An Island between Two Worlds. The Archaeology of Euboea from Prehistoric to Byzantine Times. Proceedings of International Conference, Eretria, 12-14 July 2013 The island of Euboea has always acted as a bridge connecting mainland Greece to the wider Aegean and the Mediterranean world; its archaeological importance was an acknowledged but often understated fact. Euboea, a region with an identity crisis, at the same time considered an island but also a part of the mainland, due to its geographical and cultural proximity, has for millennia played an important role in events that shaped aspects of Greek antiquity.

Staging Death. Funerary Performance, Architecture and Landscape in the Aegean

Edited by Anastasia Dakouri-Hild & Michael J. Boyd Berlin/Boston 2016

Staging Death. Funerary Performance, Architecture and Landscape in the Aegean Places are social, lived, ideational landscapes constructed by people as they inhabit their natural and built environment. An ‘archaeology of place’ attempts to move beyond the understanding of the landscape as inert background or static fossil of human behaviour. From a specifically mortuary perspective, this approach entails a focus on the inherently mutable, transient and performative qualities of ‘deathscapes’: how they are remembered, obliterated, forgotten, reworked, or revisited over time.

Edited by Harald Meller, Hans Peter Hahn, Reinhard Jung & Roberto Risch Halle (Saale) 2016

Arm und Reich – Zur Ressourcenverteilung in prähistorischen Gesellschaften The question of “Rich and Poor”, in other words of social inequality is, as shown by a glance at the newspapers, a highly topical issue. At the same time it is one of the fundamental questions of human communities.

Edited by Nicoletta Momigliano & Alexandre Farnoux London/New York 2016

Archaeodiet in the Greek World: Dietary Reconstruction from Stable Isotope Analysis

Edited by Anastasia Papathanasiou, Michael P. Richards & Sherry C. Fox Princeton/New Jersey 2015

Archaeodiet in the Greek World: Dietary Reconstruction from Stable Isotope Analysis The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that were actually consumed. The chapters that comprise this volume describe the application of this methodology to the archaeology of Greece, a country whose archaeobotanical remains have been isotopically studied more extensively than any other place in the world.

The Pottery from Dhaskalio

Peggy Sotirakopoulou Cambridge 2016

The Pottery from Dhaskalio This volume treats in detail the pottery from the settlement on the islet of Dhaskalio, whose excavation is described in Volume I of the series. Much of the importance of this material lies in the undisturbed stratigraphy of the settlement, a fact that allowed for the recognition of three successive phases of occupation of the site with considerable ceramic continuity between them, as well as for safe inferences about its chronology, with wider implications for the later Εarly Βronze Αge of the Cyclades.

Tools, Textiles and Contexts. Investigating Textile Production in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age

Edited by Eva Andersson Strand & Marie-Louise Nosch Oxford & Philadelphia 2015

Tools, Textiles and Contexts. Investigating Textile Production in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age Textile production is one of the most important crafts in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age societies and recent interdisciplinary and collaborative work offers crucial new perspectives into this field. The new and updated catalogue of archaeological textile finds presented here clearly demonstrates, even from the few extant finds, that knowledge of the use of fibres and of elaborate textile techniques that were used to produce textiles of different qualities was well developed.
