Connected hinterlands : proceedings of Red Sea Project IV held at the University of Southampton, September 2008

This volume contains 22 papers from the fourth Red Sea conference which take archaeological approaches to the study of connectivity in the Red Sea area across a wide timespan. Essays are grouped in five sections: ancient peoples of the Red Sea; the southern hinterlands: Eritrea and Yemen; a transitional sea: the Late Antique and Early Islamic Red Sea; people, ports and products: the medieval Red Sea; and travelling the Red Sea: pilgrimage, navigation and seafaring.
