Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus

"This book presents a new island archaeology and island history of Bronze Age and early Iron Age Cyprus. Drawing out tensions between different ways of thinking about islands, insularity and connectivity, it addresses a dynamic new field of archaeological enquiry - the social identity of prehistoric and protohistoric Mediterranean islanders. In treating issues such as ethnicity, migration, and hybridization, it offers an up-to-date theoretical analysis of the relevant archaeological data. In using historical documents tore-present the Cypriot past, it also provides an integrated archaeological and socio-historical synthesis of insularity and identity on the Mediterranean's third largest island."--BOOK JACKET.Knapp, A.
