L’architecture crétoise néopalatiale (XVIIe-XVe s. av. J.-C.) est étudiée selon une approche énergétique qui permet de déterminer le temps nécessaire à la construction d’un édifice. Le nombre total d’heures de travail dévolues à l’accomplissement des différentes tâches sur le chantier, depuis l’acquisition des matériaux jusqu’à leur mise en place, est estimé.
Η επιστημονική συνάντηση ΧΡΩΣΤΗΡΕΣ απευθύνθηκε σε αρχαιολόγους, συντηρητές αρχαιοτήτων και καλλιτέχνες που ειδικεύονται στη μελέτη της αιγαιακής εικονογραφίας, και οι οποίοι κλήθηκαν σε μία τράπεζα ανοικτών συζητήσεων με θέμα τη διαλεκτική σχέση που οι τέχνες της αγγειογραφίας και της τοιχογραφίας ανέπτυξαν στο Αιγαίο της 2ης χιλιετίας π.Χ.

Mediterranean landscape ecology, island cultures and long-term human history have all emerged as major research agendas over the past half-century, engaging large swathes of the social and natural sciences. This book brings these traditions together in considering Antikythera, a tiny island perched on the edge of the Aegean and Ionian seas, over the full course of its human history from the Neolithic through the present day.

The last decades have witnessed the adoption and refinement of various scientific techniques that allow us to reconstruct past diets, but also to understand the role of food in social interaction. These are exciting developments, but the proliferation of analytical techniques may also lead to over-specialization and fragmentation of the field.
Individuals (or atoms), those that cannot be divided any further, are the building blocks of the world as we conceive it. Both words refer to what cannot be divided and usually denote the bricks and mortar of the social or material worlds respectively. Their study has fascinated many since the dawn of philosophy.

This book revises our understanding of Mycenaean society through a detailed analysis of individuals attested in the administrative texts from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos in southwestern Greece, ca. 1200 BC. It argues that conventional models of Mycenaean society, which focus on administrative titles and terms, can be improved through the study of named individuals.
Οι μελέτες αυτού του τόμου παρουσιάστηκαν στην επιστημονική ημερίδα που πραγματοποιήθηκε στη Θάσο το καλοκαίρι του 2003. Η συνάντηση των ειδικών επιστημόνων υπαγορεύτηκε από την ανάγκη μιας από κοινού προσέγγισης των δεδομένων του προϊστορικού οικισμού των Λιμεναρίων, και της ανταλλαγής πληροφοριών χρήσιμων για την εξέλιξη της έρευνας στους επιμέρους τομείς.
When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.

The small site of Aphrodite's Kephali, among several other Minoan and later sites, took advantage of the valley topography in the Isthmus of Ierapetra in eastern Crete by establishing themselves along the nearby hills, resulting in easy access to the natural trade route between the Aegean and the Libyan Seas. A discussion of the architecture, artifacts, and ecofacts are presented from the excavation of this Early Minoan I watchtower.
During the 3rd millennium BC, Cyprus became deeply involved with the Ancient Near East and with other parts of the East Mediterranean for the first time since the island was colonised. This included the likely migration of peoples from the East Aegean and Anatolia, and changes that ushered in the Bronze Age.
