The third millennium BC was a period of social change across the Eastern Mediterranean. Within a palimpsest of socio-cultural formations across this territory, material evidence indicates that certain individuals engaged with long-distance terrestrial and maritime exchanges. Beyond their socio-economic implications, such interactions stimulated the introduction and adaptation of different material practices which aimed to facilitate and promote such encounters by materialising shared ideals. The dressed body had a central role in these processes, as one of the entities observed and engaged in these interactions. Within this general framework, Cyprus is no exception. This chapter first outlines the current evidence demonstrating the Cypriot involvement in long-distance maritime exchange networks during the third millennium as well as those indicating the long-distance interactions within the island. Then, it uses the available corpus of metal jewellery and its inferred associations with the dressed body as a springboard for demonstrating their active role in the construction, manifestation and negotiation of the role of certain individuals in long-distance interactions. Consequently, it argues for the presence of multiple and often overlapping ‘dressing strategies’ active across Cyprus responsible for linking individuals across space, regardless of the physical boundaries within and beyond the island.
