The significance of these finds is that these are the principal testimonies of the influence of the Early Bronze Age Cycladic cultures in the wider Aegean. This influence is shown both by the export of sculptures produced in the Cyclades (and made of Cycladic marble), and of their imitations, produced elsewhere in the Aegean, usually of local marble. They hold the key, therefore, to the cultural interactions developing at this time, the so-called ‘international spirit’ manifest particularly during the Aegean Early Bronze II period.This was the time when the foundations of early Aegean civilisation were being laid, and the material documented is thus of considerable significance. The volume is divided into sections wherein contributions examine finds and their archaeological, social, and economic contexts from specific regions. It concludes with an overview of the significance and role of these objects in Early Bronze Age societies of the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean region. This will be the first time that this material has been systematically gathered together. Highly illustrated, it follows and builds on the successful preceding volume, Early Cycladic Sculpture in Context (Oxbow 2016).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll papers are well illustrated, and the commendable practice of showing all figurine illustrations at a common scale of 1:2 is continued from the previous volumes […] Ultimately, the material presented in this volume adds interestingly to the corpus of soundly documented items [...] * Journal of Greek Archaeology *\u003cbr\u003eAltogether the three conference volumes on early Cycladic sculpture 'in context' are of inestimable value […] For anyone interested in early Cycladic or Cycladic idol sculpture, the book is therefore indispensable. * Gnomon *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of contributors \u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAbbreviations \u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eList of figures \u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eList of tables \u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePreface \u003c\/em\u003e     1 Introduction   \u003cem\u003eColin Renfrew\u003c\/em\u003e  Before the Bronze Age     2 Past in the past: examples of Neolithic figurines from mainland Greece and Early Cycladic anthropomorphic imagery   \u003cem\u003eFanis Mavridis\u003c\/em\u003e  Attica     3 An Early Cycladic figurine from the Acropolis of Athens   \u003cem\u003eLena Papazoglou-Manioudaki\u003c\/em\u003e  Appendix: optical examination of a Cycladic-type marble figurine from the Acropolis and vessels from Makronisos in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens   \u003cem\u003eDimitris Tambakopoulos \u0026amp;
