The Prehistory of the Island of Kythnos (Cyclades, Greece) and the Mesolithic settlement at Maroulas

Adamantios Sampson, Malgorzata Kaczanowska & Janus K. Kozlowski Krakow 2010

The Prehistory of the Island of Kythnos (Cyclades, Greece) and the Mesolithic settlement at Maroulas Kythnos with the neighbouring island of Keos is one of the islands of the Cyclades located closely to continental Greece. It is situated at a distance of 60 miles from Piraeus, but it is very close to Cape Sounion.

New Light on the Bronze Age Ceramics from H. Schliemann’s Excavations at Troy: Studies on the Munich and Poznań Collections within the Anatolian-Aegean Cultural Context

Dariusz Maliszewski Oxford 2010

New Light on the Bronze Age Ceramics from H. Schliemann’s Excavations at Troy: Studies on the Munich and Poznań Collections within the Anatolian-Aegean Cultural Context The geographical position of Troy at the cross-roads between Anatolia, the Aegean, Black and Marmara Seas, as well as the eastern Balkans, has made it a focal point of cultural, economic and political relations for these regions. One aspect of this huge, multidimensional subject, being investigated for many years, is the collections of artefacts from H. Schliemann's excavations in Troy kept at many museums.

From Minos to Midas: Ancient Cloth Production in the Aegean and in Anatolia

Brendan Burke Oxford 2010

From Minos to Midas: Ancient Cloth Production in the Aegean and in Anatolia Textile production was of greater value and importance to people in the past than any other social craft activity: everyone depended on cloth. As with other craft goods, such as pottery, metal objects, or ivory carving, the large-scale production and exchange of textiles required specialization and some degree of centralization.

The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece: Current Status and Future Prospects

Vangelis Tourloukis Leiden 2010

The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece: Current Status and Future Prospects Although the Greek Peninsula lies within a core area of early hominin movements between Africa and Europe but also within Eurasia itself, the Lower Palaeolithic record of Greece remains as yet extremely poor. Choosing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subject in the Eurasian Early-Middle Pleistocene archaeology: the role of geomorphic processes in biasing archaeological distribution patterns of early human presence.

B.C. 2060] to the Protogeometric Phase [early 1st mill. B.C.].
