The Ionian Islands in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, 3000-800 BC
Author:Christina Souyoudzoglou-Haywood
Summary:Souyoudzoglou-Haywood (department of Classics and research curator of the Classical Museum, U. College Dublin) examines the closest-knit group of Ionian Islands (Lefkada, Kefalonia, Ithaki, Zakynthos) first as a geographically bounded region, and secondly as a region within the Aegean cultural area that marks the north-western boundary of its expansions. Spanning the period from 3000 to 800 BC, she treats all the categories of archaeological evidence (tombs and cemeteries, settlement sites and artifacts) chronologically and thematically, emphasizing continuity through change and the adoption or adaptation of foreign stimuli. Contains 73 groups of b&w plates.
