- Abstract
- Hybridity and hybridization have recently become buzzwords in archaeological studies. In particular archaeologists working in the Mediterranean on Bronze Age networks of interaction (e.g. Feldman 2006; Knapp 2008, 2009, 2012; Steel 2002; Voskos and Knapp 2008), on Early Iron Age colonization (Antonaccio 2003, 2010; Dietler 2010; van Dommelen 2006; Hodos 2010; Vives-Ferrándiz Sánchez 2005, 2007, 2008) and on Romanization (van Dommelen and Terrenato 2007; Hodos 2006; Webster 2001) have found it a highly useful term to describe archaeological phenomena. Whereas Bhabha (2007) defined hybridity as a strategy of the suppressed and subaltern against their suppressors in a colonial context, archaeologists particularly perceive those objects as 'hybrid' which seem to resist classification within predefined taxonomies.
