Late Minoan III Pottery

About the book

Late Minoan III Pottery presents a full discussion of the current research in Late Bronze Age III pottery in Crete. The contributors to this volume of twelve essays are archaeologists presently studying LM III pottery, preferably from stratified excavations in the significant LM settlements and tombs of Crete, as well as scholars who have already published their findings.

This volume presents new, unpublished material from important excavations in Crete. Also included is an invaluable ten-page chart organizing the names, with line drawings, of the 78 prevailing vase types of the period.
