Editorial Reviews
Review
A superlative work of scholarship and immediately finds a central place among a plethora of major Cycladic studies over the last thirty years ... an essential point of reference for future researches. Burlington Magazine Fully researched, up-to-date, well-organized, clearly written and richly illustrated with a series of drawings, photographs, maps and chronological charts of good quality, this is going to be a useful source of reference for those interested in Aegean prehistory. Antiquity Sherratt's publication is particularly welcome for all scholars and students interested not only in the prehistoric Cyclades but in the prehistoric Aegean in general. This is primarily due to the fact that this book is both a scholarly and accessible survey of the Aegean Late Neolithic and Bronze Age. Antiquity Much more than a catalogue ... This book leaves more than just scholars with something to think about. Anthony Snodgrass, Times Literary Supplement This excellent catalogue ... is a clear, well organised and elegantly written work, thoroughly illustrated in an accompanying volume of plates ... Dr Sherratt's comments indeed form a most interesting essay on the history of collecting and the changing attitudes of dealers and scholars ... deserves to reach an audience wider than the constituency of Cycladic specialists, although for them it will be an essential tool.
