It posits that islands served not only as isolated settlements but also as vital nodes in maritime networks, facilitating cultural exchange rather than dominance. The papers within reconceptualize the understanding of islands as both connected and separate, highlighting their dual role in shaping and transmitting Phoenician culture.
