Abstract: | Different types of Mediterranean coral are described, and the potential sources of prehistoric coral in the central Mediterranean are considered. Early examples of coral artefacts from in and around the alpine region, as well as their finds-contexts, are then described and chronologically defined, and their value, use, and exchange is discussed. |
