Abstract

The island of Euboea has always acted as a bridge connecting mainland Greece to the wider Aegean and the Mediterranean world; its archaeological importance was an acknowledged but often understated fact. Euboea, a region with an identity crisis, at the same time considered an island but also a part of the mainland, due to its geographical and cultural proximity, has for millennia played an important role in events that shaped aspects of Greek antiquity. Euboea connects southern and northern Greece, the Cyclades and Thessaly. These complex geographical parameters and historic conditions are expressed in the material archaeological record, which is as rich and varied as one would expect from the second-largest Aegean island.

The aim of the 2013 conference “An Island between Two Worlds: The Archaeology of Euboea from Prehistoric to Byzantine Times” and this resultant book is to shine a light on the significant contribution to scholarship made by colleagues working on Euboea. It is a reader that provides new data as well as reinterpretations of old data within updated paradigmatic and methodological frameworks. For the first time, evidence from the entire island spanning millennia of Euboea’s past, has been collated in one place. This work is intended for professionals in need of reference material as well as for the general reader interested in learning about the past of this region of the Aegean.
