About This Item
New York: Biblio and Tannen, 1964. Hardcover. Near fine. ...a brief survey of the Neolithic stage and of the Early Minoan phases, followed by an account of the Palace in the Middle Minoan Age." This is the first in a seven volume work (four volumes in six, plus the index). Evans (1851-1941) was a British archaeologist who excavated the ruins of the ancient city of Knossos in Crete and uncovered evidence of a sophisticated Bronze Age civilization, which he named Minoan. His work was one of archaeology's major achievements and greatly advanced the study of European and eastern Mediterranean prehistory. Thick quarto: xxiv, 721 p. with 542 figures in the text, plans, tables, coloured and supplementary plates. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt stamping. Tiny bit of rubbing along the extremities of the boards; else near fine.
