Recently, voices have been raised regarding the challenges of Big Data-driven global approaches, including the realization that exclusively tackling the global scale masks social and historical realities. 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.

最近，人们就大数据驱动的全球方法的挑战提出了一些声音，包括认识到只解决全球规模会掩盖社会和历史现实。虽然多标量分析已经解决了这个问题，但全球方法的影响正在显现。我们强调其中一种影响：随着古典学术努力去殖民化，全球考古学中的古地中海仅以希腊罗马世界为中心，将非古典地中海边缘化，从而挫败了促进后殖民观点的尝试。在强调这一点时，我们的目标是双重的：首先，激发关于多尺度方法的辩论，建议将微观历史纳入考古分析；第二，
