While multi-scalar analyses have confronted this problem, the effects of global approaches are being felt. We highlight one of these effects: as classical scholarship struggles to decolonize itself, the ancient Mediterranean in global archaeology pivots around the Graeco-Roman world only, marginalizing the non-classical Mediterranean, thus foiling attempts at promoting post-colonial perspectives. In highlighting this, our aim is twofold: first, to invigorate the debate on multi-scalar approaches, proposing to incorporate microhistory into archaeological analysis; second, to use the non-classical Mediterranean to demonstrate that historical depth at a micro level is essential to augment that power in our interpretations. date: 2022-06 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press official_url: https://doi.org/10.1017/S1380203822000101 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1942442 doi: 10.1017/S1380203822000101 lyricists_name: Riva, Corinna lyricists_id: CRIVA20 actors_name: Riva, Corinna actors_id: CRIVA20 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Archaeological Dialogues volume: 29 number: 1 pagerange: 1-14 citation: Riva, Corinna; Grau Mira, Ignasi; (2022) Global archaeology and microhistorical analysis.
