Beyond the Cyclades : early Cycladic sculpture in context from mainland Greece, the north and east Aegean / edited by Marisa Marthari, Colin Renfrew, Michael J. Boyd.

"The symposium held in Athens on 'Early Cycladic Sculpture in Context' in May 2014 (now published: Marthari et al. 2017) prompted the organisation of a second symposium, on 25th and 26th May 2015, on the theme 'Early Cycladic Sculpture in Context from beyond the Cyclades: mainland Greece, the north and east Aegean'. In parallel, a separate symposium on 'Cycladica in Crete' was held in Athens in October 2015 (also now published: Stampolidis & Sotirakopoulou 2017). These two symposia aimed systemically to survey the evidence for Cycladic sculpture in arcaheological contexts from beyond the Cyclades. The publication of the present volume, in combination with the two volumes that have preceded it, brings to completion the work of publishing all the contextualised Cycladic material from the Aegean"--Preface.
