The Art and Archaeology of the Aegean Bronze Age offers a comprehensive chronological and geographical overview of one of the most important civilizations in human history. Jean-Claude Poursat''s volume provides a clear path through the rich and varied art and archaeology of Aegean prehistory, from the Neolithic period down to the end of the Bronze Age.
Charting the regional differences within the Aegean world, his study covers the full range of material evidence, including architecture, pottery, frescoes, metalwork, stone, and ivory, all lucidly arranged by chapter. With nearly 300 illustrations, this volume is one of the most lavishly illustrated treatments of the subject yet published.
Suggestions for further reading provide an up-to-date entry point to the full richness of the subject. Originally published in French, and translated by the author''s collaborator Carl Knappett, this edition makes Poursat''s deep knowledge of the Aegean Bronze Age available to an English-language audience for the first time.
