Of Micro, Meso and Macro Regions: Regional Space in the Middle and early Late Bronze Age Ionian Islands

Recent landscape archaeological research on the island of Zakynthos has resulted in the identification of a number of sites with pottery from the Middle Helladic and the early Mycenaean periods. In this article we will look at these archaeological materials and at the geographical location of the sites. Zakynthos will then be compared with other parts of western Greece and beyond, in order to identify similarities and differences in material strategies in the landscape. The analysis will result in a discussion on the intensity of interactions in regions of different scale, in which Zakynthos participated.
