A report on excavations at the Neolithic-Early Bronze Age site of Servia in Thessaly. The main part of the report deals with the rescue excavation carried out in 1971-73 prior to the flooding of the dam, and also reflcts on earlier investigations in the early-mid 1900s by J.B. Wace, M.S. Thompson and W.A. Heurtley. Sections are given on the stratigraphy of the site, which includes five successive building levels, chronology, small finds and the environmental evidence. Includes a CD-Rom with colour photographs of aspects of the site and small finds. A separate forthcoming volume will deal with the Neolithic pottery in detail.

This introduction to the Mycenaean world brings together the latest research on its history and on the real Bronze Age cities that lie behind the Homeric legends. Economy and society, technology and trade, burials and buildings, warfare and religion are all explored to reveal the character and achievements of this brilliant forerunner of Classical Greece.

Archaeology has progressed enormously since the early excavations of classical sites such as Olympia and Ephesus in the middle of the 19th century. New methods and modern techniques, which depend on the rigorous application of skills from a wide range of disciplines, now offer a better perspective on the material culture of the classical world. This book combines explanation of methods and techniques with case studies of particular sites which demonstrate different themes in, and approaches to, classical archaeology. It examines principles and methods including prospecting, excavation, dating, stratigraphy and presentation, alongside an account of the development of Classical archaeology (for example, as in the work of famous pioneers such as Evans and Schliemann) to the more scientific approaches used in contemporary projects. Written by a group of active field archaeologists, this book demonstrates the progression of a project from planning and prospection, through excavation and study to interpretation and public presentation. It also provides links to a wide range of internet resources to enable students to follow through case studies of recent survey and excavation ranging in time from the Bronze Age to the early Byzantine, and in extent from Britain to Turkey.
