Students and travelers to Sicily will welcome this inviting
introduction to the archaeology of the Mediterranean's largest
island. In the first English-language book on prehistoric Sicily in
over forty years, Robert Leighton explores the region's rich
archaeological record. He charts the development of Sicily's early
cultures from the Palaeolithic onward, concluding with an account
of the indigenous society at the time of Greek and Phoenician
settlement in the 8th century B.C.
Each chapter in this generously illustrated volume highlights
the principal developments of a major chronological period and then
addresses social and economic themes. Among the topics discussed
are settlement patterns and structures; local autonomy; external
influences; cultural expression; and contacts with Italy, nearby
satellite islands, and the Mycenaean world. Informed by recent
fieldwork and scholarship, this book is a necessary guide to the
current state of knowledge on prehistoric Sicily.
