This volume is designed as a wide-ranging analysis of ceramic standardization and variation, and as a contribution to pottery studies in the Mediterranean and beyond.
Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete.

Space and Time in Mediterranean Prehistory addresses these two concepts as interrelated, rather than as separate categories, and as a means for understanding past social relations at different scales. The need for this volume was realised through four main observations: the ever growing interest in space and spatiality across the social sciences;

Although many books focus on the fascinating story of Heinrich Schliemann, little has been written on Mycenae before his excavations. This book, therefore, fills this gap. It looks at the English-speaking pioneers who visited the citadel at Mycenae before Schliemann, providing additional biographic references in the footnotes (and bibliography and associated sources).

Throughout the local Bronze and Iron Age, European and Mediterranean societies appear to have been involved in complex systems of exchange networks which invariably affected local customs and historical developments.
Ο παρών συλλογικός τόμος, ο πρώτος σε μια σειρά τόμων, που προγραμματίζονται για τα επόμενα χρόνια, περιλαμβάνει συμβολές, πέραν αυτών του υπογραφομένου, συνεργατών της εκπαιδευτικής-ερευνητικής ανασκαφής του Πανεπιστημίου Ιωαννίνων, η οποία διενεργείται συστηματικά, υπό την αιγίδα και με σταθερή χρηματοδότηση του Πανεπιστημίου και με τη συμπαράσταση της Τοπικής Αυτοδιοίκησης, σε περιοχές της νότιας Σαλαμίνος, από το 1997 (είχε αρχίσει ως ανασκαφική έρευνα από τον υπογραφόμενο στο ιστορικό σπήλαιο –Σπήλαιο Ευριπίδη- στα Περιστέρια Σαλαμίνος το 1994).
My participation from 2006 until today in the archaeological excavation conducted by the University of Athens’ Department of Archaeology and History of Art at the Mycenaean settlement and cemetery at the site of Lazarides on Aegina, under the direction of professor N. Polychronakou-Sgouritsa, was the starting point for my involvement in this issue.

What is the social role of images and architecture in a pre-modern society? How were they used to create adequate environments for specific profane and ritual activities? In which ways did they interact with each other? These and other crucial issues on the social significance of imagery and built structures in Neopalatial Crete were the subject of a workshop which took place on November 16th, 2009 at the University of Heidelberg.

Linear B is the earliest form of writing used for Greek. The tablets written in this script offer crucial information about the Mycenaean Greeks and their time. This Companion aims at not only summarizing the results of current research but also trying to explain the problems which arise from the study of the texts and the methods which can be used to solve them.
The Mediterranean has been for millennia one of the global cockpits of human endeavor. World-class interpretations exist of its Classical and subsequent history, but there has been remarkably little holistic exploration of how its societies, culture and economies first came into being, despite the fact that almost all the fundamental developments originated well before 500 BC.
In this three-volume work, Theodoros Spyropoulos, Emeritus Ephor of Antiquities, Sparta, presents his significant excavation research at Pellana located 25 kilometers north of Sparta, Laconia. The excavation begun in 1980 and continued for approximately 25 years.
This work represents the first comprehensive account of all the deposits and structures uncovered over the past hundred years on the three hills of the Phaistos ridge (in south-central Crete), and also the first attempt to clarify the nature of the site – in terms of function and status – from its foundation at the end of the Neolithic period through the Early Bronze Age.
The material presented here is derived from an extensive survey conducted by the Polis-Pyrgos Archaeological Project (PAP) in 1992–1994, 1996–1997, and 1999 in the area between the western bank of the Chrysochou River and Kato Pyrgos in northwestern Cyprus.

In recent years a range of formal methods of spatial analysis have been developed for the study of human engagement, experience and socialisation within the built environment. Many, although not all, of these emanate from the fields of architectural and urban studies, and draw upon social theories of space that lay emphasis on the role of visibility, movement, and accessibility in the built environment.
