The Emergence of Civilisation Revisited

by John C. Barrett

Thirty years on from Colin Renfrew's landmark publication The Emergence of Civilisation a group of Aegean prehistorians came together to acknowledge this ground-breaking work and to bring the subject up to date. Fourteen papers from that meeting, including one from Renfrew himself, examine a fascinating and diverse section of topics, including settlement, leadership and social status. Each contributor makes reference to the contribution of the book to archaeological thought. (Sheffield Studies in Aegean Archaeology 6, Oxbow Books 2005)
