Description

Six articles, one in French, anchor the latest volume in the biannual series devoted to the study of the history and archaeology of the periphery of the Graeco-Roman world. Among their topics are the mastering of iron-working by the peoples of the northern Caucasus in the early Iron Age; stone casting moulds from Colle Madore as evidence of metallurgy in Skanie; evidence from Egyptianizing amulets about Sidonians, Tyrians, and Greeks in the Mediterranean; and the mineralogy, paint composition, and storage products of two archaic casts from Histria. Also includes are notes questioning radiocarbon dates from Iron Age Gordion and describing a rich burial from Mtskheta; discussions of several ongoing questions; and reviews of recent books. There is no index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
