Preserving memory in Minoan Crete. Filled-in bench and platform deposits from the First Palace of Phaistos
Journal of Greek Archaeology 2 (2017): 33-52
This paper focuses on some unusual and not well-known structured deposits from this building, that largely consist of complete or fragmentary vases as well as occasionally other objects that are placed in a ‘structured’ way, with which I mean that they have either been positioned vertically and/ or horizontally, and sometimes comprise stacked cups, before being sealed. They are here called ‘filled-in bench and platform deposits’. They differ from other cases identified at Minoan sites, such as Knossos, Malia, Thronos/Kephala and Nopeigia-Drapanias, but also from practices attested in Bronze and Iron Age sites in Northern and Eastern Europe (e.g. Britain and Bulgaria).New insights into the Upper Pleistocene archaeology of Northwestern Greece: The evidence from three open-air sites and its implication for Middle and Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers’ activity and behaviour in Southeastern Europe
Journal of Greek Archaeology 2 (2017): 1-32
Following a brief review of the basic points and conclusions concerning archaeological research on the Upper Pleistocene in Northwestern Greece, our methods and research questions are presented. The overview of the empirical data is followed by a discussion of how these are integrated into the Palaeolithic narrative of the region and the wider context of Southeastern Europe.Mykenische Keramik in der Rhodopenregion.

The production regions of that pottery could be established by means of Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), and we compare the earlier results of Dragoyna with the new ones from Koprivlen. These results give us the opportunity to re-evaluate the development of contacts between the eastern Balkans, the northern Aegean and Mycenaean Greece.The Late Helladic IIB to IIIA2 pottery sequence from the Mycenaean palace at Ayios Vasileios, Laconia
Archaeologia Austriaca 101 (2017): 73-142
One of the main tasks has been the detailed analysis of well stratified material, which will clarify the development of the local pottery styles including evidence for continuity or discontinuity in the commonest pottery types and fabrics from the site. Based on the preliminary results from this study the developments and changes in the pottery tradition have been compared to those known from other centres in Laconia and beyond.Late Helladic and later reuse phases of Kastrouli settlement (Greece): Preliminary dating results
Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 16.3 (2016): 245-250
An initial archaeological reconnaissance of the partially looted site has produced some indication of use during late Helladic and later periods. Our four ages by luminescence and C-14 have shown that this site was used initially in Late Helladic period, and reused during the Middle Geometric, the Early Archaic and the Classical periods.Lithic Industries of the Aegean Upper Mesolithic
Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 16.3 (2016): 229-243
Recent research at Areta in the northern side of Chalki Island (Dodecanese) has revealed an enormous quantity of lithics of the Mesolithic period. It is the first time that such an old settlement is located in the area of the Dodecanese, thus extending to the southeast of the Aegean the already known Mesolithic network of sites and creating a sea route from Cyclades to Dodecanese.Identification of skeletal remains from a Mycenaean burial in Kastrouli Desfina, Greece
Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 17.1 (2017): 265-269
We identified 15 adults along with 2 subadults, an infant and a fetus. Skeletal remains of domesticated animals were also recovered from the same undisturbed context, for which the recovered archaeological artifacts suggest that the tomb was Mycenaean/Late Helladic in date.Ζάκρος

At-risk cultural heritage: new excavations and finds from the Mycenaean site of Kastrouli, Phokis, Greece
Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 17.1 (2017): 271-285
The main pottery shape is the stirrup jar, and the small finds include Phi and Psi figurines, steatite beads, and fragments of gold foil. The period of the original use of the tomb falls between the LH IIIA 2 and the LH IIIC Early or Advanced. There is some evidence that the tomb has been reused in the Middle Geometric Period.Κουμάσα Κρήτης
