Tenochtitlan, unlike any capital in Europe at that time,...

This text analyzes ceramic typology for southern Kyushu and proposed ceramic types and wares for the Ryukyus and Taiwan. The author suggests that cultural differences between Kyushu and the Ryukyus may have resulted from the isolation of small colonizing groups and through the interaction of the inhabitants within...

Description
By its geographical position, Algeria presents itself as a territory largely open to the western Mediterranean. However, its links with neighboring regions are still little studied. Until now, the works that have been interested in these relations have focused on a chronological period, a particular theme or a limited geographical area. This book is the result of a conference organized in 2017 with the aim of contributing to renewing the analysis...
