Seagoing ships under sail were operating between the Levant, Egypt, Cyprus and Anatolia by the mid-third millennium BC and within the Aegean by the end of that millennium. By the Late Bronze Age (after ca. 1700/1600 BC), seaborne trade in the eastern Mediterranean made the region an economic epicentre, one in which there was no place for Aegean, Canaanite or Egypt Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed October 22, 2018) Subject Seafaring life -- Mediterranean Region -- History -- To 1500 Shipping -- Mediterranean Region -- History -- To 1500 Ships, Ancient -- Mediterranean Region Bronze age -- Mediterranean Region HISTORY -- World.
