The Archaeology of Medieval Greece by Peter Lock, G. D. R. Sanders (Editor), Guy Sanders (Editor)

From the Publisher

Medieval archaeology in the Aegean is still very much at the stage of discovery and record. Much of its results are provisional and the great issues revolve around the nature and extent of Latin-Byzantine social and cultural contacys, the use and adaptation of existing Byzantine monuments by Latins and the meaning of the term 'Frankish' in terms of materialculture and its consequences for Levantine commerce. The essays in this book report on the results of recent research into medieval castles, churches and fortifications, village sites and settlements.

Booknews

A dozen self-standing essays illustrate the present status of the field. They discuss such current issues as the Frankish countryside in central Greece, the Dominican church of Saint Sophia at Andravida, some village fortifications in the Venetian Peloponnese, whether the towers of Euboea are Lombard or Venetian and agrarian or strategic, and two Kastra on Melos and their relations in the Archipelago. Most are well illustrated with drawings, diagrams, and black-and-white photographs. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
