Blake, Emma
The subject of Mediterranean prehistory is both vast and complex which inevitably means that scholars tend to concentrate on a particular region or theme.

The twelve essays cover the period from the ...

Riva, Corrina
Debating Orientalization brings together papers presented at a symposium held in Oxford in 2002 to debate the theme of ancient Orientalization.
