Abstract

The book is the catalogue of the exhibition ‘Across: The Cyclades and Western Anatolia during the 3rd Millennium BC’ which took place at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum (Instanbul) from 24 May until 28 August 2011. The exhibition examined the relations between the civilisations in Western Anatolia and the nearby Cyclades in the Aegean during the third millennium BC, exploring the active interaction between them and revealing the connections and the elements that stand apart. For the first time artifacts from museums with extensive collections, such as the National Museum of Archaeology in Athens and the N. P. Goulandris Foundation Cycladic Art Museum, were shown side by side with findings from Anatolia in Turkish museums. A total of 340 artifacts were displayed in the exhibition. Among the exhibits were the key types of marble Cycladic figurines, spade-shaped figurines (very similar to violin-shaped ones), marble vases, metal weapons and tools, jewels, as well as clay vases such as the well-known ‘frying pans’ with incised decoration, ‘aryballoi’, craterisks, beak-spouted jugs etc.
