Description
‘The remains of nearly 8,000 years of human history lie in the soil of Cyprus, remains that have stimulated the interest and curiosity of historians and archaeologists for over a hundred years…’
Ancient Cyprus provides a concise introduction to the history and archaeology of the island with all phases, from the Neolithic until the Middle Ages under the Venetians and Turks, illustrated from objects in the Ashmolean Museum’s collections. Eight pages of outline drawings record the development of Cypriot pottery from the Bronze Age to the Roman period. First published in 1975, this reprint includes an updated bibliography and additions to the Index of Excavated Material.
