Hub or backwater? Uncovering Sardinia’s role within the Bronze Age networks
Conferenza svolta in inglese di Ph.D. in archeologia dell’università di Aarhus Valentina Matta
In Nuragic Sardinia, warrior ideals were woven into the production of iconic bronze statuettes and related warrior panoplies, all presented at central sanctuaries as ceremonial offerings. To unveil the syntax of Nuragic warrior imagery of the Final Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, this study employs network analysis and develops a dual anthropological perspective of transculture and warriorhood on the analytical outcome. The network analysis revealed warrior features of weaponry in Sardinia shared with certain other regions in the Near East, the Mediterranean and Europe. The interconnection of strong and weak ties revealed warrior identities on scales varying from local to supraregional. Overall, the study confirms that weaponry, and perhaps even warriors, were transcultural commodities which were appropriated on local and regional levels. The study makes it clear that Nuragic polities appropriated what we can term ‘transcultural warriorhood’ and made it local in a manner of speaking in the island’s politics and beliefs. Whilst Nuragic warrior representations undoubtedly possess a local stylistic character, they also reflect a sense of belonging to, and knowledge of, other communities in which war, cult and metal intersected with political forms of power at this time.
