Αντίδωρο στην Άννα Αποστολάκι. Η ζωή, το έργο και η συνεισφορά της. Πρακτικά Επιστημονικής Ημερίδας, Αθήνα, 24 Νοεμβρίου 2015

Edited by Andromachi Economou & Vasiliki Florou Athens 2017

Αντίδωρο στην Άννα Αποστολάκι. Η ζωή, το έργο και η συνεισφορά της. Πρακτικά Επιστημονικής Ημερίδας, Αθήνα, 24 Νοεμβρίου 2015 H αρχαιολόγος και λαογράφος Άννα Αποστολάκι (1881-1958) ήταν πρωτοπόρα μορφή της ελληνικής επιστήμης: μια από τις πρώτες φοιτήτριες του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών, από τις πρώτες γυναίκες μέλος πολλών επιστημονικών φορέων και η πρώτη γυναίκα διευθύντρια μουσείου στην Ελλάδα. Η σταδιοδρομία της έχει έναν παραδειγματικό χαρακτήρα: αντικατοπτρίζει όλες τις δυσκολίες και αγκυλώσεις που κλήθηκαν να αντιμετωπίσουν οι γυναίκες της εποχής της στην προσπάθειά τους να σταδιοδρομήσουν και να αναλάβουν έναν πιο ενεργό ρόλο στην κοινωνία και στην επιστήμη.

Du massif de l’Ida aux pentes du mont Diktè. Peuples, territoires et communautés en Messara du XIIIe au VIIe siècle avant J.-C.

Daniela Lefèvre-Novaro  Paris 2014

Du massif de l’Ida aux pentes du mont Diktè. Peuples, territoires et communautés en Messara du XIIIe au VIIe siècle avant J.-C. Tout en tenant compte des nouveautés apparues au cours de cette période charnière, on remarque une forte continuité de l’âge du bronze à l’âge du fer, y compris d’un point de vue linguistique, comme en témoignent les inscriptions d’Ini. Au fil des siècles, les habitants de la Messara et des montagnes environnantes, qui ont su développer une économie florissante fondée sur l’agricul-ture, l’élevage et l’artisanat, se sont mélangés aux nouveaux arrivants (Mycéniens du continent, «Doriens», Levantins), en donnant ainsi naissance à une culture où la tradition et les nouveaux apports coexistent et se mélangent au cœur de l’une des régions les plus fertiles de Crète.

Egialea. Ricerche nella Valle del Krios

Angela Pontrandolfo in collaborazione con Michalis Petropoulos & Athanasios D. Rizakis Rome 2016

Egialea. Ricerche nella Valle del Krios The institutions decided to start a systematic survey of the Eastern part of the territory now corresponding to the ancient Aegialeia and, since the area between Aigeira and Pellene belongs today to Corinthia, the investigation began from the valley of the Krios, which flows on the west of Aigeira. This volume is a collection of the results of surveys and intrasite excavations conducted in the first four years in the areas corresponding to the theoretical transects that concern both sides of the low and middle valley of the river.

Akrotiri. The Archaeological Site and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera

Christos G. Doumas Athens 2018

Akrotiri. The Archaeological Site and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera Fifty years of systematic excavation, scientific research, study and conservation measures have revealed the history of the settlement at Akrotiri and the cultural achievements of the society that lived there. At the height of its prosperity, the cosmopolitan city one of the most important urban centres in the prehistoric Aegean, was struck by an earthquake that heralded the eruption of the Thera volcano, which buried it for posterity under a thick mantle of pumice and ash. The ruined buildings, the thousands of objects recovered from them and the remarkable wall-paintings that decorated them give us an insight into the daily life, the aesthetics and the ideology of the ‘bourgeois’ inhabitants of this once thriving port.

Ο μυκηναϊκός οικισμός Διμηνίου. 1977-1997. 20 χρόνια ανασκαφής

Vasiliki Adrymi-Sismani Volos 2013

Ο μυκηναϊκός οικισμός Διμηνίου. 1977-1997. 20 χρόνια ανασκαφής The target of this book is dual: first, it presents the findings of the archaeological excavations, during these two decades, as well as the results obtained from the relevant studies (architecture, pottery, small finds); secondly, it attempts to demonstrate the diachronic role of the Bronze Age settlement at Dimini, not only in the adjacent geographical area, especially in relation to the other two, well-known contemporary sites in the Pagasetic Gulf (Kastro Volou/Palia and Pefkakia), but also in the wider area of Bronze Age Thessaly, in an attempt to highlight inter-settlement economic and sociopolitical relations.

How Long is a Century? Late Minoan IIIB Pottery. Relative Chronology and Regional Differences

Edited by Charlotte Langohr Louvain-la-Neuve 2017

How Long is a Century? Late Minoan IIIB Pottery. Relative Chronology and Regional Differences Covering approximately the century between 1300 and 1200 BC, the Late Minoan IIIB phase remains a blurred episode of Minoan civilisation. Archaeological data present a contradictory picture: on the one hand, they suggest a time of prosperity, with favourable conditions of subsistence and growth; on the other hand, there are signs of trouble illustrated by a series of abandonments of century-old occupied settlements.

Gavin McGuire Oxford 2017

Minoan Extractions. A Photographic Journey 2009-2016.

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age

Margaretha Kramer-Hajos New York 2016

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age Drawing on network and agency theory, two current and highly effective methodologies in prehistoric Mediterranean archaeology, Kramer-Hajos argues that the Euboean Gulf region thrived when it was part of a decentralized coastal and maritime network, and declined when it was incorporated in a highly centralized mainland-looking network. Her research and analysis contributes new insights to our understanding of the mechanics and complexity of the Bronze Age Aegean collapse.

Metaphysis. Ritual, Myth and Symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age

Edited by Eva Alram-Stern, Fritz Blakolmer, Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy, Robert Laffineur & Jörg Weilhartner Leuven-Liege 2016

Metaphysis. Ritual, Myth and Symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age At the METAPHYSIS conference a large range of issues of ritual, myth and symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age were addressed, such as ritual places and ritual landscapes, sacral and sepulchral rituals, social and political ceremonies, ritual acts and performances, the supernatural realm, liminality, irrationality and magic, mythology, hybrid creatures, heroes/heroines, divinities, symbols, emblems and iconography, images of power, and cosmology. Thus, META-PHYSIS was dedicated to the complex relationship between humans and ‘the other’ - the broad scholarly interface between a popular ritual belief and the cult of deities, i.e. religion in its proper sense.
