Sardinia and Aegean Chronology

Sardinia and Aegean Chronology Volume 1 examines the complex interaction between Aegean and West Mediterranean societies from the Palaeolithic to the Roman period. This history text presents the proceedings of the International Colloquium on Sardinian Stratigraphy and Mediterranean Chronology held at Tufts University. The work focuses on resolving the incompatible relative and absolute dating methods that have previously hindered archaeological research in these regions.

The volume contains 46 academic papers that utilize diverse scientific and stylistic methodologies. Italian language contributions analyze architecture and sculpture, while English papers focus on radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, and obsidian analysis. By synthesizing these approaches, Sardinia and Aegean Chronology Volume 1 provides a critical framework for refining chronologies across the Mediterranean, benefiting scholars of both Western and Aegean historical development.
