This book, a guide and companion to the prehistoric archaeology of
Greece, is designed for students, travelers, and all general
readers interested in archaeology. Greece has perhaps the longest
and richest archaeological record in Europe, and this book reviews
what is known of Greece from the earliest inhabitants in the Stone
Age to the end of the Bronze Age and the collapse of the Minoan and
Mycenaean civilizations.
The book describes the prehistoric cultures of Greece in
chronological order, and illustrates with 98 detailed drawings each
culture's typical artifacts, architecture, burial customs, and art.
Written in an informal and accessible style free of scientific
jargon, the book can be used in the classroom or as a guide for the
traveler, or read simply for pleasure by anyone with a curiosity
about the earliest ages of this fascinating region.
Although intended for a wide audience, the book has a solid
scientific foundation. The authors are professional archaeologists
with more than 25 years of experience in the field and with a
first-hand knowledge of the methods and results of contemporary
research. There is no other book today that covers the same range
of periods and subjects, making it essential reading for anyone
interested in the early civilizations that shaped the Greek
landscape, laid the foundations for Classical Greek civilization,
and contributed in many ways to the formation of the modern Greek
world.
The authors have been careful to address the many questions
concerning prehistoric Greece that have been asked them by students
and visitors to Greece through the years. The illustrations were
created especially for this book, showing familiar artifacts and
sites from a new perspective, and selecting others for illustration
that rarely, if ever, appear in popular publications.
