| Summary |
"Following Oliver Dickinson's successful The Aegean Bronze Age, The Aegean from Bronze Age to Iron Age is an up-to-date synthesis of the period between the collapse of the Bronze Age civilisation in the thirteenth and twelfth centuries B.C., and the great advances towards Greek civilisation in the eighth century B.C." "Breaking away from outmoded theories which give undue credit to Athens for Greek development, Dickinson offers a fresh examination of the latest material and archaeological evidence and forms the compelling argument that many characteristics of Ancient Greece developed in the Dark Ages." "Including chapter bibliographies, distribution maps and new illustrations, this book will prove to be essential reading for students and specialists alike, as well as an illuminating read for the interested general reader."--Jacket |
