| Summary: | The application of the globalization theory to colonial contexts in recent years has emphasized the articulations between colonized and colonizers. For the Mediterranean Iron Age, the focus has been upon the expressions of local (colonized) identities, and of regional variabilities of the overseas Greeks and Phoenicians; any attention to the engagements that Greeks and Phoenicians had among them during this time has been solely contrapositive in the framing of arguments. The present study analyzes the background to this circumstance by specifically addressing the engagement between these global cultures on a Mediterranean-wide scale during the period of their overseas foundations. Regarded from the perspective of a globalization framework, the common sets of practices and shared bodies of knowledge reveal a deep complexity of intercultural contact during the Iron Age, reminding us that cultures should never be individually considered. |
