A useful up-to-date overview of the archaeology of Mycenae, written by someone who has been involved in, and directed, excavations at the citadel for sixty years and who aims here to make the extraordinary disoveries accessible to a general readership. Arranged chronologically, French's study discusses and illustrates burials, structures, artefacts and wall-paintings, setting them within their historical and social context, and considers Mycenae's significance within the Bronze Age Aegean.
