About this title

Synopsis

This volume presents the papers from the conference "Crete 2000: A Centennial Celebration of American Archaeological Work on Crete (1900-2000)," held in Athens from July 10-12, 2000. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) Study Center for East Crete organized the conference. Scholars participating in the American and joint Greek-American excavations on Crete or studying material from these excavations were invited to present papers at the conference. The volume is divided into the following sections: Trade, Society and Religion, Chronology and History, Landscape and Survey, and Technology and Production.

Review

These volumes offer not only an exceptionally useful locus standi in their summaries of research investigation at each site, or a single aspect of that research, but are also a delight to look at, with scores of illustrations ranging from the biographical and ethnographic to critical evidence for current research and interpretation.'
