In texts produced in the palace of Mari, some tablets list as 'Cretan' certain prestigious objects, such as leather goods, weapons and metal vases. Later texts from Ugarit mention Cretan merchants receiving tin in the course of their commercial activities.

Naxos, the largest Cycladic island, holds an important place in the history of research into the Early Cycladic civilization, as indicated by the large number of EC settlement and cemetery sites recorded. The bay of Panormos on the south-east coast of Naxos, is one of the safest natural harbors of the island offering protection, from the strong northerly winds. The importance of the area of Panormos during the EBA is revealed by a substantial number of EC I and EC II artifacts, made of clay, marble and copper, stored nowadays in the Apeiranthos Museum.

Είναι γνωστό ότι οι «βουβές» –αλλά στην πραγματικότητα «ομιλούσες»– εικόνες που μας διέσωσε η πλούσια αιγαιακή εικονογραφία της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού αποτέλεσαν έως τώρα τη μοναδική κατηγορία υποστηρικτικού πληροφοριακού υλικού στις όποιες προσπάθειές μας να «ανασυνθέσουμε» τις μινωικές θρησκευτικές τελετουργίες.

The Early Minoan tholos tomb at Krasi, thanks to the published stratigraphic data, provides a fertile ground for a narrative perspective on its sedimented sequences. It becomes feasible to trace the way the monument developed in time, spanning from its foundation in EMI to its last traced use in EMIII/MMΙA.

O Σπυρίδων Κ. Μαρινάτος, Προϊστάμενος, Γενικός Επιθεωρητής της Αρχαιολογικής Υπηρεσίας, καθηγητής τον Πανεπιστημίου και ακαδημαϊκός, έγινε παγκοσμίως γνωστός χάρη στην ανασκαφή του Ακρωτηρίου στην Θήρα, την οποία επισκέπτονται κάθε χρόνο οι μυριάδες των περιηγητών που έρχονται στην Ελλάδα.

The performance of funerary ritual is one of the hallmarks of the Mycenaean period. The materiality and performative aspects have often been lost in typologies and classificatory approaches concerned with the identity and status of the dead.

The pottery studied and presented here is both from Nikolaos Platon’s rescue excavation in 1961 and A. Karetsou’s and G. Rethemiotakis’s excavation in 1990. During the first period the excavator was able to locate three walls of a perivolos and concentrated on cleaning the prominent rock that protruded on one side of the perivolos and served as its west wall.

Over her career Susan Sherratt has questioned our basic assumptions in many areas of the later prehistory of the Mediterranean and Europe, deploying a canny eye for detail, but never losing sight of the big picture. Her collected works include contributions on the relationship between Homeric epic and archaeology; the economy of ceramics, metals and other materials; the status of the ‘Sea Peoples’ and other ethnic terminologies; routes and different forms of interaction; and the history of museums/collecting (especially relating to Sir Arthur Evans).

Kophinas, like all peak sanctuaries, has yielded large numbers of clay votive objects, particularly figurines. Genre, form and style are factors defining origin, choices, ideological background and behavioural patterns in cult of specific groups of votaries who frequented the site.
