Overview

Aegean prehistory has developed over the 20th century into a distinctive and vibrant area of archaeological research. The field has seen a dramatic reorientation and expansion of goals and methods as well as a flood of new fieldwork in the Agean. Keeping abreast of these new developments has become a daunting task. This volume contains detailed syntheses of research, originally published in the American Journal of Archaeology and updated here. The book covers approaches to the discipline of Aegean prehistory whilst also presenting information pertaining to field projects, museum studies, analyses of materials and texts, and supporting theories of interpretation. An introduction by Tracey Cullen places the review articles in historical perspective, tracing the evolution of Aegean prehistory from the 19th century to the present. The author also considers the current status of the discipline - its relationships with classical archaeology and anthropology, and the manner in which it is shaped by various sociopolitical forces.
