During an underwater survey conducted by the diving team of the Ephorate of Paleoanthropology - Speleology of the Ministry of Culture, a submerged cave was located in the area of Akrotiri, Chania (Crete). The cave has two entrances, one underwater at a depth of 15 meters and the second on land, on the cave’s ceiling, close to the rocky shore.

During the previous research campaigns (2003 and 2005), the cargo of a Late Bronze shipwreck was located and documented on the north steep bottom of the islet of Modi (Poros). It consists mainly of large transport vessels (pithoi and jars), some of them intact and most of them in fragmentary condition.

The poverty of the Neopalatial funerary record (1650/1640-1440/1430 B.C.) is the subject of this paper, for which both natural and cultural factors are explored. The exposition of corpses to the elements or their crude deposition in natural cavities seems to be the reason for their rarity in the Neopalatial archaeological landscape. It can also be related to ancient Cretan practices.

This article treats the obsidians found during recent excavations of the pre- and proto-palatial levels within the palace of Malia or in the immediate proximity. The material has been examined from different angles, beginning with the knapping technique.

In the period following the fall of Mycenaean palaces, of the Hittite empire and the small states in Syro-Palestinian areas a likely new role for Cyprus seems to open. The island not only maintains its peculiar position as key point for trade but also becomes the cross-road for people who stop in Cyprus, often only provisioning, moving from and towards other countries.

Archaeobotanical material was collected from the Bronze Age fill and the Protogeometric phases underneath the Roman Villa Dionysus, Knossos, Crete. The Bronze Age assemblage was poor, representing only accidental intrusions to a tight fill of sherds and stones.

Considered here is the ‘Labyrinth Fresco’ (or ‘Maze Fresco’), fragments of which were found by Sir Arthur Evans in the Minoan palace at Knossos. Interestingly, the pattern was rendered through engraving, with the exclusively red colour used applied within the grooves.

Together with politics, economics and religion, war is one of the fundamental factors that can shape a society and group identities. In the prehistoric world, the sources for the study of war are disparate and their interpretation can be inconsistent and problematic.

Seventy years after its first investigation, Karphi (Karfi) on Crete was the subject of a new pilot excavation in 2008. The main aim was to provide the first up-to-date detailed contextual records for the site across a representative area, thus filling in interpretative gaps left by the original extensive excavation.

The brown bear is, together with the wolf, at the heart of many of the earliest known cults and rituals. This old and persistent connection produced a solid and familiar symbolism, which, irrespective of cultural or historical parameters, reproduces and highlights the archetypical properties of this animal: motherhood, fertility, protection of the young, healing power.
