Guy D. R. Sanders, Sarah A. James, Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst & James Herbst Hesperia 83:1 (January-March 2014), 1-79

This article is a synthetic discussion of the Neolithic through Hellenistic phases of the Panayia Field excavated by the American School of Classical Studies between 1995 and 2007. The Late Neolithic to Early Helladic II periods are represented by pottery and other finds from a layer of alluvium that was deposited across the site.

KE-RA-ME-JA. Studies Presented to Cynthia W. Shelmerdine

Edited by Dimitris Nakassis, Joan Gulizio & Sarah A. James Philadelphia/Pennsylvania

KE-RA-ME-JA. Studies Presented to Cynthia W. Shelmerdine The title of this volume, ke-ra-me-ja, is a woman's name that appears only once in the extant Mycenaean documentation, on Knossos Ap 639, a catalog of named women. We chose it because it means "potter" (Κεράμεια, from Greek κέραμος, "potter's clay") and combines two major strands of Cynthia Shelmerdine's many scholarly pursuits

The Early Helladic II–III transition at Lerna and Tiryns revisited: Chronological difference or synchronous variability?

Erika Weiberg & Michael Lindblom Hesperia 83:3 (July-September 2014), 383-407

Lerna and the Lower Citadel of Tiryns are key sites for understanding the Early Helladic II–III transition in the northeastern Peloponnese. We argue that the differences between the two settlements do not reflect chronological variation, but rather the ways in which each settlement responded to events ca. 2200 b.c.
