Abstract

The Cypriot Late Bronze Age (referred to as Late Cypriot and LBA, 1680/1650–1100 b.c.e.) has attracted particular attention due to textual and material evidence that suggests engagement with the international maritime trade networks of the eastern Mediterranean. A longstanding scholarly preoccupation with interregional trade has encouraged the development of theoretical models that aim to reconstruct the economy of the island and generally view Late Cypriot coastal sites as gateway communities channeling copper to the eastern Mediterranean. Studies have also highlighted the local and regional significance of these communities and have shed light on their complex economic networks. In this paper, we use data from coastal Tochni-Lakkia, an actively eroding site located near two major Late Bronze Age centers (Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios and the Maroni Complex) to add nuance to smaller-scale regional interaction networks along the south-central coast of the island. To do that, we engage evidence from trial excavations and archaeological and geophysical surveys at Tochni-Lakkia in the form of a preliminary report with theoretical approaches that highlight the potential for and role of regional maritime networks and the concept of coastscape.

重新思考青铜时代晚期塞浦路斯的海岸考古遗址:托奇尼·拉基亚和中南部海岸景观
塞浦路斯青铜器时代晚期(被称为晚塞浦路斯和LBA,公元前1680/1650-1100年)由于文本和物质证据表明与地中海东部的国际海上贸易网络的接触而引起了特别的关注。长期以来,学术界对区域间贸易的关注鼓励了旨在重建该岛经济的理论模型的发展,并普遍将塞浦路斯晚期沿海地区视为向地中海东部输送铜的门户社区。研究还强调了这些社区的地方和区域意义,并揭示了其复杂的经济网络。在本文中,我们使用了沿海Tochni-Lakkia的数据,这是一个位于两个主要青铜时代晚期中心(Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios和Maroni Complex)附近的活跃侵蚀遗址,以增加岛屿中南部海岸较小规模的区域相互作用网络的细微差别。为此,我们从托奇尼-拉克基亚的试验挖掘、考古和地球物理调查中收集证据,以一份初步报告的形式,采用理论方法,突出区域海洋网络的潜力和作用,以及海岸景观的概念。
