5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent archaeological analysis in an easy-to-read format, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sandy Pylos: An Archaeological History from Nestor to Navarino (Paperback)
In this book, Dr. Davis and his contributors bring to the general public the cultural omplexities of a region in Greece in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format. From the introduction and discussion of archaeological methods to the individual chapters outlining particular facets of research or particular chronological periods, the reader is taken on a journey into the world of modern regional studies. As opposed to other books that deal with archaeological subjects, Dr. Davis et al. treat the region of Messenia as a continuum, giving no shrift to any period of history, treating all equally well. The book is well illustrated and photographed. Overall, this is an excellent book for the avocational archaeologist, for classroom use and for those archaeologists for whom Greek archaeology is not their forte.
