| Popis | Věra Klontza-Jaklová’s book is not only an excellent summary of a state of research regarding one of the most discussed and studied issues in Mediterranean prehistory. She does not give an absolute answer to the question when did the volcanic eruption in Santorini happen. But rather she patiently discusses stronger and weaker points of natural sciences and archaeological methods. None of these methods alone can solve the problem and she calls for deeper communication and cooperation between ‘hard’ sciences and archaeology. She also goes beyond ‘traditional’ archaeology and discusses how natural events influence human psychology, communication network and encourages critical thinking. This book is written in an understandable language and represents a solid starting point for further research. |
