This talk examines the use of modelling and digital methods to explore past mobility and connectivity in maritime spaces. Focusing on case studies from the Levant and northwest Europe during the Bronze Age and the Neolithic, it highlights how meaningful spatial modelling enhances our understanding of seafaring, trade, and interaction. By integrating spatial modelling, digital reconstruction, and experimental archaeology, this talk demonstrates the potential of these approaches to understanding the complexities of maritime mobility. It emphasizes the value of combining these methods to deepen our insights into the connections and intricacies that shaped early societies.

Location: McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Downing Site, Cambridge. The speaker will be online but all are welcome to attend in person as there will be a small reception afterwards. Register online here: https://cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/feS71pMITV6B56t053N7Sw#/registration
