Europe is, in world terms, a relatively minor peninsula attached to the Eurasian land mass, yet it became one of the most innovative regions on the planet, bearing restless adventurers who traversed the globe to trade & often to settle. By the fifteenth century Europe was a driving world force, but the origins of its success have until now remained obscured in prehistory. In this magnificent book, the distinguished archaeologist Barry Cunliffe sees Europe not in terms of states & shifting land boundaries, but as a geographical niche particularly favoured in facing many seas. These & the great transpeninsular rivers ensured a rich diversity of natural resources, & encouraged the interaction of dynamic peoples across networks of communication & exchange. The development of these early Europeans is rooted in complex interplays, shifting balances, geographic & demographic fluidity.

A bold book of exceptional scholarship & an erudite & engaging narrative, Europe Between the Oceans heralds an entirely new understanding of Old Europe. ...
