The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that were actually consumed. The chapters that comprise this volume describe the application of this methodology to the archaeology of Greece, a country whose archaeobotanical remains have been isotopically studied more extensively than any other place in the world.
This volume treats in detail the pottery from the settlement on the islet of Dhaskalio, whose excavation is described in Volume I of the series. Much of the importance of this material lies in the undisturbed stratigraphy of the settlement, a fact that allowed for the recognition of three successive phases of occupation of the site with considerable ceramic continuity between them, as well as for safe inferences about its chronology, with wider implications for the later Εarly Βronze Αge of the Cyclades.

While the analysis of stone tools has been a cornerstone of prehistoric archaeology since its inception, their role in the study of Greek sites gained greater traction only in the 1950s.
Πρόκειται για τα πρακτικά του Διεπιστημονικού Συνεδρίου «Η αρχαιολογία στην Ελλάδα του σήμερα. Μνημεία και άνθρωποι σε κρίση» που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Αθήνα στις 19-20 Μαρτίου 2015.

Textile production is one of the most important crafts in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age societies and recent interdisciplinary and collaborative work offers crucial new perspectives into this field. The new and updated catalogue of archaeological textile finds presented here clearly demonstrates, even from the few extant finds, that knowledge of the use of fibres and of elaborate textile techniques that were used to produce textiles of different qualities was well developed.
Το σπήλαιο Σαρακηνού βρίσκεται στον βραχώδη όγκο ανατολικά της πεδιάδας (αποξηραμένης πλέον λίμνης) της Κωπαΐδας και δυτικά του χωριού Ακραίφνιο, σε υψόμετρο ~100 μ.
Το βιβλίο αποτελεί μία συνθετική παρουσίαση παλαιότερου και νέου (αδημοσίευτου) υλικού για την προϊστορική Μύκονο. Συνοδεύεται από παράρτημα για την ιστορία της σχετικής έρευνας.
In the 1960s a great new barrier dam was built across the Peneios Valley in Elis in the N.W. Peloponnese to create an artificial lake for irrigation purposes. In 1967 the Greek Archaeological Service organised a preliminary survey of the areas to be affected and also asked all the Foreign Archaeological Schools to assist and allocated specific sections to each.

To βιβλίο δημοσιεύει τις γερμανικές ανασκαφές του 1941 στη Μαγούλα Βισβίκη στο Βελεστίνο Θεσσαλίας. Η Μαγούλα Βισβίκη εντοπίσθηκε στις αρχές του 20ού αιώνα από τον πρωτοπόρο αρχαιολόγο Χρήστο Τσούντα. Στη θέση αυτή πραγματοποίησε ανασκαφική έρευνα ο Γερμανός αρχαιολόγος Hans Reinerth με εντολή του γερμανικού φασιστικού κράτους το 1941 (Οκτώβριος-Δεκέμβριος) και με συνεργάτες τον Rudolf Stampfuss και τον Wilhelm Stossel.

Beyond Thalassocracies aims to evaluate and rethink the manner in which archaeologists approach, understand, and analyse the various processes associated with culture change connected to interregional contact, using as a test case the world of the Aegean during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1600–1100 BC).

Die vorliegende Festschrift verdankt ihre Existenz nicht einer persönlichen oder wissenschaftlichen Pflicht, sondern vielmehr einem dringenden Bedürfnis zahlreicher Kollegen, Mitarbeiter, Schüler und Freunde sowohl dem Wissenschaftler als auch dem Menschen Wolf-Dietrich Niemeier einen großen Dank auszusprechen und sein verdienstvolles Wirken auf angemessene Weise zu würdigen.
Η επιλογή των Μυκηνών για τον φετινό αφιερωματικό τόμο προέκυψε αβίαστα. Είναι ένας τόπος όπου τα ιστορικά γεγονότα υφαίνονται με το μύθο και πρωταγωνιστές όπως ο Ατρέας, ο Αγαμέμνονας, η Κλυταιμνήστρα, ο Μενέλαος, η Ιφιγένεια, ο Ορέστης ζωντανεύουν στα μάτια του επισκέπτη.
Landscape archaeology is being transformed by the recent development of novel geoinformatic techniques that facilitate entirely new ways to study the archaeological record. Despite this stimulating potential, these techniques are developing so quickly that many practitioners are not fully aware of their capabilities or the most suitable ways to apply them.
In this book the authors publish thirteen tombs and two pyres excavated by the Cyprus Department of Antiquities in the cemeteries of Palaepaphos, on the western part of Cyprus. More tombs from the same cemeteries were published by the same authors in 2014 and earlier (by V. Karageorghis) in 1983.
Extensive excavations in the Necropolis of Palaepaphos at site Skales undertaken by the Department of Antiquities in 1979 had demonstrated the importance of this kingdom of Cyprus from the early 11th century B.C. to the end of the Cypro-Geometric III period.
