Cycladic and Aegean Islands in Prehistory
«
"Here at last is a handbook that covers all Aegean islands excepting Crete through their prehistory, from the Paleolithic era to the end of the Bronze Age. Sensibly organised in chronologically sequential chapters, each further broken down into a recurring topical format, Berg’s representation of Aegean island archaeology is clear, full, and richly illustrated – a truly valuable teaching manual. Her synthesis of the rapidly accumulating evidence for the Paleolithic exploitation of Aegean islands is timely, while her assessment of where things stand in the ongoing controversy over the date and impact of the Theran volcano’s catastrophic explosion early in the Late Bronze Age is both wide-ranging and fair."

This textbook offers an up-to-date academic synthesis of the Aegean islands from the earliest Palaeolithic period through to the demise of the Mycenaean civilization in the Late Bronze III period. The book integrates new findings and theoretical approaches whilst, at the same time, allowing readers to contextualize their understanding through engagement with bigger overarching issues and themes, often drawing explicitly on key theoretical concepts and debates. Structured according to chronological periods and with two dedicated chapters on Akrotiri and the debate around the volcanic eruption of Thera, this book is an essential companion for all those interested in the prehistory of the Cyclades and other Aegean islands.
