Thomas Tartaron, associate professor of classical studies, won the Archaeological Institute of America’s (AIA) James R. Wiseman Book Award for best archaeological book of the year for Maritime Networks in the Mycenaean World, which takes a new look at maritime life among the Mycenaean Greeks from 1600-1100 B.C. While the Greeks’ long-distance trade with Egypt and Cyprus has been substantially studied, local maritime networks have been largely ignored and the locations of Mycenaean harbors are virtually unknown. In his book, Dr. Tartaron provides concepts and methods for recovering lost harbors and short-range maritime networks using information from ship construction, coastal paleoenvironments, oral histories, Homer and other ancient texts, archaeological fieldwork and network theory.
