This volume marks David Frankel's outstanding contribution over 40 years to the prehistory of Cyprus, both through numerous publications and large-scale excavation and survey on the island. It includes contributions by colleagues from Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Australia, the USA and the UK, many of whom are currently directing excavations on the island. Arranged under three thematic headings ('Society and process', 'Sites and their settings' and 'Material and social transformations'), papers address issues of significance from the earliest settlement of the island (Efstratiou) to the role of Cypriot copper in the Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean (Kassianidou). The primary focus, however, is on the Bronze Age, with papers on seafaring and seafarers (Knapp), the history and timing of the Cypriot copper trade (Manning), changing political economies and landscapes at ancient Paphos (Iacovou) and regional studies and reports on recent discoveries at Kissonerga (Crewe), Kalavasos (South), the Dhiarizos Valley (McCarthy), the Skouriotissa mining area (Georgiou) and Nicosia (Pilides). Other chapters discuss issues of broad significance in the discipline, including the scale and context of pottery production and distribution (Bolger and Peltenburg, Dikomitou-Eliadou, Webb), metallurgical technology and embodied identity (Mina), migration processes (McCartney), feasting, deposition and site abandonment (Papasavvas), the meaning of space and place (Falconer and Fall) and processes of community affiliation (Bombardieri) and social control (Sneddon). Together they offer a cross-section of current work in the field and demonstrate the evolving nature of archaeological explanation within Cypriot prehistory and beyond.

Uppsala, 2013. In English. Hard cover, 29 cm, 248 pp., ill. ISBN: 978-91-7081-250-7.Presents the full documentation, analysis and discussion of the excavations carried out by Porphyrius Dicaeos in 1942 at Ambelikou Aletri. The site lies to the west of the modern village of Ambelikou, northwest of the Skouriotissa copper mines, in the northern foothills of the Troodos Mountains. It has always been known for the evidence of copper mining and processing through the discovery of Middle Bronze Age pottery in modern mines and the casting moulds and other evidence for metal processing at the site itself. Less well known is a potter's workshop. Here the catastrophic abandonment of the workshop, its installations and artifacts (including some four dozen jugs from the last kiln load) provides an insight into aspects of craft practices shortly after 2000 BC.==================================================================IMPORTANT: The shipping cost is an important parameter of this order; it is NOT included in… Read More

Description:
Sävedalen, 2009. In English. Hard cover, 29 cm, 316 pp. ISBN: 978-91-7081-241-5.In 1961, shortly before his death, the late J.R. Stewart excavated two Early and Middle Bronze Age cemeteries near the village of Karmi on the north coast of Cyprus.This volume presents the results of this work, including full descriptions of the tombs together with detailed catalogues and illustrations of the rich array of pottery and other grave-goods. This provides an important body of data with which to reassess developments on the north coast of Cyprus in the light of current research elsewhere on the island. Both cemeteries began to be used in the Early Bronze Age. While that at Lapatsa fell out of use, the Palealona cemetery continued into the Middle Bronze Age. The best-known feature of the latter site is the unique carving of a human figure in the entrance to one of the tombs. This, and other significant finds, including an imported Middle Minoan Kamares ware cup, can now for the first time be seen in their… Read More
