'Loy has done admirable and dogged work in aggregating an immense amount of legacy data into new forms that can reinvigorate old debates and introduce new questions about the development of communities and economies in the Archaic Aegean.' Megan Daniels, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Michael Loy's monograph is an innovative and intriguing contribution to the growing body of work using computational methods in archaeology. It takes advantage of the vast - and often unwieldy - datasets produced by more than a century of excavations in Greece … the book has the considerable merit of pointing the way towards new ways of working with old data, and there is no denying that this is a serious and thought-provoking attempt to rethink how we study connectivity in early Greece, as well as opening up the debate on how to work with Big Data in our subject. It asks questions worth grappling with - and reminds us that the big datasets sitting in archaeological archives are not just the residue of past projects, but potential sources for reimagining the field.'
