'This book's great contribution is an up-to-date survey of the literature and regional archaeological evidence, and serious examination of much of the received wisdom on the dynamics of acculturation... the choice of focus and regions, and engagement with comparative method and theoretical perspective, makes Hodos's book a timely and very useful study, one that is not afraid to tackle important issues and opens new vistas.' - Carla Antonaccio, Antiquity
'This book is a welcome contribution in an area where theoretical developments have recently outpaced archaeological syntheses, and the book provides an excellent overview of the cultural ferment of Iron Age colonial contexts.' – Adam Rabinowitz, Bryn Mawr Classical Revie

She has certainly succeeded in making me rethink the Early Helladic period.' Daniel J. Pullen (Florida State University) American Journal of Archaeology
