Η ανασκαφή μιας ανασκαφής: Ο Νεολιθικός Κατσαμπάς μισόν αιώνα μετά την αποκάλυψή του (The excavation of an excavation: Neolithic Katsambas half a century since its discovery)

Νένα Γαλανίδου Anaskamma 5 (2011): 33-52.

This paper addresses the potential contribution of archaeological sites and finds from old excavations to the modern archaeological discourse and to improving modern urban life.

Ψήφος ημιτελής ή τι μας λέει ένα μικρό τέχνεργο από τον οικισμό της Χαλκοκρατίας στο Κουκονήσι της Λήμνου (Ψήφος ημιτελής: What is revealed through the study of a small artefact from the Bronze Age settlement of Koukonisi on Lemnos)

Χρήστος Μπουλώτης Anaskamma 5 (2011): 13-31.

Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe. Studies in Honour of Andrew Sherratt

Edited by Angelos Hadjikoumis, Erick Robinson & Sarah Viner Oxford/Oakville

Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe. Studies in Honour of Andrew Sherratt Dynamics of Neolithisation in Europe examines the development of early agriculture in Neolithic Europe, drawing on the work of the late Professor Andrew Sherratt. His untimely death coincided with an important period of research that moved beyond searching for singular causal mechanisms behind the ‘neolithisation’ of Europe in favour of developing a better understanding of the complex interrelationships of cultural, ecological, economic and social factors.

Two features of the Late Bronze Age Western Sector are of particular importance for understanding the disposition of the settlement of Keos and the way it was reorganised in Periods VI (= LH I) and VII (= LH II).

Considérations sur quelques inscriptions en linéaire A

Orazio Monti Kadmos 49 (2011): 39-45.

On a déjà remarqué que. dans l’inscription (gravée sur un pithos) PE Zb 3 a-ka-ra ki-ta-na-si-ja-se HOMO+ZA, le -se final et l’idéogramme AB 100/102 = HOMO, en ligature avec AB 17/za, ont été ajoutés après coup par une autre main; on a ici, donc, l’alternance *ki-ta-na-si-ja/ki-ta-na-si-ja-se.
