Adriatic Offshore Islands and Long-Distance Interaction in Prehistory

This paper takes the example of the Adriatic offshore islands to explore the proposition that the archaeological record of small, remote islands reflects the intensity of long-distance interaction in prehistory. The Early Neolithic and the end of the Copper Age are the best-represented periods. They correspond to the times of large-scale stylistic unity: the former, of the Mediterranean Impressed Wares, and the latter, of Bell Beakers. During those periods, radical innovations were introduced over vast areas of Europe: first, a new subsistence economy, and second, a different kind of social organization. In both cases, long-distance interaction would have played a crucial role.
