This volume publishes 14 archaeological papers from a graduate student workshop on the archaeology of the Aegean. Themes of exchange and connectivity are prominent, with contributors focusing mainly on prehistoric data, but comparative research is always to the fore, and there are also essays on Classical, Byzantine and modern periods. Overall the volume explores the concept of an Aegean koine, engaging with discussions of the history and historiography of the Mediterranean kick-started by Horden and Purcell's Corrupting Sea .
