Aegina has long been recognised as a major production centre of a variety of widely exported ceramic containers not only in the relatively recent past but also in Classical antiquity and especially during the Middle and Late Bronze Age.
Ο Άδωνις Κύρου στις αρχαιολογικές περιπλανήσεις και αναζητήσεις του επεσήμανε την ύπαρξη άφθονων οστράκων και άλλων αρχαίων γύρω από την εκκλησία του Αγίου Γεωργίου στη θέση «στο Βουνό» στα Κύθηρα. Το ανακοίνωσε στον Γιάννη Σακελλαράκη ο οποίος έκρινε ότι ο τόπος άξιζε μια συστηματική ανασκαφή, κάτι που πραγματοποίησε με τη γνωστή του θεληματικότητα και επιστημοσύνη.

Die Ägäis erlebte in der Bronzezeit eine rasante kulturelle Entwicklung, bei der das maritime Element eine entscheidende Rolle spielte. Zuerst waren es die Kykladen-Bewohner und später die Minoer, die seetüchtige Boote und Schiffe entwickelt haben, mit denen sie die wichtigsten maritimen Wege beherrschten.

This is the third and pivotal one of six volumes on the tell settlement excavated to some 1% in 1994-1996. The 18 layers of the upper part of the tell, which was ca. 200 x 100 x 30 m large and originally situated at the sea and on the river Olynthius, reach from the transition between the Early to Middle Bronze Age [cal. B.C. 2060] to the Protogeometric Phase [early 1st mill. B.C.].

This volume presents the papers of an international colloquium on the archaeology of houses and households in ancient Crete held in Ierapetra in May 2005. The name of the conference—and of the present volume—was inspired by the “Great Code” of Gortyn, where stega (literally, “roof”) is used to refer to the “house” both as a building and as an important element of a citizen’s “household.” Indeed, understanding the relationship between “house” as physical structure and “household” as social unit remains among the fundamental goals and challenges of household archaeology in any time period or geographical location.
Το μυκηναϊκό νεκροταφείο βρίσκεται στη θέση Καραγιάννη, στα χαμηλά πρανή του Μιτοπολιάνικου βουνού ή αλλιώς Κομποβουνίου του Δήμου Ωλενίας, απ΄ όπου μπορεί κανείς να ελέγξει όλη τη ΒΔ πεδινή έκταση της Αχαΐας καθώς και τον Πατραϊκό κόλπο. Ιδιαίτερη σημασία έχει η εξάρτηση του αρχαιολογικού χώρου της Μιτόπολης από το Τείχος Δυμαίων, για το οποίο ορισμένοι μελετητές πιστεύουν ότι ήταν το διοικητικό κέντρο ή ο ναύσταθμος των μυκηναϊκών εγκαταστάσεων της επαρχίας Πατρών.

How do we understand the systemic interactions that took place in and between different regions of prehistoric Eurasia and their consequences for individuals, groups and regions on both a theoretical and empirical basis? Such interactions helped create economic and cultural spheres that were mutually dependent yet distinct.
While "corridor houses" such as the House of the Tiles at Lerna have provoked widespread discussion about the origins of social stratification in Greece, few settlements of the Early Bronze Age (ca. 3100 to 2000 B.C.) have been thoroughly excavated.

Excavations carried out at the Late Minoan III settlement and cemetery at Mochlos in eastern Crete yielded domestic artifacts, human remains, grave goods, and ecofactual material from 31 tombs and 11 houses. These objects are cataloged, discussed, and illustrated. Radiocarbon dates for the site are also presented.
This book presents the ceramic vessels from the Late Minoan (LM) II-III settlement at Mochlos and its cemetery at Limenaria, which lies opposite the settlement a short distance to the south.

The Bronze Age of the Maltese archipelago has long been overlooked by archaeologists whose attention has mostly been focused on the Late Neolithic temples. This book attempts to understand the islands’ Bronze Age society in the course of the second millennium BC by exploring the history of Borġ in-Nadur in south-east Malta.

Ever since their first discovery, more than a century ago, the Minoan Palaces have dominated scholarship on the Cretan Bronze Age. Opinion long held that their first appearance, seemingly at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, marked a pivotal transformation point, during which the simple, egalitarian societies of the Early Bronze Age were transformed into something significantly more complex, hierarchical and civilised.
From 1957 to 1961 the British School at Athens undertook an extensive programme of stratigraphical excavations at Knossos under Sinclair Hood, then Director of the School. This report publishes in detail the results of investigations into Early Minoan levels, which shed much new light on the era before the "Old Palace" was established.

Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe examines the development of early agriculture in Neolithic Europe, drawing on the work of the late Professor Andrew Sherratt. His untimely death coincided with an important period of research that moved beyond searching for singular causal mechanisms behind the ‘neolithisation’ of Europe in favour of developing a better understanding of the complex interrelationships of cultural, ecological, economic and social factors.
