Abstract

This book examines ‘architecture’ as key media for analysing socio-cultural narratives in prehistoric Cyprus and exploring the formation, reproduction and development of early Cypriot communities. In particular, the volume aims at moving beyond the classification of architectural forms and functions and exploring the social, ideological, economic and political transformations that characterised Cypriot prehistory from the Late Aceramic Neolithic until the advent of the Late Bronze Age (7000/6800‑1750/1700 cal BC) by using architectural evidence as the focal analytical dataset.
