Reviews
The book will probably appeal especially to budding scientists and archaeologists, and science-based detectives, but it has plenty to digest and enjoy for people of any age, including those whose undergraduate science seems a dim memory.' -- Gerald Cadogan The Anglo-Hellenic Review no. 39, Spring 2009 Overall, this book provides an an excellent scientific exploration of both ceramic and human remains from Bronze Age Greece... the data are excellently presented, with clear indications of where positive identifications can and cannot be made, and well defined areas for future research. [...] a useful contribution to a growing body of scholarship on dietary practices in the ancient Aegean.' -- Colleen Cummings Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Author Information
Dr. Yannis Tzedakis is the Director-General Emeritus of the Greek Archaeological Service, the excavator of the Late Minoan III Necropolis of Armenoi and Co-Director of the Armenoi Project. Amongst other publications, he is co-editor of Archaeology Meets Science: Biomolecular Investigations in Bronze Age Greece (with Holley Martlew and Martin Jones, Oxbow Books, 2008). Dr. Holley Martlew is the Co-Director of the Armenoi Project and the principal behind the initiation of a project which applied state of the art scientific analysis to ceramic artefacts and skeletal material from 16 sites in Crete, the Greek mainland, other Greek islands and the island of Vivara in the Bay of Naples. The results of this project were mounted in six international exhibitions in Europe and the USA.
