The objective of this volume is a theoretical debate on the archaeology at the crossroads of the Balkans, the Aegean and Anatolia and its interrelation with social and political life in this historically turbulent region. Modern political borders still divide European archaeology and intercept research.
Το Διεθνές Συνέδριο «Αρχαιολογικό Έργο στην Πελοπόννησο» (ΑΕΠΕΛ1), που διοργάνωσαν από κοινού το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού και το Πανεπιστήμιο Πελοποννήσου (Τμήμα Ιστορίας, Αρχαιολογίας και Διαχείρισης Πολιτισμικών Αγαθών – Τμήμα Ι.Α.Δ.Π.Α), πραγματοποιήθηκε με επιτυχία στην Τρίπολη στις 7-11 Νοεμβρίου 2012.
The monograph contains the primary publication of the seals (S1–S16), sealings (N1–N75) and stamped objects (I1–I3) retrieved at the Bronze Age site of Akrotiri in Thera. Their contexts date from the MC A period, which corresponds roughly to the Cretan MM I period (at the turn of the third to the second millennium BC), until the final volcanic destruction phase that occurred at a mature phase of LC/LM IA (1623/1530 BC).

In this monograph the authors present the finds of four Mycenaean chamber tombs, from the rescue excavation of Ephor Mastrokostas at Aigion in 1967. Unfortunately, no diary or any other information, regarding the architecture or the burial customs, was found.
The Mycenaean Cemetery at Achaia Clauss near Patras: People, material remains and culture in context' comprises the study of the finds from the excavation of the Mycenaean cemetery of Clauss near Patras, carried out by the University of Ioannina and the Archaeological Society at Athens from 1988 to 1992, under the direction of Professor Thanassis Papadopoulos.
The Mycenaean chamber-tomb cemetery at Agios Vasileios, near Chalandritsa in Achaea, was first investigated by Nikolaos Kyparissis in the late 1920s, followed by small-scale research in 1961 by Efthimios Mastrokostas. In the years 1989-2001 more rescue excavations were conducted by the Greek Archaeological Service, revealing 30 chamber tombs, some looted. Based mostly on the latest research, this study is the first major presentation of the cemetery and its finds.
The present monograph constitutes the first volume of the final publication of the Late Minoan (LM) IIIC settlement at Chalasmenos, Ierapetra, East Crete.
This volume focuses on the 5th and 4th millennia BC in Western Anatolia and the East Aegean. The starting point for this is the investigation of the Chalcolithic settlement phases at Çukuriçi Höyük. The Middle and Late Chalcolithic timeframe discussed still represents one of the most insufficiently investigated periods in this region.
The 5th volume of the publication series Oriental and European Archaeology represents the overture of the Çukuriçi Höyük final publications. The prehistoric tell site at the Aegean coast of Turkey close to the antique metropolis of Ephesos has been excavated between 2007 and 2014. The study includes a general outline of the research project, its main methodological and analytical approaches, and its main outcome after seven excavation seasons in chapter 1.
The Phaistos Disc is one of the most studied documents of Minoan civilization, enticing scholars and simple enthusiasts with the mysterious aura that envelops it and with its singularity among Minoan scriptures. It has entered the collective imagination, both at academic and popular levels. Archaeologists digging at Phaistos are often asked 'Where was the Disc found?'

In January of 2007, a bulldozer operator was creating a parking area next to the Greek National Highway for a church near the village of Pacheia Ammos, in northeast Crete. He stopped immediately when his machine uncovered two Minoan clay jars and a human skull, and he immediately reported the discovery to the Greek Archaeological Service. Near this Minoan burial was a small artificial rock shelter dug into the soft bedrock.
Quartier Mu of Malia is an exceptional architectural ensemble of the time of the First Minoan Palaces. Excavations brought to light the remains of a group of adjacent but independent buildings, remarkably well preserved by the violent fire that caused their destruction.
Ο μυκηναϊκός οικισμός του Διμηνίου αποτελεί ένα εξαιρετικό παράδειγμα ανάπτυξης ενός μεγάλου αστικού κέντρου στην ανατολική Θεσσαλία, καθώς είναι ο μόνοs από τους τρεις γνωστούς οικισμούς στην παραλιακή ζώνη του λιμανιού του Παγασητικού Κόλπου (Κάστρο Βόλου/Παλιά, Πευκάκια και Διμήνι), αλλά και από τους υπόλοιπους μυκηναϊκούς οικισμούς της Θεσσαλίας, που έχει ανασκαφεί συστηματικά σε μεγάλη έκταση.
Στόχος του βιβλίου είναι η επανεξέταση των πρακτικών προσωπικής κόσμησης κατά τη νεολιθική περίοδο στην Ελλάδα μέσω της επανεκτίμησης των διαθέσιμων στοιχείων που προέρχονται από περισσότερες από εκατό ανεσκαμμένες νεολιθικές θέσεις, καθώς και η λεπτομερειακή μελέτη του corpus κοσμημάτων που προέρχονται από τη λιμναία θέση της Μέσης-Νεότερης Νεολιθικής περιόδου στο Δισπηλιό Καστοριάς.

Δεν υπάρχει πράξη χωρίς θεωρία. Δεν υφίσταται δυνατότητα κατανόησης μιας κοινωνίας, χωρίς ένα ουσιαστικό θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο. Ακούγοντας και διαβάζοντας καθημερινά κάθε είδους αποφάνσεις περί της κοινωνίας, συχνά δεν υποψιαζόμαστε ότι η θεωρητική μελέτη της δεν είναι μόνο μια «εμπειροτεχνική» ενασχόληση, αλλά και μια εξειδικευμένη επιστημονική δραστηριότητα.
