The Late Bronze Age Mycenaean palaces in southern and central Greece stood at the head of the earliest state system on the European continent. The authors, all leading scholars in Bronze Age research and often engaged in excavating the palace sites themselves, focus in their contributions on the most recent progress in pottery studies, in order to arrive at precise relative chronological dates of the destruction events. The investigated archaeological sites range from Crete in the south to the Peloponnese with the palaces of Pylos, Ayios Vasileios, Mycenae and Tiryns and further north to central Greece with the palace of Thebes, while contemporary sites on Cyprus and in Syria are taken into consideration as well.

The site of Phylakopi on Melos occupies a special place in the prehistory of the Aegean Bronze Age. The first work there by the British School at Athens in 1896–99 (there were two further campaigns, in 1911 and 1974–77) was memorably described by Carl Blegen as ‘the first really serious effort to understand stratification, the first really good excavation in Greece’. The Field Director, Duncan Mackenzie, kept detailed day-to-day records of the work, later applying methods developed on Melos to the excavation of Knossos.
This book investigates the complex relationship between funerary treatment and wider social dynamics through a contextual analysis of human skeletal remains and associated mortuary data from Voudeni, an important Mycenaean (1400-1050 BC) chamber tomb cemetery in Achaea, Greece.
A Silent Place: Death in Mycenaean Lakonia is the first book-length systematic study of the Late Bronze Age (LBA) burial tradition in south-eastern Peloponnese, Greece, and the first to comprehensively present and discuss all Mycenaean tombs and funerary contexts excavated and/or simply reported in the region from the 19th century to present day.

The last three decades have witnessed a period of growing archaeological activity in Greece that have enhanced our awareness of the diversity and variability of ancient communities. New sites offer rich datasets from many aspects of material culture that challenge traditional perceptions and suggest complex interpretations of the past.

Few major Classical cities have disappeared so completely from view, over the centuries, as Thespiai in Central Greece. Only the technique of intensive field survey, carefully adapted to a large urban site and reinforced by historical investigation, has made it possible to recover from oblivion much of its life of seven millennia.

In the 1990s, there were times when it appeared as though the then Canadian Archaeological Institute at Athens would not see the light of the new millennium. In 2015, with the now Canadian Institute in Greece’s 40th anniversary of its official recognition as one of the foreign archaeological schools and institutes by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture fast approaching, the authors thought it would be appropriate to celebrate this achievement with a colloquium.
Το 2018 πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο του Ηρακλείου ένας θεματικός κύκλος αφιερωμένος στην ανάδειξη καινοτόμων τεχνικών σε διάφορους τομείς της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας κατά την αρχαιότητα, καθώς και στη διαμόρφωση διαύλων επικοινωνίας της αρχαίας τέχνης με τη σύγχρονη καλλιτεχνική δημιουργία.

The Bouros-Kastri peninsula at the south-eastern tip of the Greek island of Euboia has previously been overlooked in the archaeological literature. This survey by the Southern Euboea Exploration Project, conducted under the aegis of the Canadian Institute in Greece, now provides a wealth of intriguing information about fluctuations in long-term use and habitation in this part of the Karystia.
The aim of the present work is to present a comprehensive survey of the genre of Minoan and Mycenaean signet rings in its chronological, technical and iconographic development. The study of the material faces two main problems: First, seal images of supposedly religious content have always been a vividly discussed subject of research, while signet rings with allegedly lesser pictographical potential were (and still are) significantly underrepresented in the literature.
The outstanding feature of the shape of the three-handled jars which are the primary focus of this study (Shapes 46 and 47 in Furumark’s classification) is the conical or biconical body, sometimes with a rather angular shoulder. Probably used as ointment containers, these three-handled jars were relatively common in Cypriot tombs, especially at Enkomi, but no small jars of these shapes have been found in the Aegean.
Η ανασκαφή στην θέση Καντού Κουφόβουνος αποτελεί την πρώτη ανασκαφή του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών στην Κύπρο. Έλαβε χώρα υπό την αιγίδα του πανεπιστημίου και υπό την διεύθυνση της πρώτης συγγραφέως αυτού του τόμου. Οι ανασκαφικές εργασίες στην θέση άρχισαν το καλοκαίρι του 1992 και ολοκληρώθηκαν το καλοκαίρι του 1999.
