A Lost Mediterranean Culture. The Giant Statues of Sardinia's Mont'e Prama

Faedda, Barbara; Carta, Paolo

Thousands of shattered limestone pieces came to light in 1974 at the Mont’e Prama site in western Sardinia. They have been reassembled into dozens of striking, colossal statues that reward close study by archaeologists, historians, conservators, and restorers. The giant statues and the individual tombs in this monumental necropolis—sculpted by a powerful Mediterranean civilization—make Mont’e Prama a uniquely rich representation of a culture’s values and traditions in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The associated file contains the Cover, Back Cover, Table of Contents, and Introduction.
