Description: "For fifty years Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology (SIMA) has provided an essential service to archaeologists. Several hundred volumes of specialist studies, site reports and museum catalogues have appeared, almost all under the guiding hand of the founding editor and proprietor, the late Professor Paul Åström. Members of the SIMA Editorial and Advisory boards here contribute with essays covering various aspects of the SIMA series and related issues in Cypriot and Eastern Mediterranean studies. The volume is a form of festschrift to the SIMA monograph series after a half-century of publications. A list of all SIMA and SIMA PB volumes with indexes to authors and general subjects is included, which may serve as a helpful guide to the diverse range of sites and material included in the two series."--Publisher's website.
Notes: Festschrift honoring the 50th anniversary of the publication Studies in Mediterranean archaeology.
