Excerpt
"International Period" p. 282      “The increasing separation between palaces and the wider population in the kingdoms of the Late Bronze Age was in contrast to the increasing interaction between royal palaces, which were linked to each other in a series of personal, commercial and cultural relations, creating a stronger international environment than in previous periods”.

[cf. G. Buccellati's concept of "cosmopolitan period"; mDP]
