Early Athens : Settlements and Cemeteries in the Submycenaean, Geometric and Archaic Periods Hardback
by Eirini M. Dimitriadou
Part of the Monumenta Archaeologica series
Hardback
Description
This volume is one of the most important works on ancient Athens in the last fifty years.
The focus is on the early city, from the end of the Bronze Age-ca. 1200 BCE-to the Archaic period, when Athens became the largest city of the Classical period, only to be destroyed by the Persians in 480/479 BCE.
From a systematic study of all the excavation reports and surveys in central Athens, the author has synthesized a detailed diachronic overview of the city from the Submycenaean period through the Archaic.
It is a treasure-trove of information for archaeologists who work in this period.
Of great value as well are the detailed maps included, which present features of ancient settlements and cemeteries, the repositories of the human physical record.
Over eighty additional large-scale, interactive maps are available online to complement the book.
