The study of settlement sites is usually based on the analysis of architectural or cultural phases. The sediments that constitute the excavated deposits inside or outside houses are rarely studied. This work presents micromorphological analysis of sediments at the prehistoric site of Mitrou, a small tidal islet in central Greece.
Το 1904 ο Παναγιώτης Καββαδίας εκφωνεί μπροστά στα μέλη του Ανθρωπολογικού Τμήματος της British Association μια σύντομη ανακοίνωση για την ανθρωπολογία και την προϊστορική αρχαιολογία στην Ελλάδα.
In the late 1920’s Nikolaos Kyparissis discovered the Mycenaean chamber tomb cemetery at Agios Vasilios, near Chalandritsa in central Achaea and excavated some of the tombs. During the following decades archaeological work undertaken in the area revealed several sites and finds, but it seems uncertain weather any of that concerned the cemetery of Agios Vasilios.
Στην περιοχή Κοντοπήγαδο του δήμου Αλίμου Αττικής υπήρχε χαμηλός λόφος με προιστορική κατοίκηση, από τον οποίο σήμερα σώζεται ένα μικρό μόνο τμήμα, μήκους 32 μ., πλάτους 21 μ. και ύψους μόλις 2 μ. πάνω από το κατάστρωμα του δυτικού παραδρόμου της λεωφόρου Βουλιαγμένης.

Private benefactors have played an important part in Aegean and Cypriot prehistoric studies over the 100-plus years since the disciplines began. With the support of imaginative, informed, and generous patrons, prehistory is alive and well in both regions.

The swords deposited in the Mycenae Grave Circles are some of the most visible symbols of the emergence of a new system of social relations in Middle Helladic (MH) III–Late Helladic (LH) I.

In this article we provide a preliminary report of the work carried out between 2010 and 2012 as part of the Makrakomi Archaeological Landscapes Project (MALP). The programme of research is carried out in co-operation between the Swedish Institute at Athens and the 14th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities at Lamia.

Studying materials through a chaîne opératoire approach is common practice in studying craft activities. Whilst unravelling a chain of production can be very rewarding, many issues still arise: can all the steps be captured even when no material evidence is present, i.e. how can we approach production chains in the case of inconsistently or partially preserved material in settlement contexts?
In the Aegean Late Bronze Age there exists rich iconographic evidence for the ritual practice of processions, demonstrating the practice’s importance within Mycenaean offcial cult.
In the large group of pots (or parts of pots), which were cleaned, conserved and mended/reconstructed in 2012, are included: cooking vessels of coarse or semi-coarse Aeginetan fabric (tripod cooking pots, cooking jars with flat base, basins, a lid);
Κατά τον Οκτώβριο του 2012 η ανασκαφή στη Μυκηναϊκή ακρόπολη εξελίχθηκε στο Κτήριο Δ, μεταξύ του Ανατολικού Συγκροτήματος και του Κτηρίου Γ, στο κεντρικό περίπου τμήμα του διασέλου που συνδέει τα δύο υψώματα της ακρόπολης.

This article analyses refuse disposal mechanisms at El-Amarna, the well-known site of a Late Bronze Age city in Middle Egypt. After around forty years of increasingly intensive settlement archaeology in Egypt, refuse and middens have received surprisingly little attention, despite their importance in archaeological and cultural analyses and interpretations.

The role of fishing in the Aegean LBA has until now been addressed with respect to its peripheral character within food-producing activities, as it is commonly accepted that affluent LBA societies were strictly oriented towards surplus strategies.
