| Summary: | Intensive colonization of all the Mediterranean islands began in earnest at the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Bronze Age (late fourth-early third millennium B.C.E.). Many factors helped determine how these diverse societies could survive in a region with limited agricultural resources. The island cultures of Cyprus, Crete, Thera, Rhodes and Sardinia are examined in their own social, economic and political contexts as well as in a Near Eastern context. |
