I am happy to announce that the edited volume Exotica in the prehistoric Mediterranean is now out.

This volume was ideated after a successful session that I organised at the 13th meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, Zadar, Croatia. All papers have been peer reviewed and checked for quality (including proof reading). As editor, I wrote some interstitial texts to group and bridge the papers, so that readers can follow a single narrative cover to cover or access any contribution independently. The type of contributions make it suitable for both students and researchers. It is possible to treat the papers as advanced studies of exotica using a broad selection of methodological approaches and interests as you would expect from a reader for students or as an up to date summary of recent research by leading researchers. I am particularly happy to note the international character of the volume, with contributors based in 11 countries.

The volume is relatively compact at 216 pages, including 8 colour tables, and is priced to make it accessible to as many as possible. I expect it to be available in many academic libraries across the world in the coming months.
