Cyprus in Prehistory

Module description:             

This module reviews recent developments and current thinking on the archaeology of prehistoric Cyprus. Excavations over the past decade have radically altered our perception of the island’s internal development during the prehistoric period, in particular issues of island colonisation and the development of farming strategies. The module aims to introduce the student to the Cypriot archaeological record from the earliest human habitation of the island to the beginning of the Bronze Age, and will critically evaluate the various approaches that have been adopted for interpreting the evidence. It will examine a variety of themes such as island colonisation, early farming communities, the emergence of social complexity, belief systems, external contacts and migration.
