Excerpt from �gean Arch�ology: An Introduction to the Arch�ology of Prehistoric Greece N this book I have endeavoured to give as succinctly as possible a general account of the remains of the ancient Aegean civilization of the Bronze Age, the dominant culture of prehistoric Greece, which has been revealed to us by the excavations of Schliemann, Evans, Halbherr, and others, at Mycenae, Knossos, Phaistos, and many other sites in Greece and the Aegean islands, especially Crete, during the last forty years.
