Prenet

Prenet An archaeological research project funded with a Marie-SkŁodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 scheme.

The “PRENET” project aims at investigating the extent and directions of social communication in the early prehistory of the Eastern Mediterranean seascape and the cognitive/behavioural factors behind the observed patterns. The specific scientific objectives of the project are:
1) the investigation of social interactions in Eastern Mediterranean through the examination of raw material movement in e

arly prehistoric Cyprus, and
2) the determination of cognitive/behavioural elements behind our ancestors’ choices of specific raw materials, through the study of raw material selectivity. Misconceptions abound with regards to the eastern part of the Mediterranean and especially the island of Cyprus with current notions seeing the area as a barrier to early human presence. However, given its geographical location, its complex ecology and habitats this lack of human presence in Cyprus seems to be research–related rather than factual. The “PRENET” project aims at firmly putting such theories to rest by establishing the scales of raw material movement and communication networks in the Eastern Mediterranean.
