This book presents the publication of Building 1, the first building we excavated (in the years 1986-89) and surely once the finest in its day. It is not the first volume in the series, and indeed follows the publication of the partially excavated Building 2, and Block M/Building 6.
Although architecture provides a decisive framework for many forms of social interaction, thus preconfiguring them, and simultaneously represents an expression and hence a product of social conventions, few connections have thus far been made between the scholarly study of architecture and the social history of Mycenaean Greece.
Die mykenische Kultur gilt als erste Hochkultur auf dem europäischen Festland. Auf der griechischen Halbinsel Peloponnes und in Mittelgriechenland erlebte sie ihren Höhepunkt zwischen 1600 und 1200 v. Chr. Heinrich Schliemann entdeckte ab 1874 durch seine Ausgrabungen in Mykene, Tiryns und Orchomenos diese prähistorische Kultur.
Die minoischen Paläste waren multifunktionale Zentren, denen auch in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht eine grundlegende Bedeutung zukam. Der Begriff der Redistribution war bisher prägend zur Beschreibung der minoischen Wirtschaft: Man ging davon aus, dass Güter an zentraler Stelle gesammelt und sodann an die Bevölkerung zurückverteilt wurden – auch Grundnahrungsmittel.

Today archaeometric approaches to pottery are commonly utilised in Aegean Bronze Age archaeology. Pottery experts in the Aegean are now able to use various methods based on a well-established scientific framework and comparable data. This state-of-the-art interdisciplinary approach to Aegean ceramics produces a large amount of new and complex data, used by specialists and non-specialists for interpretations about socio-cultural phenomena.
The objective of this volume is a theoretical debate on the archaeology at the crossroads of the Balkans, the Aegean and Anatolia and its interrelation with social and political life in this historically turbulent region. Modern political borders still divide European archaeology and intercept research.

The monograph contains the primary publication of the seals (S1–S16), sealings (N1–N75) and stamped objects (I1–I3) retrieved at the Bronze Age site of Akrotiri in Thera.
