“This remarkable book does precisely what its title suggests: it
provides an account of the archaeology of Mediterranean prehistory
that treats the Mediterranean as a single unit. A galaxy of
prominent prehistorians traces themes and topics from the Levant to
Spain, enabling the reader to acquire a sense of the shape of
prehistory across the whole of this extraordinary space.” Robin
Osborne, University of Cambridge
“Blake and Knapp’s volume demonstrates that new approaches to the
Mediterranean, taking as central concerns the nature of culture and
cultural heritage, are breathing new life into studies of that
region.” Chris Gosden, University of Oxford
