What did everyday domestic life in towns and villages in the Cyclades in medieval and post-medieval Greece look like? Using primary archaeological data gathered by the Cyclades Research Project, the author identifies, amongst other things, settlement layout—which included fortified settlements and undefended nucleated villages; domestic buildings, such as housing of urban character, peasant housing, and farmsteads; ceramics, specifically locally produced and imported glazed tableware; built structures and mobile fittings; and clothing.

“Vionis’s new work … brings together an entirely new way of observing and understanding the archaeology and history of the Greek islands. For the first time it is now possible to achieve a genuine perspective from the recent past to antiquity and to recognise the diversive cultural richness of the Byzantine, Frankish and Ottoman eras.”
