- Abstract
- This dissertation posits the development of ‘communities of practice,’ and a redefinition of Late Roman identity, on Crete and Cyprus in the transitional mid-7th through 10th centuries C.E. It does this by examining the movement and consumption of pottery, particularly imported material, in connection with textual information on dining practices to approach an understanding of communal identity formation during what have previously been termed the ‘Byzantine Dark Ages.’ In addition, the islands themselves are interrogated as useful heuristic categories for considering identity within an island archaeological framework at a time when connectivity collapses, and then recovers, across the seascape of the Eastern Mediterranean.
