Lefkandi IV - The Bronze Age: The Late Helladic IIIC Settlement at Xeropolis (Supplementary Volume No. 39)

This volume describes the settlement of Xeropolis at Lefkandi during the LH IIIC period. Following excavation between 1964 and 1969, a series of interim reports and articles played a pivotal role in revealing the history of this part of the Aegean, as well as supplying much of the early framework for the present division of LH IIIC ceramics. Lefkandi IV now presents a detailed account of the site's three main phases of occupation and many important finds.

An initial chapter sets out the stratigraphical history of LH IIIC Xeropolis as documented in the Main Excavation Area and Trials. This is followed by specialist reports on the pottery, the pictorial pottery, the terracotta figurines and the small finds. Finally a summary of the most important observations emerging from the volume is presented by Susan Sherratt.

A CD-ROM makes available reports on the intramural burials and shells, as well as statistical tables for chosen ceramic contexts and concordances. The entire volume is copiously illustrated with plans, line drawings and photographs.
