This volume covers in detail the evidence of colonizations and subsequent adaptations to Sardinia's diverse environments in terms of settlement patterns, craft industries, subsistence economies, mortuary and non-mortuary cult expressions, imagery, art and extra-insular relations with special emphasis of neighboring Corsica, while offering interpretive suggestions. As a study of the frequentation and settling of Sardinia as a locale, a large, insular, west-Mediterranean landmass, by people with non-indigenous heritages, it furthermore locates the island's cultural modalities within the so-called neolithisation of the broader Tyrrhenian region during the sixth- and fifth-millennium.

With one of the richest archaeological records and most complicated histories in the Mediterranean, Sardinia provides an important laboratory for studying the interaction of indigenous societies and outside forces in a partly isolated geographical context. Stephen L. Dyson and Robert J. Rowland, Jr. use both material culture and written documents to reconstruct the social and economic processes of an island society that showed both cultural creativity and continuity but responded to invasions from the Phoenicians through the Romans to the Aragonese. This first accessible reconstruction of island archaeology provides a balanced picture of the sweep of Sardinian history.

The Nuragic 'civilization' of Bronze and Iron Age Sardinia, known for its monumental stone towers, sacred wells and peculiar bronze votive figurines, has long fascinated travellers and archaeologists. Yet only recently have scholars outside the island recognized the potential significance of these unique island societies in the development of broader ancient Mediterranean cultural patterns. One reason has been the relative inaccessibility of recent reference works on the Nuragic evidence. The present Prehistory attempts to remedy the need for a complete and up-to-date synthesis of all extant evidence on Nuragic settlement, technology, economy, trade and ritual. This original interpretation of archaeological, historical and iconographic data constitutes the first modern study of the origins and development of these societies to appear in English.

A fresh look focused on the Neolithic period in southern Corsica and Sardinia through the comparison of the funerary monuments and the recovered artifacts. Short texts supported by many photos shake the certainties established by university theses dealing about the Neolithic Corso-Sardinian or Sardo-Corsican in a common cultural conception. It proves to be, in fact, a powerful cultural and religious antagonism between these two cultures, separated by a short distance through the Strait of Bonifacio, during the Neolithic period. From the 4th millennium BC, the population of the Southern Corsica will develop an original culture and build the largest megalithic statuary of Mediterranean. The author reveals the site of Baldaravita and the hat-shaped stones that are a first discovery of a cultic lithic furniture in southern Corsica which has no equivalent in all other Neolithic cultures, and this globally.

Sardinia preserves an exceptional record of its Final Neolithic and Copper Age cultures, with a diverse crafts repertory, henges and dolmens, statue-menhirs, chamber tombs - and the only known ziggurat in Europe. The present study provides a synthesis in English for a scholarly readership interested in Mediterranean adaptations during this earliest period of metallurgy. As elsewhere, the infusion of metallurgy had profound implications, as island cultures underwent a series of transformations tied directly or indirectly to it. Spanning two millennia, these changes are studied in terms of material cultures known as Ozieri, Sub-Ozieri, Filigosa-Abealzu, Monte Claro and Bell Beaker. A more overarching finding from this review is the periodic engagement between these cultures and geographically distant ones. Such punctuations of the insular condition had long-lasting effects on local expression, and some thoughts on how this might contribute to understandings of concepts like identity formation are presented by way of a conclusion.

Despite Sardinia's extraordinarily rich Neolithic record, very littleof it has made its way into the general European discourse. Written as acompanion to G. Webster and M. Webster, Punctuated Insularity. The Archaeologyof 4th and 3rd Millennium Sardinia. Oxford: BAR International Series 2871,2017, the present volume addresses the omission by offering a synthesis of anarchaeological corpus still little known outside the island. It covers indetail the evidence of colonisations and subsequent adaptations to theSardinia's diverse environments in terms of settlement patterns, craftindustries, subsistence economies, mortuary and non-mortuary cult expressions,imagery, art and extra-insular relations with special emphasis of neighbouringCorsica, while offering interpretive suggestions. As a study of thefrequentation and settling of Sardinia as a locale, a large, insular,west-Mediterranean landmass, by people with non-indigenous heritages, itfurthermore locates the island's cultural modalities within the so-calledneolithisation of the broader Tyrrhenian region during the sixth and fifthmillennia BCE.
