Description
This chapter surveys evidence of nonlocal ceramics from the Aegean, Cyprus, and Northwest Arabia, which provide some of the most concrete physical evidence of long-distance exchange. The geographic distributions of the artifacts reveal different exchange networks and clarify which sites and areas were able to participate in the growing exchange activities.
