[books 2010] The Cambridge Companion to the Aegean Bronze Age
38. The Cambridge Companion to the Aegean Bronze Age ediged by Cythia W Shelmerdine
As recommended by eciklb when I asked about good introductions to the subject.
The Dummies Guide this isn't, but I found it relatively smooth sailing and really interesting. Instead of just banging on about the pottery as many archaeology books do, it explains what different developments in pottery meant in terms of how it was being used and therefore developments in society. Cool.
I come away slightly embarrassed that I had no idea of the huge gap in time between the Minoan & Mycenean civilisations and classical Greece.
