A Greek State in Formation

"This is a book to be read, not just consulted. Jack Davis is a masterly raconteur whose story simultaneously provides a wide-ranging and accessible guide to what archaeology is all about, a broad account of the Greek Bronze Age, and a detailed evocation of Bronze Age Pylos."--Robin Osborne, Professor of Ancient History, University of Cambridge "Accessibly written, this book will appeal to scholars of the ancient world and those with an interest in archaeology as a discipline, as well as anyone following the media exposure of the exciting new finds at Pylos."--Kim Shelton, Associate Professor of Classics, University of California, Berkeley
