Edited by Dominique Garcia, Raphaël Orgeolet, Maia Pomadère & Julian Zurbach Oxford 2019

Country in the City. Agricultural Functions in Protohistoric Urban Settlements (Aegean and Western Mediterranean) The existence of an opposition between rural and urban spaces is an important question for our societies, and one that has been posed since the radical transformations of the 20th century and the so-called ‘end of the peasants’. In this context it becomes also a question for archaeologists and historians.

Beyond Cyclades. Early Cycladic Sculpture in Context from Mainland Greece, the North and East Aegean This second volume on Early Cycladic (and Cycladicising) sculptures found in the Aegean, examines finds from mainland Greece, along with the rarer items from the north and east Aegean, with the exception of those discovered in the Cyclades (covered in the preceding volume), and of those found in Crete. The significance of these finds is that these are the principal testimonies of the influence of the Early Bronze Age Cycladic cultures in the wider Aegean.

Laerke Recht Cambridge 2019
