Medieval and post-medieval ceramics in the eastern Mediterranean - fact and fiction

Joanita Vroom

The focus in this varied collection of studies by key scholars in the field is on the material culture (especially ceramics) of the eastern Mediterranean during Medieval and Post-Medieval times. The scope of the contributions encompasses archaeological remains of the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic World, the Crusader States, the Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire. The volume offers a state of the art of an often still hardly known territory in archaeology, which makes it essential reading for scholars and a larger audience alike.
