Abstract
The book presents that part of the prehistoric settlement of Orchomenos in Boeotia which has remained unpublished until now, despite the recognition of its importance.
In the introductory section of the volume the research conducted thus far on the settlement and its natural surroundings is presented; the Copais region where the gradual exploitation of natural resources created the necessary means for the design of the major drainage works in the Mycenaean period.
The main aim of the publication is the analysis of the Middle Helladic pottery from Orchomenos, and its comparison to other more recent acquired data from other known sites of the Middle Bronze Age. Factors such as shape, local production and its individualized characteristics, imported categories, while quantitative comparisons of the different groups are also presented. Particular emphasis is given to the historiography of the study of Middle Helladic pottery and the development of the terminology of each type as well as the decorative styles of Mainland Greece. Through the use of the notebooks of the excavations in 1903, 1905 and 1929, there is an attempt to reconstruct the stratigraphy of the Middle Helladic settlement, while a different interpretation of the funerary complex is given.
The volume is written in German, but extensive summaries are provided in both English and Greek.
