The picture of Bronze Age genetics across the Mediterranean will become increasingly detailed and comprehensive in the coming years, and the specific contribution of the Sea Peoples to the genetic landscape of the region will become progressively clearer.

The Bronze Age Collapse itself will continue to be studied from multiple perspectives.

Paleoclimatology is providing increasingly precise reconstructions of the climate conditions that prevailed during the late second millennium BCE.

Sediment cores from the eastern Mediterranean and adjacent regions are adding to the picture of the drought conditions that are now understood as a significant factor in the collapse.

The convergence of paleoclimatic evidence with the textual and archaeological evidence is producing an increasingly nuanced understanding of the multiple forces that combined to end the Bronze Age world.
