This chapter reports on 29 radiocarbon dates from Middle and Upper Paleolithic layers at Klissoura 1 Cave. All but two of the dates were obtained from material identified as wood charcoal. Both standard ABA and more stringent ABOX pre-treatment protocols were used for charcoal samples. The radiocarbon dates from the Aurignacian of layers Ille-g and IV show general stratigraphic consistency, and fit with published ages from other Aurignacian assemblages in the Balkans.
Klissoura Cave 1 is located in the northeastern edge of the Argive Plain, Peloponnese, at the entrance of the Berbadiotis river gorge. The cave comprises a collapsed cave chamber and a rockshelter area. The stratigraphic analysis and micromorphological study of the sediments elucidated the main processes involved in the formation of the site and its depositional history.
The excavation at Klissoura was planned in 1992, as a joint-project between the Ephoreia of Palaeoanthropology and Speleology of the Ministry of Culture of Greece and the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, Poland. Our primary goal was to investigate the circumstances under which the neolithisation of NW Peloponnese came about.
This article contributes to the question how sound the wide-spread scientific opinion is founded that the Mycenaean ‘palace states’ were ruled by kings. The starting point is a surprising observation made some years ago that conclusive proof for monarchic representation is missing.

Amongst the “Aegean pottery” published by Petrie in Illahun, Kahun and Gurob, London 1891, plate I, is the upper part of a Cypriote jug in the White Painted III-IV Pendent Line Style Ware. According to Petrie it “was found alongside of pottery of the 12th dynasty in a deep chamber” somewhere in the town, but Petrie’s failure to illustrate the material found in association with it has led scholars to doubt a Middle Kingdom date for the find

Το πήλινο ομοίωμα που παρουσιάζεται στο άρθρο αυτό αναπαριστά τη στέγη ενός μικρού ναΐσκου. Αποκαλύφθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια ανασκαφής ενός Yστερογεωμετρικού αψιδωτού ναού στα Νικολέικα, κοντά στο Αίγιο, αφιερωμένου πιθανώς στον Ελικώνιο Ποσειδώνα.

Το παρόν άρθρο παρουσιάζει έναν αδημοσίευτο ψευδόστομο αμφορέα από τον έξω Κεραμεικό της Αθήνας. Το αρχειακό υλικό που βρέθηκε πρόσφατα στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Οξφόρδης και το οποίο σχετίζεται με την αγορά του ψευδόστομου αμφορέα μας βοηθά να τοποθετήσουμε το συγκεκριμένο αντικείμενο στο αρχαιολογικό του περιβάλλον και να αξιολογήσουμε τη σημασία του υπό το πρίσμα των ιδιωτικών ανασκαφών στον έξω Κεραμεικό τα έτη 1871–2.

Μία από τις πιο ενδιαφέρουσες αρχιτεκτονικές διαμορφώσεις στην Μινωική εποχή είναι η λεγόμενη “Μινωική Αίθουσα”. Στην απλούστερη μορφή της αποτελείται από ένα φωταγωγό, έναν προθάλαμο και ένα δωμάτιο – το “πολύθυρον” πού περικλείεται από διαχωριστικά, τύπου “pier-and-door partitions”.
