Mycenaean pottery from Pylos: An indigenous typology
American Journal of Archaeology 114.2 (April 2010): 195-216.
The pantries (Rooms 18–22) of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos provide an ideal opportunity to study the ways in which the Mycenaeans themselves classified their pottery. This is because the material is extensive, varied, well preserved, largely contemporaneous, and was shelved by type.Review of Function and Ethnicity: ‘Bathtubs’ from Late Bronze Age Cyprus

Shima: The International Journal of Research into Island Cultures 4.1 (2010): 16-26.

Shima: The International Journal of Research into Island Cultures 4.1 (2010): 82-98.
This paper explores the relations between island settlement, identity and sense of place in the prehistoric Mediterranean. It uses modern examples and archaeological case studies to discuss the effects of colonisation and abandonment on island communities and the creation of distinctive identities as a form of cultural resistance.Volcanoes, ice-cores and tree-rings: one story or two?
Antiquity 84, No. 323 (March 2010): 202–215.
Good archaeology relies on ever more precise dates – obtainable, notably, from ice-cores and dendrochronology. These each provide year-by-year sequences, but they must be anchored at some point to real historical time, by a documented volcanic eruption, for example. But what if the dating methods don't agree?The Prehistoric Stones of Greece: a resource of archaeological surveys and sites
Antiquity 84, No. 323 (March 2010): online article.
The Prehistoric Stones of Greece (SOG) project began in 2005. Our main focus was chipped stone dated to the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, but the project required us to collate for the first time in a standardised way, all the archaeological field surveys undertaken in Greece and the findspots and sites located. Published and unpublished sources were assembled, the latter including a variety of materials supplied by survey directors such as project daily record sheets, annotated maps and notebooks. The whole database is now publically available online.Reconstructing Late Bronze Age diet in mainland Greece using stable isotope analysis
Journal of Archaeological Science 37.3 (March 2010): 614-620.
The Late Bronze Age is a period of great importance in prehistoric Greece, due to the rise of the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations. Settlements, palatial complexes and cemeteries have been excavated whilst a plethora of findings among which wall paintings and artifacts provided a large amount of information regarding the period.A provenance study of Mycenaean pottery from Northern Israel
Journal of Archaeological Science 37.2 (February 2010): 409-416.
The occurrence of imported Mycenaean pottery in the Late Bronze Age southern Levant is one of the most conspicuous aspects of Eastern Mediterranean trade connections during this period. A group of 183 Mycenaean pottery vessels from 14 sites in northern Israel, from both coastal and inland settlement contexts were analyzed by Neutron Activation Analysis.Review of Asine III: Supplementary Studies on the Swedish Excavations 1922-1930.
