The Greek Bronze Age, roughly 3000 to 1000 BCE, witnessed the flourishing of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, the earliest expansion of trade in the Aegean and wider Mediterranean Sea, the development of artistic techniques in a variety of media, and the evolution of early Greek religious practices and mythology. The period also witnessed a violent conflict in Asia Minor between warring peoples in the region, a conflict commonly believed to be the historical basis for Homer's Trojan War. The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean provides a detailed survey of these fascinating aspects of the period, and many others, in sixty-six newly commissioned articles. Divided into four sections, the handbook begins with Background and Definitions, which contains articles establishing the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section, Chronology and Geography, contains articles examining the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period (Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age). Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section, Thematic and Specific Topics, includes articles examining thematic topics that cannot be done justice in a strictly chronological/geographical treatment, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section, Specific Sites and Areas, contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean.Containing new work by an international team of experts, The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean represents the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date single-volume survey of the field. It will be indispensable for scholars and advanced students alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a picture book but encyclopedic information of eastern Mediterranean archaeology.
Reviewed in Australia on 26 October 2019
Verified Purchase
Mostly like.
Well organised into chapters dense with information and evidence.
Only monochrome images and maps (maybe the immensely more expensive hardcover has got all the colour but this is so much more serious than a coffee table job).
Full of so much that I didn't know but wanted to having visited some sites. Expands my bucket list exponentially.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... material of the book then it obviously is a bad book. How narcissistic
Reviewed in the United States on 27 August 2014
Verified Purchase
The two-star review of this book suggests that since the reviewer did not understand the material of the book then it obviously is a bad book. If you're not prepared to read books then don't review them. In fact this is a very fine reference work on all the important aspects of Aegean cultures in the period ~2000 to ~1200 BC. It includes the work of many prominent scholars working in this field and it is as up-to-date as a book of this kind can be. In particular I recommend the clear and comprehensive review of the controversy over the dating of the eruption of the Thera volcano by Sturt W. Manning.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent resource
Reviewed in Canada on 24 June 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the Bronze Age Aegean. Not only are there comprehensive general overviews, but there are also many papers addressing specific topics of interest, all written by the world's leading experts. I will use this book for my class on Aegean Prehistory.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is readable.
Reviewed in the United States on 22 June 2019
Verified Purchase
This work succeeds in gathering summaries by excellent of most significant Bronze Age Aegaean topics. The hard part of such a work is the cutting, reducing the number of topics and how much is debited to each. This work meets the need for a solid general summary of the BAA.
