Radiocarbon dating encounters (1) problems of reservoir effects and regional/seasonal variation affecting the chronological reliability of measurements, (2) problems of calibration of measurements via comparison with tree segments of known dendrochronological dates,

Radiocarbon dating at the Tell el-Daba site in the Nile Delta has created an enigma for many years. Despite great efforts, the difference of about 120 yr between the chronology based on 14C dates and the one based on archaeological evidence linked to the Egyptian historical chronology has not been solved.

A series of complex socio-economic changes led to the emergence of the first polities on Crete at the beginning of the 19th c. BCE. The social and political organization of these early political formations was, and still is, the focus of vivid discussion, especially after the integration of relevant theoretical thinking.

The most reliable evidence for the term te-ko-to (τέκτων) is at Knossos and Thebes: at the nominative plural, te-ko-to-ne /tektones/, it is attested in the list of personnel KN Am 826.2, and at the dative plural, te-ka-ta-si /tektasi/ (< "tektasi)

The shape generally used by carvers of Hieroglyphic seals is the prismatic one (with three or four lateral faces). Among the exceptions are the seals with one face, which form a considerable group of twenty-two seals, which will be analyzed elsewhere;

This article originated when R.H.S. drew some of his published and unpublished observations on Laconian topography to the attention of R.J., who had just brought out the final report on the excavations at Ayios Stephanos.

In due brevi lavori, uno dei quali apparso su questa rivista alcuni anni fa, chi scrive aveva proposto una interpretazione della nota punta di lancia in bronzo dalla tomba 6 del cosiddetto Heroon di Eretria, diversa da quella fornita da C. Bérard

The study concerns the question of the existence or not of specialized artisans areas in Geometric Greece. Since it is not possible to present the data from the entire Greek world, the discussion concentrates mostly in the comparison between Attica and Euboea.

This paper is the first step of a common work aiming at a definition of pottery production through consideration of artisanal space and comparison with other kinds of data like technical characteristics of the products or textual sources.
Red hot deposits were uncovered on the western edge of a Middle Neolithic settlement. With the extension of the excavation, a wide space of about 10 m2, confined between two clay ivalls, very much affected by high temperatures, was uncovered
It is generally accepted that the Greek Final Neolithic witnessed many social and economic changes. However, few studies have explored the archaeological material of the period in a systematic and fully contextual manner.
