This course examines the world of the Aegean islands during the 3^rd millenium B.C. Special emphasis is given to the Cyclades, but the neighbouring insular and littoral areas (Northeast Aegean, the coastline of Asia Minor, Attica and Euboea, North Crete) are also examined for a better understanding of the close relations and intense interaction that developed during this period.

Bibliography, images and handouts can be downloaded from eclass: ARCH170. Optional visits to museums and archaeological sites.
