Cyprus Before the Bronze Age: Art of the Chalcolithic Period

by Vassos Karageorghis, Edgar J. Peltenburg

The latest finds--architectural remains, burial objects, stone artifacts, pottery, and copper objects--from recent excavations indicate that Cyprus played a more pivotal role in pre-Bronze Age socioeconomic development than was previously thought. This book describes findings from excavations
at Lemba, the site where the most important new information about this period has been uncovered. Included are illustrations of many previously unpublished or unexhibited materials from both the Cyprus Museum and the J. Paul Getty Museum. This book serves as a catalog to the February 1990
exhibition held at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
