Practices of Personal Adornment in Neolithic Greece

The objective of this book is the reconsideration of the practices of personal adornment during the Neolithic period in Greece, through the assemblage, extensive bibliographic documentation, and critical evaluation of all the available data deriving from more than a hundred sites in the mainland and the Aegean islands.

Fotis Ifantidis studied archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. His academic research is focused on personal adornment practices in prehistory, and on the interplay between photography and archaeology, with case studies the Athenian Acropolis, the ancient city of Kalaureia on the island of Poros, and the Neolithic settlements of Dispilio and Koutroulou Magoula. Among his publications are 'Spondylus in Prehistory' (co-authored with M. Nikolaidou), 'Camera Kalaureia' (co-authored with Y. Hamilakis) and 'Archaeographies: Excavating Neolithic Dispilio'.
