	BSA Studies 17 Scholars, Travels, Archives: Greek History and Culture through the British School at Athens edited by M. Llewellyn Smith, P.M. Kitromilides, and E. Calligas The British School at Athens is renowned for its discoveries in Bronze Age and Classical archaeology. This book reveals for the first time that in parallel with this story of archaeology and the classics, another theme runs persistently through the history of the School from its foundation in 1886. This is the contribution of British scholars to the study of Byzantine and modern Greek culture, art and architecture, anthropology, geography, ... Hardback. Price GB £55.00

Cavanagh, C. Gallou and M. Georgiadis This conference celebrated 100 years since the beginning of work in Laconia by the British School at Athens.

Ten of them record the genesis and the development of archaeological survey in Cyprus; they also discuss the reasons why the twentieth century ended with serious set-backs in the protection of cultural landscapes, despite the fact that in Cyprus survey was conducted in the name of archaeological resource management as early as 1955. The credit for this accomplishment goes to Hector Catling, who had envisioned ... Hardback. Price GB £49.00
