Local Responses to Colonization in the Iron Age Mediterranean

The first study to bring together such a breadth of data, this book compares responses to colonization in the Iron-Age Mediterranean. From North Syria to Sicily and North Africa, Tamar Hodos explores the responses to these colonies in areas where Greeks and Phoenicians were in competition with one another via the same local communities. Highlighting the diversity of interest displayed by local populations in these foreign cultural offering, Hodos charts their selective adaptation, modification and reinterpretation of Greek and Phoenician goods and ideas as their own cultures evolve. For students of archaeology and history, this will provide an essential resource for their degree course studies.Hodos, Tamar is the author of 'Local Responses to Colonization in the Iron Age Mediterranean ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415378369 and ISBN 0415378362.
