Antoniadou (curator, Pierides Foundation, Athens, Greece) and Pace (Superintendent

of Cultural Heritage, Malta) edit essays culled from a 2005 conference on the prehistory, history, and heritage management of the Mediterranean. Academic and practicing contributors from Greece, the UK, Germany, Italy, Australia, the United States, Malta, Spain, and the Netherlands provide 30 essays in six loosely-themed sections: Mediterranean paradigms and the "Mediterranean" idea as an analytical tool in the assessment of archaeological research; major cultural transformations that occurred during the second half of the third millennium BCE in the Aegean, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and Malta; techno-cultural innovation and the transfer of ideas resulting from regional interaction; the use and consumption of imports in local societies as part of mortuary and non-mortuary assemblages; historical periods in the Mediterranean; and the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean world of heritage. This title is entirely published in English. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
