"Despite such conservatism, the book manages to keep an essential balance between the detail of the archaeological material and the grand picture of socio-historical phenomena. It shifts between different spatial and temporal scales smoothly and it is certainly recommendable to any student wishing to introduce her/himself to Greek archaeology." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 7 November 2011)

"Christopher Mee's Greek Archaeology is a thoroughly contemporary and innovative overview, which I recommend warmly to students from the sixth form to their sixties (and later) as an excellent introduction to the subject . . . This is a book for all who want to start to understand the whole of the glory that was Greece from its material culture. It also has good illustrations." (The Anglo-Hellenic Review, 1 September 2011)
 

"A remarkable sweep through seven millennia of Greek archaeology. No other book lays out so clearly and concisely the changes in ancient Greek life between Neolithic and Hellenistic times."
Ian Morris, Stanford University

 

"Mee's novel approach to surveying six millennia of ancient Greek material culture chronologically by way of nine carefully chosen and sequenced themes results in a refreshingly different appreciation of what are the enduring traditions versus the relatively abrupt changes in direction of Hellas' rich archaeological record."
Jeremy Rutter, Dartmouth College

“The chronological and geographical breadth of this clearly written book, together with the case-study approach, make this an ideal first introduction to the questions and the material studied in Greek archaeology.”
Robin Osborne, Cambridge University
