Η Νάξος στις αρχές της πρώτης χιλιετίας πΧ. κατοικήθηκε από Ίωνες και σεβόμενη το μυκηναϊκό της παρελθόν, όπως μαρτυρούν τα ανασκαφικά στοιχεία που ήλθαν στο φως στην περιοχή της σημερινής μητρόπολης στη Χώρα, αναπτύχθηκε σε ένα σπουδαίο πολιτικοπολιτιστικό κέντρο στον χώρο του κεντρικού Αιγαίου.

This paper explores the full potential of archaeobotanical research in the investigation of issues such as agricultural practices and resource management and mobilisation in shaping the social dynamics of Neolithic and Bronze Age Crete, through a synthesis for the first time of all available archaeobotanical information to date.

This paper offers diachronic observations on the character and role of warfare and violence in the societies of Bronze Age Crete in light of recent developments in the study of warfare in prehistory. The main emphasis is on the functional properties of weapons and how these related to combat practices from the perspective of individual combatants rather than the macro-perspective of armies and tactics.

A medium-size Amenhotep III scarab recently discovered in the excavations at Tel Beth-Shemesh, Israel, together with two decorated Late Minoan IIIA1 cups enables a fresh look at the synchronism between Late Minoan IIIA1 and Amenhotep III.

Two Late Minoan IIIA1 cups were recently found in the excavations at Tel Beth-Shemesh, Israel. They were part of a larger assemblage of local Late Bronze IIA (first half of the fourteenth century bc) drinking and eating vessels sealed under a destruction layer in one room of a large edifice, presumably a ‘palace’.

Όπως είχαμε παρουσιάσει στα προηγούμενα Σιφναϊκά Συμπόσια και άλλου, η ακρόπολη του Αγίου Ανδρέα, της οποίας είχε ανασκάψει στο παρελθόν μικρό τμήμα ο Χρήστος Τσούντας και μεγαλύτερο η Βαρβάρα Φιλιππάκη, στο τέλος της δεκαετίας του 1990 ήταν πλήρης από τους λιθοσωρούς των αρχαίων κτισμάτων, τη σύγχρονη καλλιέργεια και τα μπάζα των ανασκαφών, ενώ το δάσος με τις φίδες είχε επεκταθεί καλύπτοντας τα ορατά ή ανασκαφέντα ερείπια.

The manner in which Minoan potters first employed the pottery wheel has become a matter of some debate. A growing body of work has taken a sceptical approach to the transition from hand-building to wheel-throwing techniques in a number of contexts, finding that the idea of a technological transition of this nature is not supported by the ceramic evidence.

Στο φάσμα των μορφών ζωής τα ερπετά κατέχουν τη δική τους θέση. Τα χαρακτηριστικά τους, όπως προέκυψαν από τη διαδικασία της εξέλιξης, τα κάνουν να υπολείπονται αρκετά σε φυσικά όπλα από άλλα χερσαία ζώα. Αυτό σημαίνει μικρή δυνατότητα αντίστασης σε εχθρούς, αλλά η ανάγκη της επιβίωσης είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα άλλα χαρίσματα και δυνάμεις ως αντιστάθμισμα, όπως είναι οι διανοητικές, στοιχείο κοινό με τον άνθρωπο.

Warfare has been of concern to Aegean prehistorians since the birth of the discipline, yet few studies have attempted to place warfare in its full social context. For decades the societies of the region have been described as 'chiefdoms' or 'states' in accordance with neoevolutionary typologies.

This paper reviews the cultural practice of intramural burials for infants in Greece, making reference to parallel practices in Anatolia, the Levant and Egypt. This age-old and widespread custom began with the earliest settled communities in the Near East and continued through the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age.

Radiocarbon dating of plant remains is often difficult due to the complete dissolution of the samples in the alkaline step of the ABA pretreatment. At the VERA laboratory, this problem was encountered frequently when numerous Bronze and Early Iron Age samples from the eastern Mediterranean were dated in the course of the special research program SCIEM2000 and in other collaborations with archaeologists focused on that area and time period.

Theopetra Cave is a unique prehistoric site for Greece, as the Middle and Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods are present here, bridging the Pleistocene with the Holocene. During the more than 20 yr of excavation campaigns, charcoal samples from hearths suitable for 14C dating were collected from all anthropogenic layers, including the Paleolithic ones.

We investigate intrasite patterns of artifacts and floral and faunal data to interpret household and community behavior at the Middle Cypriot (Bronze Age) village of Politiko-Troullia in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus.

Archaeologists studying Late Bronze and Iron Age Cyprus have produced diverse theories regarding the origins of the Cypriot Iron Age city kingdoms, but it has proved difficult to integrate Cyprus within larger models designed to evaluate relationships between communities of the East Mediterranean.

Cypriot Bichrome Wheel-made Ware is an important index for the study of interrelations in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean World. The ware is a chronological marker for the beginning of the Late Cypriot Bronze Age and was the subject of a research project during the last decade within the Cyprus project of SCIEM 2000.
