Description: "The so-called Phoenician "expansion" in the western Mediterranean is treated here from the point of view of the social and economic factors that led to the phenomenon and the way it evolved over a period of approximately 300 years. To this end, the book gathers, collates and analyses the disparate evidence for networks of interaction in the western Mediterranean and Atlantic regions of Europe and north Africa in the period from the 9th to the 7th century BC"--
