“…Along with the weights, the site of Salcombe has also yielded a Sicilian strumento con immanicatura a cannone —perhaps a plough shoe (Needham & Giardino 2008; Needham et al 2013: 85–86). Such a device has hitherto only been found in thirteenth- to eighth-century BC contexts in Sicily (Giardino 1995: 17–26, 291–92). Furthermore, Pantalica-type razors have been found at Lakenheath, Suffolk, and in a hoard at Ommerschans in the Netherlands (Jockenhövel 1980: 80–81).…”

“…In a wider context, it can be noted that during the late 2nd millennium cal BC a series of local maritime networks connected the central Mediterranean with Iberia (e.g. Giardino 1995; Ruiz Gálvez 1997; Gómez Toscano and Fundoni 2009–2010). The Balearic Islands were probably used as stop-over places (e.g.…”

Only domestic mammals (sheep, goat, cattle, pig, and dog) and two rodent species constituted the faunal package introduced to the Balearic Islands by the early settlers in the 3rd millennium cal BC. Later animal introductions in the archipelago were thought to occur by the end of the 1st millennium cal BC due to contacts with Punic merchants or, more than likely, to the Roman conquest of the islands. Recently, several faunal remains belonging to different vertebrates (red deer, chicken, and rabbit) were found in the Talayotic site of Cornia Nou (Minorca), in contexts that date to the early 1st millennium cal BC. A series of radiocarbon (14C) dates was made directly on samples of small species to exclude the possibility of infiltration into lower layers. The obtained results show that chicken and rabbit were already present on Minorca in the early 1st millennium cal BC. Chicken is recorded in Phoenician colonies in south Iberia as early as the 8th century cal BC. Rabbit, on the other hand, is indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula. These new faunal introductions recorded in Minorca could be related to the Late Bronze and Phoenician maritime activity.

“…Sardinians should at least be considered as potentially active mariners in the exchange of goods around if not beyond the Tyrrhenian Sea (Giardino, 1995: 249–52). Like Lo Schiavo, we would argue that the growing corpus of Sardinian materials found overseas, from Sicily and Lipari to Crete and Cyprus in the Late Bronze Age, to Italy and Spain by the Early Iron Age, should not be viewed restrictively as the sole consequence of Aegean, Cypriot or Levantine merchants, traders and commercial expansion.…”

Sardinia and Cyprus: An Alternative View on Cypriotes in the Central Mediterranean

Recent research reveals what we term a ‘discourse of certainty’ regarding an assumed predominant socio-economic and cultural impact of Late Bronze Age Cypriotes or Mycenaeans on the local peoples of Sardinia and/or Sicily and Italy, not least in terms of a systematic, seaborne trading network extending from the Cyprus to the Tyrrhenian Sea. ‘Minimalist’ approaches to such a phenomenon have a long and venerable but more limited pedigree. In this study, we question why minimalist views have been so summarily dismissed in much current literature that seeks to evaluate an eastern Mediterranean presence or influence in the central Mediterranean. We focus on Sardinia, and on the range of Cypriot or ‘Cypriot-type’ materials found there. We consider the nature of the Cypriot–Sardinian relationship, and suggest that we should decouple foreign objects from foreign agents. We question several of the perceived Cypriot influences on Sardinian artefacts, and consider possible alternative mechanisms and routes of exchange between the east and central Mediterranean. We outline and discuss the array of presumed or actual Cypriot artefacts found on Sardinia, and argue that these do not add up to a ‘significant’ corpus of Late Cypriot materials and connections.
