Summary

This monograph focuses on the Aceramic Neolithic of Cyprus, and addresses three key theoretical topics; memory, death and landscape. Sites dating from the initial colonisation of the island (the Akrotiri phase) through to Khirokitia and its contemporaries, are contextualised within their spatial and temporal settings, and are presented here taking into consideration recent theoretical developments in archaeology and anthropology. This monograph covers what have traditionally been seen as three distinctive periods: the Akrotiri phase, the Early Aceramic Neolithic and the Late Aceramic Neolithic (sometimes referred to as the Khirokitian). Contents: Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Literature Review; Chapter 3: Setting the Scene; Chapter 4: The Aceramic Neolithic of Cyprus; Chapter 5: The Enigma of Insularity; Chapter 6: Ways of Living¿; Chapter 7: Ways of Dying; Chapter 8: Lest We Forget¿; Chapter 9: Conclusions.
