Papers on the main Mediterranean islands from West to East in Late Antiquity.

Offers a view of the main Mediterranean islands from West to East in Late Antiquity, since Mediterranean islands can contribute in fundamental ways to our understanding not only of earlier colonisations but also later periods. The volume explores specifically the time frame from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Medieval period. Different groups of papers cover islands and island groups in the Central and Western Mediterranean, the Eastern Mediterranean, and changing perceptions of island landscapes in Late Antiquity.

AUTHORS: Miguel Ángel Cau Ontiveros is ICREA Research Professor and director of the Archaeological and Archaeometrical Research Group of the University of Barcelona (ERAAUB), Spain. He is an archaeologist focused on the Late Antique Mediterranean and on archaeometry of ceramics. He is co-director of the excavations of the Roman city of Pollentia and the early Christian site of Son Peretó in the Balearics. He has been Visiting Professor at the universities of Cagliari, Sassari (Italy) and Brown (USA).

Catalina Mas Florit is an archaeologist focusing on Late Antiquity, especially in the western Mediterranean with a particular interest in island systems and rural areas. She has directed the excavations of the Roman villa of Sa Mesquida (Mallorca, Spain), and the Early Christian complex of Illa del Rei (Menora, Spain).

Reviews for Change and Resilience: The Occupation of Mediterranean Islands in Late Antiquity

Together the contributors make a persuasive case that far from being insular backwaters, islands in Late Antiquitywere diverse, dynamic and embedded in networks of connectivity. --Antiquity
