Summary
This textbook provides a history of the artistic output accompanying the development of Aegean civilisations, beginning with the Neolithic (c.7000 bc) and running to the end of the Bronze Age (c.1050/1000 bc). The art objects that are produced vary considerably by both period and region (mainland Greece, the northeast Aegean islands, Cyclades and Dodecanese, Crete); here, for the sake of convenience, they are placed under the general heading ‘Aegean art’.
