The Cave of the Cyclops - Mesolithic and Neolithic Networks in the Northern Aegean, Greece, Volume II: Bone Tool Industries, Dietary Resources and the Paleoenvironment, and Archeometrical Studies

edited by Adamantios Sampson

This book completes the two-part series that serves as the final report for the excavation of the Cave of the Cyclops on the island of Youra in the Northern Sporades of Greece, a site that was occasionally occupied from the Mesolithic through Roman period. The second volume contains the results of detailed studies on the archaeological material, organic remains, and archeometric analyses that complete the image of this significant archaeological site. These studies help to further distinguish the main characteristics of the Mesolithic culture in the Aegean basin, including: the intense exploitation of sea resources, limited hunting activities, the collection of native fruits and land snails to supplement the diet, and attempts at domestication by isolated island communities. 395p, 102 tbls, 4 col illus, 98 b/w illus.

Review Quote
