This pioneering volume approaches the languages and scripts of ancient Cyprus from an interdisciplinary point of view, with a primarily linguistic and epigraphic approach supplemented by a consideration of their historical and cultural context.
The idea of publishing a collective volume on the archaeological sites and monuments of Corinthia was born of the need to fill the gap existing in the relevant bibliography. However, our concern was not to write a run-of-the-mill tourist guidebook, like those on sale to visitors in the museums, but to present the monuments and their history in such a way as to enhance Corinthia's outstanding place in the ancient world.
Sono passati fino ad oggi 105 anni da quando, nel 1906, "per la prima volta il trico-lore italiano e stato alzato sulla Patela di Priniàs", come annotava sul suo taccuino Luigi Pernier non senza un fondo di facile nazionalismo, che allora però, in un momento nel quale l'Italia cercava di guadagnare un suo posto nel contesto internazionale, era storicamente giustificabile.
Excavations at Late Neolithic Toumba Kremastis Koiladas, near the modern town of Kozani in north-western Greece, have yielded one of the largest faunal assemblages of this period from Greece (and probably also from Europe).
«Dans sa recherche sur l’histoire des hommes, il combinait les données de l’archéologie et du droit : pour comprendre une société et ses règles, n’y a-t-il pas nécessité de connaître les contraintes techniques qui s’imposaient à elle autant que la nature des rapports entre ses membres et des lois qui les réglementaient?»

Τhis monograph examines the settlement history of a small island off the coast of southeast Crete and its exploitation by the settlements in the southern part of the Ierapetra Isthmus. Recent archaeological discoveries by the 24th Ephorea on Chryssi Island led to an intensive survey that uncovered numerous sites, dating from the Final Neolithic to the Ottoman period.
Tombs are an important source for reconstructing ancient social structures. The region of Messenia in south-western Peloponnese was a centre of the Middle and Late Helladic culture (2100/2000–1200 BC). Basis of the present study of tombs in Messenia is a catalogue of 57 find-spots with about 240 tombs.
Situated between the worlds of the Near East, Europe and Africa, the archaeology and culture of Cyprus are central to an understanding of the ancient Mediterranean world. This book treats the archaeology of Cyprus from the first-known human presence during the Late Epipalaeolithic (ca. 11,000 BC) through the end of the Bronze Age (ca. 1000 BC).
In this book, Thomas F. Tartaron presents a new and original reassessment of the maritime world of the Mycenaean Greeks of the Late Bronze Age. By all accounts a seafaring people, they enjoyed maritime connections with peoples as distant as Egypt and Sicily.
