David Frankel & Jennifer M. Webb Moufflon Publications, 2008, ISBN: 978-9963642281, pp.35, p/b, CY£ 5.27/ €9.00 This booklet provides an intimate portrait of a small Bronze Age village and the lives of its inhabitants. Ten years of archaeological excavations at Marki, south of Nicosia in Cyprus, have revealed an extensive area of buildings and large quantities of everyday tools, utensils and other remains. These illustrate the history of the community over 500 years, from the establishment as a small settlement of several dozen people in about 2400 BCE, through its subsequent growth, decline and final abandonment. David Frankel and Jennifer M. Webb have both spent more then 30 years studying the archaeology of Cyprus and have published numerous books and have published numerous books and other studies of the Bronze Age. Since 1990 they have jointly led the Australian Cyprus Expedition excavations at Marki, Deneia and Politiko. Both work at La Trobe University of Melbourne, where David is a Reader in Archaeology and Jenny is Charles Joseph La Trobe Research Fellow.

It concludes that certain architectural forms or designs became accepted through association with particular doctrinal positions. A chronological and theological framework for the various architectural forms found in the region is provided. Illustrations include 38 plans which enable comparisons to be made and churches to be more easily understood as important markers in the history of early Christianity.

..Once upon a time - around 2,400 BC - a few dozen people set up the small
village of Marki on the island of Cyprus. Excavations in progress. They survived
on their cereal crops and livestock - harvesting wheat and barley, raising
sheep, cattle, donkeys, goats and pigs, and hunting deer - and engaged in mining
and processing local copper. With an average life-span of thirty to forty years,
most village women died before their first grandchild was born. Yet these early
Bronze Age people lived in congenial style, in well-constructed houses of stone
and mudbrick, within large communal courtyards - the social centerpiece of
village life, where families congregated en famille or with other families from
neighbouring houses. There were relationships of kinship and friendship between
the villagers of Marki and neighbouring settlements, but over the next few
hundred years, as their population expanded, the villagers’ lives became
increasingly complex. Where once several families baked bread in a common
courtyard, individual families now retreated to their own hearths. They stored
their grain in jars and bins inside their houses, instead of communal storage
facilities, and many villagers began making their own pottery in preference to
bringing it in from larger centres nearby. Relationships became more formal,
households exhibited increasingly more need for privacy, and the sharing of
resources within and between households diminished. Gradually the village itself
changed shape. Originally a small and close-knit community of several households
linked by open courtyards, Marki soon acquired the accoutrements of greater
sophistication. Rectilinear, more individualised architecture and walled
courtyards with doorways ensured greater household privacy, while an
increasingly dense network of village streets and laneways controlled access
between the houses...

No one who has ever had any dealings with Cypriote Archaeology within the last
fifty years can possibly have escaped to have heard or met Vassos Karageorghis.
During his more than thirty years as Director of the Department of Antiquities,
Vassos Karageorghis managed to introduce and uphold an open and welcoming
attitude towards foreign missions wishing to excavate in Cyprus. The immediate
result was numerous new excavations, international conferences and a wealth of
publications which developed and renewed Cypriote archaeology in a multitude of
directions. To this should be added Karageorghis´ own famous excavations at
Salamis and Kition and his unrivalled scholarly production...
Portrait of a Priestess: Women and Ritual in Ancient Greece Joan Breton Connelly Princeton University Press, 2007, ISBN-10: 0691127468, pp.456, h/b, d/j, CY£28.30 In this sumptuously illustrated book, Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A.D., she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins, how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood, and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed, the political power they wielded, their systems of patronage and compensation, and how they were honored, including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private, sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity, taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood.

Nicola Schreiber Brill, Leiden - Boston, 2003, Culture and History of the Ancient Near East Volume 13, ISBN: 9004128549, pp. 409, h/b, CY£60.90 For almost a century scholars have been perplexed by Cypro-Phoenician (or Black-on-Red) pottery. In this major study, Dr. Schreiber’s research, coupled with her own work in the field, resolves the pottery’s origin and provides a fresh assessment of the chronology of the region. Transporting perfumed oil around the Mediterranean and Near East, the pottery offers valuable clues to Iron Age trade - shipping, cargoes, and trading entrepots. Dr Schreiber investigates the sources of perfumed oil and the relative roles of Cyprus and Phoenicia in trade to the Aegean islands. The book provides archaeologists and historians with a work of key significance in unravelling the human narrative of the early centuries of the 1st millennium BC. Nicola Schreiber, Ph.D. (2000) in Archaeology, University of Oxford, has excavated in the Near East and Mediterranean and published and lectured on Black-on-Red pottery in the UK and United States. She is currently based at the Museum of London.

What I want to do in it is use written records to explore the intractable .subject of Cypriote ethnicity during the long period of ea. 1,300 years (1500-200 B.C.F.,) when the inhabitants of the island of Cyprus used writing systems unique to themselves among the developed cultures of the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, and the Near and Middle East. This is a remarkable phenomenon, given how central the island of Cyprus and its resources were within international economic and geopolitical systems over this span of time. In and of itself, it speaks to a tierce need among inhabitants of the island to assert their own identity.” (1.a. Purpose by Thomas Palaima)

A galaxy of prominent prehistorians traces themes and topics from the Levant to Spain, enabling the reader to acquire a sense of the shape of prehistory across the whole of this extraordinary space." Robin Osborne, University of Cambridge “Blake and Knapp's volume demonstrates that new approaches to the Mediterranean, taking as central concerns the nature of culture and cultural heritage, are breathing new life into studies of that region." Chris Gosden, Oxford University This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the archaeology of Mediterranean prehistory. Its case studies, spanning the Neolithic through the Iron Age, are drawn from all the Mediterranean's major lands, coasts, and islands. Written by fourteen of the leading archaeologists in the field, The Archaeology of Mediterranean Prehistory presents diverse theoretical approaches that enable students as well as other archaeologists to see the benefits of multivocality. The chapters look beyond Mediterranean diversity toward common links based on social interaction and geography. The book also includes an introductory overview that situates this work in wider Mediterranean scholarship and offers new insights into the histories and cultures of ancient Mediterranean peoples.

This significant period of the island's past is examined in three parts. The first surveys what is known about the local population of Cyprus and the political and social organization of the island. The second offer a narrative account of the period within a chronological framework more detailed than any analysis currently available. It suggests that the defining feature of the Cypro-Archaic period was the way in which local kingdoms adapted to different political and economic conditions in the Near East and Egypt, and took advantage of them. It challenges the prevalent view of a succession of foreign overlords controlling the island through military means. The third part discusses the internal and external relations of Cyprus by studying specific groups of pottery, seals, and sculpture. As a whole, this book provides a more complete picture of Archaic Cyprus than ever previously attempted. Generously illustrated with plates and figures, this will be an invaluable work of reference for archaeologists and ancient historians of both the West and Near East. A. T.

The volume contains fifteen papers. Ten of them record the genesis and the development of archaeological survey in Cyprus; they also discuss the reasons why the twentieth century ended with serious set-backs in the protection of cultural landscapes, despite the fact that in Cyprus survey was conducted in the name of archaeological resource management as early as 1955. The credit for this accomplishment goes to Hector Catling, who had envisioned the island-wide Cyprus Survey Project, and was instrumental in establishing the Survey Branch in the Cyprus Department of Antiquities. The 'biographies' of eight very different projects offer a representative sample of survey archaeology in Cyprus in the last quarter of the 20th century. The inclusion of four geographically and methodologically diverse projects from Israel, Libya, Italy and Greece provide a trans-Mediterranean perspective against which survey archaeology in Cyprus can be measured. The keynote paper (John Cherry) brings the Mediterranean and the local projects closer together and gives substance to a multifaceted dialogue, which extends from visibility and the degree of isomorphism between surface and sub-surface remains, to the links between regional survey projects and cultural heritage management.

Before History: From the Earliest Settlers to the End of the Bronze Age. Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, and lies at the nexus of many important ancient trade routes, from Asia Minor to Africa, from Persia, Assyria and other great eastern powers to Italy and Greece. In antiquity the island was famed for its great wealth, not only from trade but also from its natural resources of copper as well as wine and olive oil. Recent excavations in Cyprus have radically altered our understanding of the earliest prehistory of the island. In this new appraisal Louise Steel explores the archaeological evidence for human occupation on Cyprus from the earliest hunter-gatherers and the first farming communities to the end of the Bronze Age. She examines major issues that dominate current research on Cypriot prehistory: island colonisation; population migrations; the interpretation of figured art; the emergence of social complexity; and the shift from isolation in earlier prehistory to a position at the centre of Mediterranean trade. Cyprus Before History presents a social history of ancient Cyprus, exploring ways of life and death, changing farming practices and diet, social customs, early belief systems, and interaction with the Cypriot landscape and the wider Mediterranean.

chronological chart, bibliography, CY£80 An ambitious exhibition – shown in Athens in 2003 - that attempts a new approach to the life of the peoples and civilisations of the Mediterranean naturally needs to be preserved for posterity in an equally ambitious catalogue. This is it, packed with a staggering amount of information in small print, drawings, maps and photographs of objects and sites by distinguished archaeologists from Cyprus to Huelga.

p/b, large format, numerous black and white & colour illustrations, CY£30 Scholars from around the world, specialising in this crucial period of one thousand years in the Mediterranean, from the beginning of the Late Bronze Age to the Archaic period, congregated for an international conference in Crete in 2002.

preface, introduction and 9 lectures, p/b, CY£15.00 The focus of the international symposium held in October 2002 in New York, which gave birth to the present book, was the spreading of Greek culture beyond its native boundaries from the middle of the 2nd millenium to the period of Alexander the Great.The Greeks beyond the Aegean has been a scholarly research topic for many years, again brought into the limelight following the destruction of the Buddha statues in Afghanistan, the plundering of Greek remains in Ai Khanum and the looting of the archaeological museum in Kabul. Once more, scholars are called upon to examine fresh ideas and new perspectives, placing issues within their proper dimensions in the light of new discoveries. Edited

The authors give an account of the challenge they faced in their attempt to gain a better understanding of Early Cypriot culture, their interdisciplinary and environmental approach, the nature of interregional exchange, as well as the development and status of Early Cypriot lithic, ceramic and metal technologies.

Diane Bolger and Nancy Serwint, eds. CAARI Monographs volume 3, , h/b, large format, pp.457, £55 The conference Engendering Aphrodite, held in Nicosia in March 1998, provided the opportunity for a wide community of international scholars to explore the changing traditions and definitions of gender in Cypriot society from Neolithic times to the present day. Their papers on the explication of women’s contributions to art, religion, economy and society, which are included in this volume, are testament to the spirit of collaborative effort and healthy debate that took place, without any preconceived ideas of gender norms. They are also a first step in changing the traditional, male-oriented view of the Cypriot past.

Institute of America, Boston, MA, 2002m, p/b, pp.248, £29 This volume brings together diverse and innovative approaches to the contextual study of Cypriot scripts and seals, fostering a more integrated view of cultural continuities and discontinuities through time and space, and among different methods of recording on Cyprus. These contextual studies are fundamental for understanding social, political, economic and religious aspects of life on Cyprus during the second and first millennia BC.
