Description
This book traces the archaeological history of Pylos and surrounding regions in Messenia from the Palaeolithic to the present. Designed as much for general readers and travelers interested in ancient Greece as for scholars, the volume presents the findings of the Pylos Regional Archaeological Project (PRAP), which has intensively studied the region over the past 15 years. The 1998 edition, originally published by the University of Texas Press and widely used as a textbook in undergraduate classes, is reprinted with a new preface assessing PRAP's impact and outlining new discoveries in the region.

Reviews
Ten years on, SP is still a good read, a splendid introduction to the pre-modern southwestern Peloponnese... that proves history of several sorts can be written without the aid (or crutch?) of a privileged ancient narrative.' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review
