GENERAL STUDIES AND CHRONOLOGY

This is perhaps the most loosely defined section in the bibliography. I have gathered here general reference works that are relevant to the study of Cypriote sculpture. This includes discussions of absolute and relative chronology, as well as stylistic analyses. As is often the case, some specialized studies on a particular theme or object seem relevant to the bigger picture and have been included.  You will also find general references to bronze sculpture in Cyprus. References are found within the context of larger discussions of Greek and/or Near Eastern sculpture or in more specific discussions on the art of Cyprus.
