Cutting-edge technology and knowhow of Minoans/Myceneans during LBA and possible implications for the dating of the Trojan war

In the present paper, the material evidence, in LBA, both for the technological level of Minoan/Mycenaean Greece, mainland-islands-Crete, and the image emerging from the archaeological finds of the wider area of Asia Minor, Land of Ḫatti, Cyprus, and Egypt, are combined in order to draw conclusions regarding international relations and exchanges.

Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation

Nature Communications 7 (open access)

Caldera-forming eruptions of island volcanoes generate tsunamis by the interaction of different eruptive phenomena with the sea. Such tsunamis are a major hazard, but forward models of their impacts are limited by poor understanding of source mechanisms.
