This paper will focus on the plant remains retrieved from archaeological layers of the first occupation phase of the settlement of Dispilio, which is dated in the Middle Neolithic period (5459-5082 BC), although the site continues to be in use not only in the Late Neolithic and through the Bronze Age but also in the much later Classical period
In a stratigraphic sequence where layers usually succeed one another in a parallel sequence sometimes they are irregularly arranged in a way that the succession becomes inexplicable or even overturned.
This paper addresses the potential contribution of archaeological sites and finds from old excavations to the modern archaeological discourse and to improving modern urban life. The discussion is centred around Neolithic Katsambas, a Neolithic hamlet and its adjacent burial rockshelter, excavated by Stylianos Alexiou in the first half of the 1950’s.

An unfinished drop-shaped bead of rock crystal, found during the 2004 excavation season at the Bronze Age settlement of Koukonisi (Lemnos, Moudros gulf ) provides the opportunity to discuss, foremost, the concept and significance of unfinished artefacts as vehicles of particular “historical” information.
Αn autopsy of several Pylian Linear B tablets at the Prehistoric Collection of the National Archaeological Museum at Athens undertaken by the author in April and July 2008 resulted — inter alia — in the identification of a quasi-join between PY Fr 343+1213 and Fr 1209.
Ènoto che -qo-ro corrisponde a –πολος dalla radice indoeuropea *q*ol- che présenta l’apofonia qualitativa di *qwel-, cfr. πέλομαι (v. DELG, s. v.). Ι composti nominali in - πολος sono molto numerosi. Il problema è stato analizzato da vari studiosi.
La tavoletta TH Ft 140 présenta una somma da cui risulta che il sottomultiplo t del sistema / délie misure di capacità per arïdi ha il valore, rispetto all’unità di misura, di 1/12 e non di 1/10 come precedentemente definito in base a dati statistici.

La publication de la fouille de Kavkania et de l’inscription en linéaire B qu’elle a livrée a suscité une mauvaise querelle alimentée par un pseudo-mycénologue qui eût été mieux inspiré en publiant les actes d’un colloque qu’il avait organisé en 2000 à Austin (Texas) -et qui ne verront jamais le jour- ou encore en menant à terme la publication du corpus des inscriptions en linéaire B de Pylos qu’il s’était engagé à réaliser.
Il lessema a-nu~to ricorre nelle seguenti tavolette: KN X 658 v., As 1516.12; TH Z 863, 864, 865, A[961]; TH Fq 132.2,198.5, 236.2, 240.9, 241.9, 244.1, 254[+]255.io, 276.9; a-nu-to-jo è invece attestato in KN X 697.2. Viene considerato unanimemente un antroponimo.
Il n’existe qu’environ 150 vases (entiers ou, le plus souvent, fragmentaires) à étrier inscrits en linéaire B, alors que l’on a un nombre incalculable d’exemples anépigraphes de ce type de poterie.
On a déjà remarqué que. dans l’inscription (gravée sur un pithos) PE Zb 3 a-ka-ra ki-ta-na-si-ja-se HOMO+ZA, le -se final et l’idéogramme AB 100/102 = HOMO, en ligature avec AB 17/za, ont été ajoutés après coup par une autre main; on a ici, donc, l’alternance *ki-ta-na-si-ja/ki-ta-na-si-ja-se.
The aim of this paper is to propose an easy and useful classification of the Linear A tablets, starting with those from Haghia Triada because they represent the bulk of the Linear A tablets that we have (147 tablets or fragments).
During the 1952 excavation season at Ano Englianos, sixteen fragmentary Linear B tablets were found in the Megaron of the Palace of Nestor. These tablets were found throughout the red mudbrick destruction layer in the Megaron, leading Blegen and Rawson to conclude that the tablets had fallen from an upper story above the Megaron.
Prosopography has long played an important role in Mycenology. Because personal names account for a large proportion of the words found in the Linear B tablets, the activities of the individuals bearing those names can he studied in order to ascertain information about the members of Mycenaean society who populate the bureaucratic records
