R.E. Taylor & Ofer Bar-Yosef Walnut Creek, California 2014

This volume represents a second edition of Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective, written in the late 1980s by the first author.

His long-standing and loyal support of the Canadian Institute in Greece and its mission reinforced the value of this plan.

The results of the Polis-Pyrgos Archaeological Project (PAP) have now been published in two volumes that present the work of an extensive field survey conducted over nearly a decade in the area of northwestern Cyprus - from the western bank of the Chrysochou River along the north coast of the island eastward to Kato Pyrgos.

Religion and Society in Middle Bronze Age Greece

Helène Whittaker New York 2014

The Middle Helladic period has received little attention, partially because of scholars’ view of it as merely the prelude to the Mycenaean period and partially because of the dearth of archaeological evidence from the period. In this book, Helène Whittaker demonstrates that Middle Helladic Greece is far more interesting than its material culture might at first suggest.

A Cretan Landscape through Time: Priniatikos Pyrgos and Environs

Edited by Barry P.C. Molloy & Chloë N. Duckworth Oxford 2014

Incorporating the Vrokastro Survey Project, the Istron Geoarchaeological Project, the Priniatikos Pyrgos Excavation Project and other researches, this volume presents interdisciplinary case-studies that deal with domestic, technological and mortuary practices at the site and how these relate to settlement and resource exploitation in the surrounding landscape.

The Archaeology of Mediterranean Landscapes. Human-Environment Interaction from the Neolithic to the Roman Period

Kevin Walsh New York 2014

This volume presents a comprehensive review of palaeoenvironmental evidence and its incorporation with landscape archaeology from across the Mediterranean. A fundamental aim of this book is to bridge the intellectual and methodological gaps between those with a background in archaeology and ancient history, and those who work in the palaeoenvironmental sciences.

Knossos. A Middle Minoan III Building in Bougadha Methochi

Giorgos Rethemiotakis & Peter M. Warren London 2014

From at least 1700 BC, and for several centuries thereafter, a city of substantial houses flanked the palace of Knossos in north-central Crete. Those immediately adjacent to it, like the Royal Villa or the South House, excavated by Sir Arthur Evans, are well known, as are the Little Palace and Unexplored Mansion to the north-west. In fact the whole lower western hill-slope (Bougadha Metochi, the modern village) was terraced with fine, ashlar masonry buildings, served by well-engineered paved roads.

L’art égéen 2. Mycènes et le monde mycénien

Jean-Claude Poursat Paris 2014

Ce second volume de l’histoire de l’art égéen est consacré à l’art mycénien, depuis son apparition en Grèce continentale, vers 1600 av. J.-C., jusqu’à la fin du deuxième millénaire, vers 1050-1000. L’art mycénien naît, à Mycènes en particulier, avec les œuvres prestigieuses des tombes à fosse puis s’affirme et se transforme, d’abord lorsque les Mycéniens s’installent en Crète, au palais de Cnossos, après 1450, puis lorsqu’ils édifient eux-mêmes, à partir de 1350, leurs propres palais à Mycènes, Tirynthe, Pylos et Thèbes.

Helen Dawson Walnut Creek, California 2014

1177 B.C. The Year Civilization Collapsed

Eric H. Cline Princeton/Oxford 2014

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the “Sea Peoples” invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades.

Food for Thought. Dietary habits in the Bronze Age city at Akrotiri, Thera (3200-1600 BC)

Christos G. Doumas Athens 2014

In this book an attempt is made to reconstruct the diet of the prehistoric Therans, primarily through the remains of foodstuffs found in the ruins at Akrotiri, but also indirectly from the depictions of plants and animals in vase-paintings and the wall-paintings.
