Οι μελέτες για την παραγωγή χαλκού και μπρούντζου στον πρωτοϊστορικό αιγαιακό κόσμο ασχολούνται γενικά με τα μεταλλικά αντικείμενα εις βάρος των εργαλείων του χαλκουργού: χοάνες, συστήματα αερισμού και μήτρες. Η μελέτη τους όμως προσφέρει νέες πληροφορίες τόσο για τις τεχνικές παραγωγής ενός μεταλλικού αντικειμένου και για την εξέλιξή τους, όσο και για την ύπαρξη τεχνικών παραδόσεων και συγκεκριμένης τεχνογνωσίας των χαλκουργών.

The article deals with furniture and other wooden objects recorded in the Linear Β tablets as well as with the craftsmen specialized in their production. The social implications of these craft activities at Pylos are also discussed.

Discovered in 2002 in the settlement of Thronos Kephala in central-western Crete - usually identified with the predecessor of ancient Sybrita - the clay figured krater presented in this paper displays the oldest scene of armed dance in Greek vase-painting, therefore constituting an outstanding document of the Cretan Early Iron Age.

In recent years the meetings, exhibitions and collections of essays on the phenomenology of the sun imagery in ancient communities have multiplied. Such initiatives include works, usually comprehensive summaries, ranging from protohistoric Europe to the ancient Near East, including in some cases even more distant areas in both space and time.
Transport stirrup jars - so-called because of the shape formed by their handles and false neck - are a common type of Mycenaean pottery: used to transport and store liquid commodities, usually assumed to be olive oil, they are found throughout the central and eastern Mediterranean.
A number of Minoan ritual vessels are inscribed with the so-called ‘libation formula’, a standard set of Linear A (LA) sequences, some of which vary from vessel to vessel. This article contains a comparative investigation into the order of elements in the ‘libation formula’ in an effort to uncover something about Linear A syntax.
L’immense majorité des documents linéaire Β sont des textes comptables. Ils comportent tout naturellement des sommes, c’est-à-dire les résultats des additions de plusieurs nombres. Ces sommes peuvent se présenter de deux manières différentes dans les tablettes.

In texts produced in the palace of Mari, some tablets list as 'Cretan' certain prestigious objects, such as leather goods, weapons and metal vases. Later texts from Ugarit mention Cretan merchants receiving tin in the course of their commercial activities.

The full evidence concerning the MH III-LH I child burial found at Tiryns inside the Unterburg (LXV 38/62) is here presented and thoroughly discussed. The grave goods include personal objects and drinking vessels; the presence of MH, matt painted miniaturistic vessels together with a wheel-made askos decorated with LH motifs and technique is emphasized.
Είναι γνωστό ότι οι «βουβές» –αλλά στην πραγματικότητα «ομιλούσες»– εικόνες που μας διέσωσε η πλούσια αιγαιακή εικονογραφία της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού αποτέλεσαν έως τώρα τη μοναδική κατηγορία υποστηρικτικού πληροφοριακού υλικού στις όποιες προσπάθειές μας να «ανασυνθέσουμε» τις μινωικές θρησκευτικές τελετουργίες.
The Early Minoan tholos tomb at Krasi, thanks to the published stratigraphic data, provides a fertile ground for a narrative perspective on its sedimented sequences. It becomes feasible to trace the way the monument developed in time, spanning from its foundation in EMI to its last traced use in EMIII/MMΙA.

The performance of funerary ritual is one of the hallmarks of the Mycenaean period. The materiality and performative aspects have often been lost in typologies and classificatory approaches concerned with the identity and status of the dead.
The pottery studied and presented here is both from Nikolaos Platon’s rescue excavation in 1961 and A. Karetsou’s and G. Rethemiotakis’s excavation in 1990. During the first period the excavator was able to locate three walls of a perivolos and concentrated on cleaning the prominent rock that protruded on one side of the perivolos and served as its west wall.
