The Mediterranean and Trans-Atlantic Colonial Landscapes

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Landscapes Above and Below in Northern Contexts (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Colonialism was not the invention of the trans-Atlantic empires of the 16th century. Colonialism has existed in what is known as Western Civilization for almost as long as Western Civilization has existed; dating as far back as the Archaic Period, circa 650 to 480 BCE, of Greece. This work is to serve as a comparison of how physical space was used for the establishment of colonial dominance in Spanish El Salvador and Hellenistic Italy.
