Reviews

The volume is a monument to thoroughness and transparency… At least as important as the volume’s fascinating and far-reaching conclusions for the archaeology, politics and rituals of the ancient Cyclades, however, are the highly detailed studies of the archaeological material, which will permit readers to test their own theories. It is through such exhaustive studies that progress is promoted. This is an essential volume for any archaeological library of import with an impressive host of authors who are to be commended for their high-quality work.
