The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Divided into four sections, the handbook begins with Background and Definitions, which contains articles establishing the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section, Chronology and Geography, contains articles examining the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period (Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age). Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section, Thematic and Specific Topics, includes articles examining thematic topics that cannot be done justice in a strictly chronological/geographical treatment, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section, Specific Sites and Areas, contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean.
Containing new work by an international team of experts, The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean represents the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date single-volume survey of the field. It will be indispensable for scholars and advanced students alike.

Undertaken with the assistance of the institute for Aegean Prehistory
I would like to thank Stefan Vranka at Oxford University Press for approaching me and suggesting this volume, as well as Brian Hurley and Deirdre Brady at OUP and Rachel Navarro at George Washington University for their assistance throughout, and particularly Keith Faivre at OUP for his heroic efforts during the editing and typesetting phases. Kim Shelton and other scholars provided helpful suggestions concerning the initial proposal. I would also like to thank all of the contributors to this volume for their prompt submissions and relative adherence to the word and illustration limits so that this could appear on schedule and in a timely manner. We are all very grateful to Philip Betancourt, Karen Vellucci, and the Institute of Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) for a publication subvention that allowed us to include all of the contributions that appear here. Many of the individual contributors wish to thank various colleagues and associates for reading and commenting upon their contributions, sharing unpublished materials, and providing other types of assistance; since space limitations preclude including such acknowledgements after each contribution, a general round of thanks to all involved is issued here.
