John Bintliff, Emeri Farinetti, Božidar Slapšak & Antony Snodgrass Cambridge 2017

Boeotia Project, Volume II: The City of Thespiai.

From Maple to Olive: Proceedings of a Colloquium to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Institute in Greece. Athens, 10–11 June 2016

Edited by David W. Rupp & Jonathan E. Tomlinson Athens 2017

From Maple to Olive: Proceedings of a Colloquium to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Institute in Greece. Athens, 10–11 June 2016 In the 1990s, there were times when it appeared as though the then Canadian Archaeological Institute at Athens would not see the light of the new millennium. In 2015, with the now Canadian Institute in Greece’s 40th anniversary of its official recognition as one of the foreign archaeological schools and institutes by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture fast approaching, the authors thought it would be appropriate to celebrate this achievement with a colloquium.

Settlement and Land Use on the Periphery.

Die goldenen Siegelringen der Ägäischen Bronzezeit

Nadine Becker Heidelberg 2018

Die goldenen Siegelringen der Ägäischen Bronzezeit The aim of the present work is to present a comprehensive survey of the genre of Minoan and Mycenaean signet rings in its chronological, technical and iconographic development. The study of the material faces two main problems: First, seal images of supposedly religious content have always been a vividly discussed subject of research, while signet rings with allegedly lesser pictographical potential were (and still are) significantly underrepresented in the literature.

The Earliest Production of Aegean-Type Pottery in Cyprus

Giampaolo Graziadio Pisa 2017

The Earliest Production of Aegean-Type Pottery in Cyprus The outstanding feature of the shape of the three-handled jars which are the primary focus of this study (Shapes 46 and 47 in Furumark’s classification) is the conical or biconical body, sometimes with a rather angular shoulder. Probably used as ointment containers, these three-handled jars were relatively common in Cypriot tombs, especially at Enkomi, but no small jars of these shapes have been found in the Aegean.
