Continuing the documentation of the excavation at the Minoan and Greek seaside town of Kommos in Crete, Volume III of this series focuses on the Minoan and imported pottery from the Late Bronze Age. Not only does this work offer the most thorough presentation of stratified Late Minoan pottery of any site on Crete, it also exhibits the widest range of imported pottery of any excavated site in the Aegean. Imported from other regions of Crete, the Aegean islands, the Greek Mainland, Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Sardinia, this pottery reveals new international trade connections around the Mediterranean during the seventeenth through the thirteenth centuries B.C. The volume begins with a presentation of the stratified ceramic deposits, then discusses the Late Minoan stylistic sequence at Kommos, comparing it to that at Knossos and other centers. Finally the book documents the imported Late Bronze pottery at the site and discusses Eastern Mediterranean trade during the period in light of this new evidence.

An International Port of the Late Bronze Age,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kommos III. The Late Bronze Age Pottery (Hardcover)
This volume represents the report on the pottery found in the Late Bronze (Late Helladic) levels of the excavation of the site of Kommos, in southern Crete. In this volume, Dr. Watrous present a lucid and well-written discussion of the various types of pottery, both the local Minoan and the various types of imported wares. The particular importance of this report lies in the picture it enables one to paint of the far-reaching cultural and trade contacts between the different cultures in the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean, such as the Myceneaen, Minoan, Egyptian, Canaanite, Anatolian and other cultures. Without a doubt, this report will serve as one of the basic books in the field of Late Bronze Age Mediterranean archaeology in the years to come.
