This study emphasizes the placement and scale of images and how they reveal the development of economic and social control at Kition from its establishment in the thirteenth century BCE until the development of a centralized form of government by the Phoenicians, backed by the Assyrian king, in 707 BCE.

Críticas:

'Perhaps the greatest contribution of this study is the development of a new Iron Age chronology for Cyprus, which has significant implications for the history of early Cyprus and will surely be adopted by future scholars. Although thoroughly grounded in a careful reading of the material record, the book's great strength comes from Smith's ability to contextualize details within the broader historical record by seeking to understand the people and their lives, thoughts and actions.' American Journal of Archaeology

'Joanna Smith's Art and Society in Cyprus from the Bronze Age into the Iron Age is a welcome addition to a growing body of recent major syntheses focusing on the archaeology of Cyprus.' Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research

'... provides the sort of detailed analysis that can furnish a more nuanced understanding of the Bronze Age to Iron Age transition.' Bibliotheca Orientalis
