Book Synopsis Thera in the Bronze Age by : Phyllis Young Forsyth
Book excerpt: The ongoing excavation at Akrotiri, on the volcanic island of Thera, which lies 100 kilometers north of Crete, continues to yield information about the civilization of the Aegean Bronze age (3000-1100 BC). Forsyth (classical studies, U. of Toronto) discusses ancient Thera in terms of its geography, history, society, city life, relations with Crete, and the violent eruption that buried the buildings of Akrotiri under mounds of volcanic debris. Includes numerous small maps of archeological sites. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
