Reviews'This book, written by well-known experts who are good at explaining, is almost as up-to-date as any such book can be and will meet most needs, while suggesting where to read further.' The Anglo-Hellenic Review, "...archaeologist Cynthia Shelmerdine and her co-authors synthesize a huge specialized literature on the lands and islands of the Aegean between 3000 bc and 1070 bc. The book offers one of the best regional accounts of the origins of complex societies worldwide." Jared Diamond, Nature
