Knossos Pottery Handbook: Neolithic and Bronze Age (Minoan)

edited by Nicoletta Momigliano

This volume presents the most up-to-date synthesis of the Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery sequence of Knossos, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Mediterranean and European prehistory.

The Knossos pottery sequence has formed the backbone of Aegean prehistoric chronology for over a century, and this is the first publication since Sir Arthur Evans's Palace of Minos that provides - within one cover - a complete overview of the main ceramic developments, which have occurred at this key site during more than five millennia (ca. 6500-1100 BC).

The volume is written by a small international team of archaeologists with extensive and first-hand knowledge of Knossian ceramics, whose work, over the years, has thoroughly questioned and modified previous dating of important ceramic assemblages and traditional definitions of ceramic phases. Their chapters present not only new updates of their previous works, but also a thorough re-examination of the stratigraphic and stylistic evidence currently available, and include previously unpublished material.

The volume is provided with over one hundred black-and-white illustrations, and is accompanied by a CD with colour images of selected Knossian ceramics. It will be an indispensable work of reference for archaeologists working in the prehistoric Aegean as well as other Mediterranean and European regions. 276p, 1 col plt, 148 figs, 36 tbls, CD-ROM (BSA Studies Volume 14, British School at Athens 2007)

Review Quote

"...a significant achievement and the editor and authors are to be commended for collectively bringing together in one volume the most up-to-date presentation of the pottery produced at Knossos, the largest and single most important archaeological site on Crete in the prehistoric period."
