The Bronze Age BeginsThe Ceramics Revolution of Early Minoan I and the New Forms of Wealth that Transformed Prehistoric Societyby Philip P BetancourtThis volume focuses on economic and social changes, particularly during the opening phase of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete. New develop-ments in ceramics that reached Crete at the end of the Neolithic period greatly contributed to the creation of the eco-nomic, technological, social, and religious advancements we call the Early Bronze Age. The arguments are two-fold: a detailed explanation of the ceramics we call Early Minoan I and the differ-ences that set it apart from its predecessors, and an explanation of how these new and highly superior containers changed the storage, transport, and accumulation of a new form of wealth consisting primarily of processed agricultural and animal prod-ucts like wine, olive oil, and various foods preserved in wine, vinegar, honey, and other liquids. The increased stability and security provided by an improved ability to store food from one year to the next would have a profound effect on the society.

Mochlos IIB: Period IVThe Mycenaean Settlement and Cemetery: The Potteryby R Angus K Smith Excavations carried out at two Late Minoan III sites at Mochlos in eastern Crete yielded a pottery assemblage from 31 tombs and 11 houses, which are cataloged, discussed, and illustrated together with petrographic analyses. The cemetery remains mirror the settlement remains, and the conclusions discuss how the two sites reflect each other. Rarely in Crete are a settlement and its cemetery both preserved, and it is extremely fortunate to be able to document both in a series of scientific excavation reports (Mochlos IIA-IIC).320p, 40 tbls, 93 b/w figs, 35 b/w pls (INSTAP Academic Press 2009, Prehistory Monographs 26) hardback, 9781931534543, $80.00.

Pseira XBlock AFby Philip P BetancourtThis volume, the tenth in the series of excavation reports about the harbor town of Pseira, which is located on the island of the same name, just off the northeast coast of Crete, focuses on the excavation and interpretation of the architecture and material culture in Block AF. This southern group of buildings is one of the most important areas in the settlement because of its long succession of building phases. In addition to domestic pottery, the houses furnish examples of stone tools, stone vessels, loom weights, inscriptions in Linear A, cult objects, animal bones, marine shells, and a wide range of material recovered from water sieving. This latter category, with burned grain, fish bones, shells, and other categories of materials, fills many gaps in our knowledge of Pseiran life.330p, 64 b/w illus, 42 tbls, 21 b/w pls (INSTAP Academic Press 2009, Prehistory Monographs 28) hardback, 9781931534567, $80.00.

Thin-Section Petrography of Ceramic Materialsby Sarah E Peterson with contributions by Philip P BetancourtThis booklet provides a concise overview of the history and application of this type of petrographic analysis. When thin-section analysis is employed as part of a thorough, multi-disciplinary study of ceramic ma-terials, it provides a wealth of additional interpretative data to archaeologists, al-lowing for more accurate interpretations

of the past, especially regarding pottery production, provenance, variations in technology over time and space, exchange networks on local and non-local scales, and even social issues such as choices of both manufacturers and consumers and traditions of manufacture.27p (INSTAP Academic Press 2009, INSTAP Archaeological Excavation Manual 2) paperback, 9781931534550, $9.95.

Retrieval of Materials with Water Separation Machinesby Sarah E Peterson with contributions by Philip P Betancourt A water separation, or flotation, ma-chine is an instrument that divides soil into three components: the material that floats, the stones and other heavy por-tions that do not float, and the particles that either dissolve in water or become suspended in it and are washed away. The primary purpose for utilizing such a device

is the recovery of organic remains, such as charred seeds, charcoal, or small bones, which would otherwise be permanently lost. 27p (INSTAP Academic Press 2009, INSTAP Archaeological Excavation Manual 1) paperback, 9781931534536, $9.95. Special Offer $8.00

Time’s Up! Dating the Minoan Eruption of SantoriniActs of the Minoan Eruption Chronology Workshop, Sandbjerg, November 2007edited by David A WarburtonPapers by natural scientists, archaeologists, egyptologists and clas-sicists discussing the newest evidence of the Santorini eruption. The papers fall into two sections. I: Evidence, geology, archaeology & chronology; II: Debate: typology, chronology, methodology.298p, illus (Aarhus University Press 2009, Monographs of the Danish Institute at Athens 10) hardback, 9788779340244, $60.00.

SantoriniVolcano, Natural History, Mythologyby Walter L Friedrich, translation by Alexander R McBirneyWhen the Greek island of Santorini, classically known as Thera, erupted dra-matically in 1613 BC (+/- 13 years), it produced one of

the largest explosions ever witnessed, thereby pos-sibly giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. This so-called ‘Minoan’ eruption triggered tsunamis that devastated coastal settlements in the region, and on Santorini it left behind a Bronze Age Pompeii, which is currently being excavated. The author blends the thrill of scien-tific discovery with a popular presentation of the geol-ogy, archeology, history, peoples, and environmental settings of the island group of Santorini. He not only gives a comprehensive overview of the volcanic island and its past, but also reports on the latest discoveries. 324p, col illus (Aarhus University Press 2009) hardback, 9788779345058, $45.00.

Sparta and LaconiaFrom Prehistory to Pre-Modernedited by W G Cavanagh, C Gallou and M Georgiadis This volume contains papers from a confer-ence that celebrated the 100 years since the beginning of work in Laconia by the British School at Athens. The conference aimed to carry forward from that original work a broad spirit of inquiry – the research of those early scholars ranged over every aspect of the archaeology, epigraphy, his-

tory, architecture and art history of the region. The papers published here have been arranged chronologically and they cover an immense span from the Palaeolithic to recent times. There are, however, other disciplinary and thematic connections, which form junctures across the chronological order: material culture, religion and belief, cultural iden-tity, epigraphy, topography, architectural studies, iconography, histori-ography, anthropology, and the economy and the history of Laconia. 455p, 397 figs, 6 tbls, 2 col pls (British School at Athens 2009, BSA Studies 16) hardback, 9780904887617, $194.00.

Sparta: Menelaion IThe Bronze Ageby H W CatlingThis two-volume set is the account of an excavation by the British School at Athens at the ma-jor Mycenaean settlement in the central Eurotas valley of Laconia, close to the site of ancient and modern Sparta, in the south-central Peloponnese. It presents the results of fieldwork undertaken by the School in 1973–77, 1980 and 1985 on the Bronze Age structures spread across the Menelaion Ridge. Detailed considerations of the stratigraphy and architecture are supported by approximately 175 plans and sections. The pottery from each deposit is presented in catalogue format, supported by statistical analyses, drawings and photographs. Also catalogued and discussed are ‘small finds.’ Much further information is gathered in CD-ROM form, including the 1910 excavation records.2 vols, 524p text, 366p pls, CD-ROM (British School at Athens 2009, Supplementary Volume 45) hardback, 9780904887594, $410.00.

LH III C Chronology and Synchronisms IIILH III C Late and the Transition to the Early Iron AgeProceedings of the International Workshop held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences at Vienna, February 23rd and 24th, 2007edited by Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy and Anna Elisabeth BächleThe Vienna workshops on LH III C Chronology and Synchronisms

serve the purpose of developing a generally applicable chronological framework of the LH III C period and contribut-ing to a better understanding of the history of this important phase of the early history of Greece. The third workshop was dedicated to the last phases of the Mycenaean civilization and the transition to the Protogeometric period. Apart from the presentation of mostly unpublished materials from old and new excavations, the proceedings of this workshop contains contributions to many subjects concerning the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Ages. Several speakers pointed out that the end of the Mycenaean civilization and the transition to the Early Iron Age expressed itself by differ-ent cultural phenomena in the various regions of Greece. One of the main topics was the much-debated question of whether or not there existed a so-called Submycenaean period, and if so, how it should be defined. Moreover, a new proposal for the absolute chronology of the end of the Late Bronze Age is suggested, which will certainly raise a lively discussion.408p, illus (Austrian Academy of Sciences 2009) paperback, 9783700165989, $116.00.

Political Economies of the Aegean Bronze AgePapers from the Langford Conference, Florida State University, Tallahassee, 22–24 February 2007edited by Daniel J PullenThis volume brings together an international group of researchers to address how Mycenaean and Minoan states controlled the economy. The contributions, originally delivered at the 2007 Langford Conference at Florida State University, examine the political economies of state (and pre-state) entities within the Aegean Bronze Age, including the issues of: centralization and multiple scales of production, distribution, and consumption within a polity; importance of extraregional trade; craft specialization; the role of non-elite institutions, and the politi-cal economy before the emergence of the palaces. The contributors address these issues from an explicitly comparative perspective, both within and across Minoan and Mycenaean contexts. The conclusions reached in this volume shed new light on the essential differences between and among “Minoan” and “Mycenaean” states through their political economies.256p, 42 b/w illus, 15 tbls (Oxbow Books, May 2010) paperback, 9781842173923, $60.00.

From Minos to MidasAncient Cloth Production in the Aegean and in Anatoliaby Brendan BurkeTextile production was of greater value and importance to people in the past than any other social craft activity; everyone depended on cloth. As with other craft goods, such as pottery, metal objects, or ivory carving, the large-scale pro-duction and exchange of textiles required specialization and some degree of centralization. This book takes an explicitly economic ap-proach to textile production, focus-ing on regional centers, most often referred to as palaces, to under-stand the means by which states in the Aegean and Anatolia financed themselves through cloth indus-tries. From this, it is possible to look for evidence of social stratification, inter-regional exchange, and orga-nized bureaucracies. Spanning mul-tiple millennia and various sources of evidence, Burke illustrates the complex nature of cloth produc-tion, exchange, and consumption and what this says about individual societies and prehistoric econo-mies, as well as how developments in cloth industries reflect larger aspects of social organization.240p, 87 b/w illus, 5 maps, 19 tbls (Oxbow Books, July 2010, Ancient Textiles Series 7) hardback, 9781842174067, $60.00.

The Chrysokamino Metallurgy Workshop and its Territoryby Philip P BetancourtThis detailed report describes archaeological fieldwork conduct-ed between 1995 and 1997 in rural northeast Crete. Excavations were made in two locations: a metallurgy workshop (aban-doned in EM III) and a nearby rural habitation site, perhaps a farmhouse (used until LM III). An intensive survey of the vicin-ity revealed other activities in the area from the Early Neolithic onwards, and placed the sites in a micro-regional context.484p, 137 illus (American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2006, Hesperia Supplement 36) paperback, 9780876615362, $65.00.

Minoansby J Lesley FittonThis book assesses what we really know about the Minoans’ life and times, defining the essential characteristics of a distinc-tive Cretan culture and setting this within its contemporary historical context, which included not only Greece but the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. The author discusses the major themes of daily life such as social and economic orga-nization, agriculture, architecture and religion, drawing upon the latest archaeological research including examples of Linear B and the evidence of recent excavations to paint a broad chronological picture of a fascinating and important culture.200p, 12 col & 100 b/w illus (British Museum Press 2002) hardback, 9780714121406, $45.00.

The Palace of Minos at Knossosby Chris Scarre and Rebecca Stefoff On March 23, 1900, Arthur John Evans and his staff began to excavate on Crete, looking for the fabled site of Knossos, where an extraordinary civilization, a precursor to classical Greece, was rumored to have existed. Almost from the first shovel stroke, artifacts began to emerge. Evans realized that here was “an extraordinary phenomenon, nothing Greek, nothing Roman. A wholly unexplored world.” The Palace of Minos at Knossos recounts the exciting story of uncovering a remarkable society lost to the world for 3,500 years, from its initial discovery through its excavation to the structure we see today. Sidebars on archaeological techniques, illustrations of the sites, tables, and diagrams throughout provide a wealth of information on the Palace. The use of artifacts and other “docu-ments” recovered from the Palace bring out the voices of the people of the past, offering clues to who they were and how they lived. The Palace of Minos at Knossos concludes with an interview with archaeologist Chris Scarre, who talks about the misperceptions and what we really know about its culture.48p, 54 col & 10 b/w illus (Oxford University Press 2003) paperback, 9780195142723, $22.95.

The Ionian Islands in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age 3000–800 BCby Christina Souyoudzoglou-Haywood It is always interesting to read studies of insular or isolated groups or environments, and to speculate on why they do not tend to mirror changes in neighboring areas. This book stud-ies the archaeological evidence during the period 3000–800 BC, the settlements, cemeteries, artifacts and environment of each individual island. In a concluding chapter, the islands are studied as a group looking at general sequences of his-torical and cultural development and the role of foreign, outside influences in accounting or contributing to these changes. A clear and well-illustrated archaeological study.217p, 73 b/w illus (Liverpool University Press 1999) hardback, 9780853236542, $110.00. Reduced to $29.98

Food, Cuisine and Society in Prehistoric Greeceedited by Paul Halstead and John C Barrett Food and drink, along with the material culture involved in their consumption, can signify a variety of social distinctions, identities and values. Thus, in Early Minoan Knossos, tableware was used to emphasize the difference between the host and the guests, and at Mycenaean Pylos the status of banquet-ers was declared as much by the places assigned to them as by the quality of the vessels form which they ate and drank. The ten contributions to this volume highlight the extraordi-nary opportunity for multidisciplinary research in this area.205p (Oxbow Books 2005, Sheffield Studies in Aegean Archaeology 5) paperback, 9781842171677, $48.00.

Sotira KaminoudhiaAn Early Bronze Age Site in Cyprusedited by Stuart Swiny, George Rapp, and Ellen HerscherThe excavations at Sotira Kaminoudhia in southern Cyprus revealed the remains of tombs and an Early Bronze Age settle-ment. This is the first Early Bronze Age settlement to be exca-vated in Cyprus, an era previously known only from mortuary deposits. This volume provides a final report on the excava-tions and includes specialist studies on various artifact groups, including: ceramics, chipped and ground stone, metals and terracottas. Other chapters focus on the skeletal remains, local flora and fauna, the geology, the environment, and a regional archaeological survey. This important report provides a wealth of new material from the southern part of the island, mate-rial that may now be compared with finds from the contem-poraneous site of Marki Alonia in the centre of the island.586p, b/w illus (American Schools of Oriental Research 2003, ASOR Archaeological Reports 8) hardback, 9780897570640, $99.95.
