The book under review presents 11 papers on mainly indigenous societies just prior to and during their early contacts with Greek-speaking settlers from the late 8th c. B.C. onwards. It therefore treats mostly the 9th to 7th c. and how those communities developed after the arrival of some overseas pioneers. Most of the contributions are case-studies of specific sites and territories from diverse coastal Italian regions stretching from the Gulf of Naples in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Gulf of Taranto in the Ionian Sea. Coastal areas of the S Italian Adriatic are hardly mentioned since Greek culture had a limited effect there (see below).
