Cyprus

Egypt and Cyprus in Antiquity
edited by D Michaelides, V Kassianidou and R Merrillees
The international conference 'Egypt and Cyprus in Antiquity' held in Nicosia in April 2003 filled an important gap in historical knowledge about Cyprus' relations with its neighbours. While the island's links with the Aegean and the Levant have been well documented and continue to be the subject of much archaeological attention, the exchanges between Cyprus and the Nile Valley are not as well known and have not before been comprehensively ...

The Stamp-Seals of Ancient Cyprus
by A.T. Reyes
Glyptics had a long history in Cyprus; from at least the fourteenth century BC, the island produced seals in significant quantities in a variety of shapes and styles. The cylinders from the Late Bronze Age are well documented, but the stamp-seals which came after them, and preceded the gem industry of classical times, have previously been neglected. This study examines them in order to discover what they reveal about society at the end of the ...

Neolithic Revolution: New perspectives on Southwest Asia in light of recent discoveries on Cyprus
edited by Edgar Peltenburg and Alexander Wasse

When Gordon Childe coined the term 'Neolithic revolution' he meant it to reflect these vast changes that had occurred in the near east. This book extends the reach of these changes to include Cyprus, presenting new ...

On the Margins of Southwest Asia: Cyprus during the 6th to 4th Millennia BC
by Joanne Clarke with contributions by Carole McCartney and Alexander Wasse
This book examines social change in Cyprus during the 6th to 4th millennia BC; a period that is traditionally viewed as one of prolonged cultural continuity and isolation from the mainland. Through the documentation and integration of technological practice and up-to-date climatic, ecological and environmental data, it is proposed that many of the observable differences between mainland southwest Asia and Cyprus during this period are the result ...
