The Aegean Bronze Age (Cambridge World Archaeology)

This is a really good book because of its detail and compactness. There is a major chapter on Arts and Crafts; but the chapter of importance to me is Burial Customs. Really comprehensive!

Some tough sledding due to the organization of the book, but worth persevering. Helped provide the kind of background I needed for a project on pre-palatial migrations around the Aegean and surrounding areas.

A well written book using up to date discoveries in archeology. Indeed the archeological evidence presented in this book is quite good focusing not only on man made artifacts but burial customs.To my mind the subject of trade is key to this book.It is written a scholarly fashion yet is approachable. From the archeological evidence theories are offered but the authors do not force any one position but offer them all in a level headed fashion.You will find yourself reading it from cover to cover but cherishing it as a reference.

Dickinson has put together a wonderful and thorough text. It can be hard to read in some places and with references to miscellaneous materials inserted into the middle of sentences. All-in-all, wonderful research material or advanced text, but too extensive for a beginner text.

I found this book very helpfull while studing Aegean Prehistory in University. Comprehensive and well documented with some very helpfull plates gives a summary of Aegean Bronze Age archaeological data. Enters not so mutch in details but covers many aspects of the vast Bronze Age data of Aegean. I would strongly suggest this book for archaeology students interested in the Aegean region

Required purchase for a course on the Aegean Bronze Age. I found it overly wordy and would have preferred more concise descriptions. Not an easy read and not suited for beginners.

I needed to buy this book for my Ancient Greek history course and it was okay. A lot of abbreviations that aren't really needed for the book.

I used this book, among others, for a recent archaeology paper and it proved to be invaluable. If archaeology of the Aegean BA is your interest then this book is for you
