Lo scavo della fornace di H. Triada fu l'ultima 'fatica' militante di Doro Levi. L'indimenticato Maestro lavorava già da qualche anno alla pubblicazione definitiva dello scavo di Festòs, con lunghi soggiorni estivi nei magazzini della Missione italiana.

Despite a broad temporal presence in Egyptian records, the association of the Sherden with another ‘Sea Peoples’ group – the better known and archaeologically-attested Philistines – has led to several assumptions about this people, their culture, and the role they played in the various societies of which they may have been a part.

Public acquisition and display of imported prestige goods was a well-recognized method by which Egyptian and wider Near Eastern rulers established status in their own societies and negotiated their place among royal peers.
The purpose of this research is to verify, in a preliminary form, a sector of the South West wing of the first palace of Phaistos, excavated by D. Levi during the 1950s. This part of the building, which has yielded a substantial number of finds, has always been highly problematic for the interpretation of data.
Ένα από τα πιο ιδιότυπα σχήματα αγγείων της μινωικής εποχής είναι το «κύπελλο κοινωνίας». Με τον όρο αυτό χαρακτηρίζεται ένας τύπος κυπέλλου με βαθύ κωνικό δοχείο και διακρινόμενο, συνήθως κυλινδρικό, πόδι, που προσομοιάζει, όπως πρώτος παρατήρησε ο Α. Evans, προς τα εκκλησιαστικά δισκοπότηρα (chalices).

While the Bronze Age Culture in Crete is known as the “Minoan Culture” according to Evans, the same culture in the Greek Mainland is called Helladic, that in the Aegean Islands Cycladic and that in Asia Minor Anatolian Culture. In the present work the main focus is put on those mentioned Minoan, Helladic, Cycladic and Anatolian or Hellenic Bronze Age (HBA) cultures.

This paper introduces a new inter-disciplinary and international research project focused on the Palaeolithic site of Rodafnidia on the Greek island of Lesvos, located in the north-eastern Aegean Sea. Rodafnidia, near the village of Lisvori, is less than a kilometre away from the south-western shore of the large Kalloni Gulf.

The first advanced Bronze Age civilization of Europe was established by the Minoans about 5,000 years before present. Since Sir Arthur Evans exposed the Minoan civic centre of Knossos, archaeologists have speculated on the origin of the founders of the civilization.

Artifacts from royal burial graves Gamma and Omicron of grave circle B at Mycenae attest to cultural ties between the Eastern Mediterranean elite and that of the Scandinavian Early Bronze Age (mid- and late 2nd millennium BC).
Tells famously capture the historical sequences of the earliest farmers—but digging them is not easy. With a depth of strata of 17m at Dikili Tash, the earliest occupation was out of reach of a trench.

Hans Lohmann has been an immense inspiration for everyone who wishes to reconstruct the ancient landscapes of Greece and Turkey, with his pioneering explorations of rural Attica and the country hinterland of ancient Miletus.
Συμπληρώνονται φέτος 20 χρόνια από τον θάνατο του Νικολάου Πλάτωνος (1909-1992). Θεώρησα σκόπιμο με την ευκαιρία αυτή, τιμώντας τη μνήμη του, να δημοσιεύσω μία παραλλαγή της ομιλίας που έκανα στο φιλολογικό μνημόσυνο που οργάνωσε παλαιότερα ο Δήμος Ηρακλείου, στην οποία αναφέρθηκα σε μία λιγότερο γνωστή πτυχή της προσφοράς του, αυτή του κλασικού αρχαιολόγου και επιγραφολόγου.
Για την ολοκλήρωση του στεγάστρου του χώρου της προϊστορικής πόλης στο Ακρωτήρι της Σαντορίνης, γίνεται λόγος στην Α΄Τακτική Συνέλευση του 2012 που δημοσιεύεται στο τεύχος τούτο, καθώς και στο Έργον 2011, 36-38 με ωραίες εικόνες. Λόγος έχει γίνει και κατά τα προηγούμενα έτη.
Die sog. minoischen Lustralbassins sind in der ägäischen Bronzezeit nahezu ausschließlich im minoischen Kreta bekannt. Einzig auf der Insel Thera, die bekanntermaßen stark minoisch geprägt war, wurde ein weiterer Raum dieser Art entdeckt. Im mykenischen Griechenland findet sich der Bautypus der Lustralbassins hingegen nirgendwo.

There are two episodes of state formation in the prehistoric Aegean, one at the beginning, the other in the middle of the second millennium BCE. The first states are associated with the appearance of complex structures conventionally called "palaces" on the island of Crete shortly after 2000 BCE (the MM IB phase);
