Elements in the Aegean Bronze Age

This series is about the Aegean Bronze Age, one of the richest subfields of archaeology. It has long had abundant material finds (such as monumental architecture, goldwork, bronzes, ceramics, stone vases, figurines) but these have multiplied exponentially thanks to extensive fieldwork over the past few decades. Its riches extend to its ground-breaking scholarship too, serving as an important testing ground for new methods employed across the wider discipline of archaeology. However, earlier interpretations are increasingly placed under strain by the masses of new information, with new concepts now emerging that situate these finds in a new light. This Elements series is devised thematically to foreground these conceptual developments, while reflecting the range of institutional settings in which research on the Aegean Bronze Age is conducted. In the process, our aim is to produce an innovative and comprehensive review at the cutting-edge of the latest scholarship in Aegean prehistory.
