    About this ebook

    Akrotiri, Santorini History and Environment. Akrotiri, Santorini, Dhekelia And Ancient Settlement The excavations at Akrotiri have uncovered one of the most important prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. The first habitation at the site dates from the Late Neolithic times (at least the 4th millennium BC). During the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC), a sizeable settlement was founded and in the Middle and early Late Bronze Age (ca. 20th-17th centuries BC) it was extended and gradually developed into one of the main urban centers and ports of the Aegean. The large extent of the settlement (ca. 20 hectares), the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storeyed buildings with the magnificent wall-paintings, furniture and vessels, show its great development and prosperity

      There are problems with lack of clarity over the name Akrotiri, apparently present in both Santorini/Thira and Cyprus but extremely confused in the text. Repetition is also unnecessary with multiple accounts of the volcanic destruction. Poor editing. Images of the frescoes would be helpful.
