Keramik der mykenischen Kultur Südgriechenlands ist seit langem aus weiten Teilen des Ostmittelmeerraumes bekannt und aufgrund seiner fein chronologischen Gliederung ein probates Werkzeug zur Synchronisierung.
Einen lediglich dreiseitigen archäologischen Beitrag zu verfassen ist nicht einfach, insbesondere dann, wenn man bereits die ersten Zeilen damit vergeudet, auf dieses Faktum hinzuweisen.

This article looks at the role of George Rolleston (1829-81), the first Anatomy and Physiology Professor at Oxford, in forming an impressive collection of crania and in bringing closer together archaeology and physical anthropology in a professional, systematic and specialized way.
The systematic interdisciplinary excavation at the ArchontikoToumba, situated between ancient Pella and Giannitsa, illuminates a little-known period of Macedonian prehistory, which is chronologically located at the transition from the Early to the Middle Bronze Age. Two main settlement phases with sub-phases have been determined.
In the present article is examined the geometric pottery that came out from the lower levels of the trench 23-13a, in the ancient settlement at Karabournaki. Geometric sherds have been mostly found between two successive floorings consisting of seashells and pebbles. There are indications that such floorings might have been used as substructures of exterior courtyards or streets.

Ο πρώτος προηγμένος ευρωπαϊκός πολιτισμός της Εποχής του Χαλκού εγκαθιδρύθηκε περίπου 5.000 χρόνια πριν από τους Μινωίτες. Από τότε που ο Sir Arthur Evans αποκάλυψε το μινωικό αστικό κέντρο της Κνωσού, οι αρχαιολόγοι κάνουν εικασίες σχετικά με την καταγωγή των ιδρυτών του εν λόγω πολιτισμού. Ο ίδιος ο Evans εισηγήθηκε ότι οι Μινωίτες έλκουν την καταγωγή τους από τη βόρεια Αφρική, ενώ από άλλους έχει προταθεί καταγωγή από τη Μικρά Ασία και τη Μέση Ανατολή, καθώς επίσης κυκλαδίτικη και βαλκανική καταγωγή

The development of exchange networks over vast distances is one of the most significant characteristics of Neolithic societies. The transition to sedentary agricultural societies is often associated with a considerable increase in the quantity of goods diffused and the distances they travelled.

Two deeply stratified cave sites in southern Greece show how the relations between material input rates and human prey choice may reflect local site function and regional food supply effects simultaneously. The Upper Paleolithic through Mesolithic faunas at Klissoura Cave 1 and Franchthi Cave on the Argolid Peninsula (Peloponnese) provide clear evidence of diet expansion with time, based on increasing use of costly small animals.

The author shows how better recovery techniques have allowed the early history of the Mediterranean olive to be rewritten. Small scale exploitation is detectable in the Neolithic, and is widespread by the Early Bronze Age.
The bronze razor with the horse-head handle appeared in Scandinavia in the fifteenth century BC. Where did it come from and what did it mean? The author shows that the razor had some antecedents in the Aegean, although none of these objects were imported to the north.

The fertile plains of central and western Macedonia are of key importance for early Greek prehistory, and Nea Nikomedeia, dated to the end of the seventh millennium BC, has long been considered one of the earliest farming settlements in Europe.

Since the first decade of the twentieth century, the material culture of Minoan Crete has been a rich source of inspiration for modern writers and artists, as various articles and books on this subject testify.
In the pre-globalization era, foreign objects acquired high social value due to their exotic character, relative inaccessibility, and distant origin. However, a closer look at the factors involved in the creation of their captivating aura reveals that their dislocation into a new cultural context affected the perception and appreciation of their material and design in substantially different ways.
