RELITTI SULE ROTTE DEI POPOLI DEL MARE Tra storia e leggenda

Abstract

Through the study of the two ancient shipwrecks, Uluburun and Cape Gelidonya, probably of Canaanite origin, dating back to the Late Bronze age, information can be gathered on active trades up until 1200 BC in the eastern Mediterranean. Detailed analysis of the type of cargo has been performed to find a possible connection with the so-called Sea Peoples, who could operate as traders on board or "ship owners".
