Trinacria, 'An Island Outside Time' International Archaeology in Sicily

Edited by Christopher Prescott (University of Oslo), Arja Karivieri (Stockholm University), Peter Campbell (cranfield University), Kristian Göransson (University of Gothenburg) and Sebastiano Tusa Collaborative papers discuss Sicily in the Bronze Age to Roman period. Trinacria, the ancient name for Sicily extending back to Homeric Greek, has understandably been the focus of decades of archaeological research. These articles explore its varied history, focusing on the period from the Archaic through to the Roman period, but diachronic studies also trace lines back to the Stone Age and up to the contemporary era.
