In this second part of The Schliemann Diaries we follow Heinrich Schliemann (the famous 19th century archaeologist, trader and traveller) through his diary on his second journey: his travels to America from December 1850 to March 1853. The original diary was written in English and for a small part in Spanish. This publication is a transcription and translation of Schliemann’s travel diary.
The pottery and figurines from the Mycenaean cemeteries at Kolonaki, Hagia Anna, Ismenion and Elektrae Gates in Thebes were first published by the excavator A. Keramopoullos in the AE 49 (1910) and AD 3 (1917) in association with the chamber tombs and also in context with the other tomb deposits.
The ‘Ochsenkrater-Grab’ from Nicosia Ayia Paraskevi in Cyprus has long been known but never fully documented. Named after the Mycenaean IIIB crater decorated with bulls included amongst its contents, the presumed tomb group was acquired by Max Ohnefalsch-Richter in the 1880s and subsequently sold to the Königliche, now Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Germany, where part of what is left of it remains.
Η ακρόπολη στο Κορφάρι των Αμυγδαλιών (Πάνορμος) Νάξου συγκέντρωσε το ενδιαφέρον των μελετητών του Κυκλαδικού Πολιτισμού ήδη από την εποχή της ανακάλυψής της, το 1963 από τον τότε επιμελητή αρχαιοτήτων καθηγητή Χρίστο Γ. Ντούμα. Θεωρείται από τις χαρακτηριστικές θέσεις της περιόδου της ομάδας Καστριού, στη διάρκεια της οποίας νέοι «ανατολίζοντες» τύποι κεραμικής κάνουν την εμφάνισή τους στις Κυκλάδες μαζί με ευρύτερες αλλαγές και ανακατατάξεις, οι οποίες θεωρείται ότι ανέκοψαν την ομαλή πολιτισμική εξέλιξη κατά τους τελευταίους αιώνες της τρίτης χιλιετίας π.Χ.

Carl W. Blegen is the most famous American archaeologist ever to work in Greece, and no American has ever had a greater impact on Greek archaeology. Yet Blegen, unlike several others of his generation, has until now found no biographer. In part, the explanation or this must lie in the fact that his life was so multifaceted: not only was he instrumental in creating the field of Aegean prehistory, but Blegen, his wife, and their best friends, the Hills (“the family”) were also significant forces in the social and intellectual community of Athens.

Over her career Susan Sherratt has questioned our basic assumptions in many areas of the later prehistory of the Mediterranean and Europe, deploying a canny eye for detail, but never losing sight of the big picture. Her collected works include contributions on the relationship between Homeric epic and archaeology; the economy of ceramics, metals and other materials; the status of the ‘Sea Peoples’ and other ethnic terminologies; routes and different forms of interaction; and the history of museums/collecting (especially relating to Sir Arthur Evans).
The volume presents a full report on excavations undertaken in 2010 and 2011 by Vassos Karageorghis and Athanasia Kanta at the 13th BC fortified settlement of Pyla-Kokkinokremos in the Larnaca Bay area of southern Cyprus; and an additional brief report on the 2012 excavations which uncovered two extremely important Cypro-Minoan clay tablets.

This volume investigates how the structure and use of space developed and changed in cities, and examines the role of different societal groups in shaping urbanism. Culturally and chronologically diverse case studies provide a basis to examine recent theoretical and methodological shifts in the archaeology of ancient cities.
Inscribed Minoan stone vessels are ritual gifts that index their dedicants’ intention that both their gift and their name should survive permanently at the place of dedication. These vessels contained offerings, yet the vessels themselves were also offerings, serving as permanent records of a ritual act. These rituals were most likely communal, incorporating group feasting and drinking.
The archaeological remains of Pre- and Protopalatial (Early Minoan I to Middle Minoan IIB) Crete include a large number of tombs and cemeteries dating to the third and second millennium B.C.E. These periods constitute a distinct cycle in terms of mortuary customs that was clearly defined by two significant attributes: the use of similar types of tombs and the deposition of significant amounts of material, objects that must be considered socially valuable.

Since the decipherment of the Linear Β script by Michael Ventris in 1952, many books and papers have contributed to a better understanding of the Mycenaean texts and their cultural context. F. Aura Jorro has been able to critically review and systematize the richness and variety of the scholarship devoted to the interpretation of Mycenaean in his outstanding Diccionario micénico.
Η τοπογραφία του ιερού στον Αγ. Γεώργιο στο Βουνό, οι συνθήκες οι οποίες επικράτησαν στον χώρο μετά την επίσημη εγκατάλειψη της μινωικής αποικίας και ιδιαίτερα η συνεχόμενη χρήση του χώρου, ακόμη και μετά τη Βυζαντινή εποχή, συνετέλεσαν αποφασιστικά στη σημερινή εικόνα στρωματογραφικής ασυνέχειας και ανομοιογένειας.
