Cipros

The book is a comprehensive panorama of two periods of Cypriot archaeology, the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1600-1150 BC) and the Geometric and Archaic periods (ca. 1050-500 BC), which are of great importance to the development of the ancient civilization of Cyprus. Relations within the Mediterranean are traced and many new discoveries and findings of archaeological excavations in differing parts of the Mediterranean world are also exploited in order to account for various aspects of Cypriot culture. ?The conclusions are documented and the descriptions brought to life by lavish illustrations. A lengthy, up-to-date bibliography is included.
