselves in the dominant palatial communities of each period of the Bronze Age. Over the past decade, our understanding of how these processes developed and functioned has changed considerably. Whereas current discussions on Minoanisation have already been informed by more recent theoretical trends, especially in material culture studies and post-colonial theory, the process of Mycenaeanisation is still very much conceptualised along traditional lines of explanation. Since these phenomena occurred in chronological sequence, it makes sense that any reappraisal of their nature and significance should target those regions of the Aegean basin that were affected by both processes, highlighting their similarities and differences. Thus, in the present volume we focus on the southern and eastern Aegean, in particular the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and the north-eastern Aegean islands"--From publisher's website Introduction: Methodological considerations / Luca Girella, Evi Gorogianni and Peter Pavúk -- The nature of Minoan and Mycenaean involvement in the northeastern Aegean / Luca Girella and Peter Pavúk -- Minoanisation, Mycenaeanisation, and mobility : a view from southwest Anatolia / Jana Mokrišová -- Discerning acculturation at Miletus : Minoanisation and Mycenaeanisation / Amy Raymond, Ivonne Kaiser, Laura-Concetta Rizzotto and Julien Zurbach -- Cultural entanglements on Kos during the late Bronze Age : a comparative analysis of Minoanisation and Mycenaeanisation at the "Serraglio," Eleona, and Langada / Salvatore Vitale -- Melos in the middle : Minoanisation and Mycenaeanisation at late Bronze Age Phylakopi / Jason W.
