Περίληψη (στα Αγγλικά)

The main scope of this book is to demonstrate the extent of the Cypriote influence on Crete during the Iron Age, both with regard to the import of goods, especially pottery and also the degree of influence which Cypriote objects, again mainly pottery, exercised on Cretan artistic production. We also include Phoenician vases, because these may also have influenced the local pottery shapes and their decoration. We also register as many as possible Cypriote imports of the Bronze Age, though they are far fewer compared with those of the Iron Age, at a time when Cretan influence on Cyprus was much stronger.

By producing a kind of a catalogue raisonné both of imports and imitations we hope to facilitate the students who will in the future undertake more detailed studies. The benefits of having all the material assembled in one publication are obvious, especially with illustrations in colour, which demonstrate more eloquently and clearly the degree of influence of Cypriote pottery on Cretan pottery during the Iron Age. Furthermore, thanks to the generosity of excavators who agreed to collaborate in our project, a considerable quantity of new, mostly hitherto unpublished material, is now available, both imports and imitations.
