DF220.O946 2010 939.'101—dc22 2009014131 Undertaken with the assistance of the institute for Aegean Prehistory ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Stefan Vranka at Oxford University Press for approaching me and suggesting this volume, as well as Brian Hurley and Deirdre Brady at OUP and Rachel Navarro at George Washington University for their assistance throughout, and particularly Keith Faivre at OUP for his heroic efforts during the editing and typesetting phases. Kim Shelton and other scholars provided helpful suggestions concerning the initial proposal. I would also like to thank all of the contributors to this volume for their prompt submissions and relative adherence to the word and illustration limits so that this could appear on schedule and in a timely manner. We are all very grateful to Philip Betancourt, Karen Vellucci, and the Institute of Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) for a publication subvention that allowed us to include all of the contributions that appear here. Many of the individual contributors wish to thank various colleagues and associates for reading and commenting upon their contributions, sharing unpublished materials, and providing other types of assistance; since space limitations preclude including such acknowledgements after each contribution, a general round of thanks to all involved is issued here.
