An Island Archaeology of the Early Cycladesby Cyprian BroodbankA new and up-to-date review of Cycladic history, the first major study of its type since Renfrew's Emergence of Civilization. This is a study of island archaeology, with in-depth discussions of all the issues that are peculiar to such environments - colonisation, interaction, communication, trade and diffusion. Cyprian Broodbank steers us through the history of the Cyclades from pre-colonisation, through the Neolithic, Bronze and post-Bronze Age, highlighting the influences and effects of insularity. 414p, 122 b/w figs, 12 tbs (Cambridge UP 2000)
