Kavousi IV (2-volume set) : The Early Iron Age Cemeteries at Vronda Hardback
by Leslie Preston Day, Maria A. Liston
Part of the Prehistory Monographs series
Hardback
Description
This two-volume set presents the results of the excavation of two cemeteries at the site of Vronda Kavousi in East Crete: the cemetery of tholos tombs belong to the Subminoan to Protogeometric periods (with some use in the eighth century B.C.) and the cemetery of enclosure graves with cremation burials belonging to the Late Geometric to Late Orientalizing periods.
A discussion of individual graves (including the stratigraphy, architecture, human remains, faunal and botanical remains, pottery, and other finds) is followed by the analysis of the cremation process and human remains, the faunal and botanical remains, the pottery, the petrographic analysis of the pottery, the metals and other finds, the burial customs, and the history and society of the burying population.
A study of the capacities of some of the pottery vessels and a metallurgical analysis of the iron objects appear in appendices.
