An Archaeological Survey of the Gournia Landscape : A Regional History of the Mirabello Bay, Crete, in Antiquity Hardback
by L. Vance Watrous, Donald Haggis, Krzysztof Nowicki, Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan, Maryanne Schultz
Part of the Prehistory Monographs series
Hardback
Description
A regional survey was undertaken in the central part of the Mirabello Bay area: along the northeastern coast of Crete in the Gournia Valley and the northern half of the Isthmus of Ierapetra, ending in the valley of Episkopi, to provide a regional context for the Bronze Age palace and settlement of Gournia.
As this survey was the last and geographically most central compared to three other surveys (Vrokastro, Pseira, and Kavousi), conducted in the Mirabello region, it ties together the data from all four surveys regarding the environment, population(s), and social organization of an entire region.
Furthermore, this volume goes beyond the survey data to consider, at some length, the evidence from local excavations, so as to provide an in-depth and integrated picture of the regional socio-economic development.
It is meant as a regional archaeological study of the Mirabello Bay area.
