Edited by Davide Tanasi & Nicholas C. Vella Monza 2011

Prehistoric Borġ in-Nadur, Malta The Bronze Age of the Maltese archipelago has long been overlooked by archaeologists whose attention has mostly been focused on the Late Neolithic temples. This book attempts to understand the islands’ Bronze Age society in the course of the second millennium BC by exploring the history of Borġ in-Nadur in south-east Malta.

Back to the Beginning: Reassessing Social and Political Complexity on Crete during the Early and Middle Bronze Age.

edited by Ilse Schoep, Peter Tomkins & Jan Driessen Oxford/Oakville 2012

Back to the Beginning: Reassessing Social and Political Complexity on Crete during the Early and Middle Bronze Age. Ever since their first discovery, more than a century ago, the Minoan Palaces have dominated scholarship on the Cretan Bronze Age. Opinion long held that their first appearance, seemingly at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, marked a pivotal transformation point, during which the simple, egalitarian societies of the Early Bronze Age were transformed into something significantly more complex, hierarchical and civilised.

Edited by Angelos Hadjikoumis, Erick Robinson & Sarah Viner Oxford/Oakville 2011

Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe. Studies in Honour of Andrew Sherratt Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe examines the development of early agriculture in Neolithic Europe, drawing on the work of the late Professor Andrew Sherratt. His untimely death coincided with an important period of research that moved beyond searching for singular causal mechanisms behind the ‘neolithisation’ of Europe in favour of developing a better understanding of the complex interrelationships of cultural, ecological, economic and social factors.

On Cooking Pots, Drinking Cups, Loomweights and Ethnicity in Bronze Age Cyprus and Neighbouring Regions (an International Archaeological Symposium held in Nicosia, November 6th-7th 2010) The Eastern Mediterranean has been a field of cultural interaction since early prehistoric times (11th mill.

For several geographical areas and chronological periods of Cretan history, tombs are the most abundant source of data.

Our Cups Are Full: Pottery and Society in the Aegean Bronze Age. Papers Presented to Jeremy B. Rutter on the Occasion of his 65th Birthday

Edited by Walter Gauss, Michael Lindblom, R.A.K. Smith & James C. Wright Oxford 2011

Our Cups Are Full: Pottery and Society in the Aegean Bronze Age. Papers Presented to Jeremy B. Rutter on the Occasion of his 65th Birthday Most of us first encounter Festschriften when in graduate school. In the seminar at Bryn Mawr they were all grouped together on several shelves. There I became accustomed to expect, upon opening one, to see a formal photograph of a mature to ageing scholar in a formal suit or dress. Nowadays we generally have dispensed with these formalities, in part because of our changing use of the camera and perception of what the image should convey.

LM IB Pottery. Relative Chronology and Regional Differences (2 vols)

Once upon a time – in early 2005 – when the Minoan Seminar was still under the auspices of the Danish Institute at Athens, Tom Brogan mentioned that it might be a good idea to have a workshop on LM IB pottery focusing on the disagreement and unsolved problems connected with recent excavations in East Crete.
