La costa occidentale dell’ Attica durante il Neolitico Finale e il Bronzo Antico: scelte insediative e rapporti con le Cicladi

Vasiliki Eleni Dimitriou In F. Longo, R. di Cesare & S. Privitera (eds) 2016. ΔΡΟΜΟΙ. Studi sul mondo antico offerti a Emanuele Greco dagli allievi della Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene, Atene-Paestum: 37-47.

Direct or indirect trade between the west coast of Attica and settlements in Attica itself and in the Cyclades are attested as early as the Final Neolithic. This moves the Aegean cultural koiné of BA II identified by Renfrew almost a thousand year back.

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age

Margaretha Kramer-Hajos New York

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age In this book, Kramer-Hajos examines the Euboean Gulf region in Central Greece to explain its flourishing during the postpalatial period. Providing a social and political history of the region in the Late Bronze Age, she focuses on the interactions between this “provincial” coastal area and the core areas where the Mycenaean palaces were located.

An Archaeology of Prehistoric Bodies & Embodied Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean

Edited by Maria Mina, Sevi Triantaphyllou & Yiannis Papadatos Oxford

An Archaeology of Prehistoric Bodies & Embodied Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean In these 28 thematically arranged papers, specialists in the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean confront the perceived invisibility of past bodies and ask new research questions. Contributors discuss new and old evidence; they examine how bodies intersect with the material world, and explore the role of body-situated experiences in creating distinct social and other identities.

Le cadre géographique et la présence humaine à l’époque prèhistoire

Haïdo Koukouli-Chrysanthaki In J. Fournier (ed.), 2016. Philippes, de la Préhistoire à Byzance (BCH Supplément 55), Athènes: 23-43.

Dans la seconde phase de l’Holocène, depuis 3000 av. J.-C. jusqu’à aujourd’hui, les modifications qui ont débuté au Bronze Récent, lorsque les activités humaines se sont peu à peu transportées en altitude, ont été plus rapides. Les changements environnementaux ont été plus nombreux et plus soutenus du IVe s. av. J.-C. jusqu’à l’Antiquité tardive, en raison de l’augmentation démographique et de la création de centres urbains.

This paper presents the results of physicochemical analysis (observation and microanalysis with SEM-EDX, XRD and FTIR spectroscopy) of selected samples, revealing the composition of the raw pigments material and their manufacturing technology. Significant information is gained on an important aspect of the technology and its evolution during this period, which until recently was regarded as one of the darkest periods of the prehistoric Aegean.

A comparative study of Cypriot bronzes dated to the Late Bronze and the Early Iron Age

Andreas Charalambous, Vasiliki Kassianidou & George Papasavvas In E. Photos-Jones, Y. Bassiakos, E. Filippaki, A. Hein, I. Karatasios, V. Kilikoglou & E. Kouloumpi (eds), 2016. Proceedings of the 6th Symposium of the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (Bar International Series 2780), Oxford: 95-99.

The sites under study are the area of the modem city of Limassol (a number of Late Bronze Age tombs situated in several areas of the city), the Late Bronze Age settlement of Pyla Kokkinokremos and the Early Iron Age cemetery of Palaepaphos Skales. This research intends to provide significant information primarily regarding the use of tin, as well as the presence and use of other metals, for the production of the bronze artefacts.

Copper production during the Early Bronze Age at Aghios Antonios, Potos on Thasos

Nerantzis Nerantzis & Stratis Papadopoulos In E. Photos-Jones, Y. Bassiakos, E. Filippaki, A. Hein, I. Karatasios, V. Kilikoglou & E. Kouloumpi (eds), 2016. Proceedings of the 6th Symposium of the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (Bar International Series 2780), Oxford: 89-94.

The unintentional formation of arsenical copper owing to the polymetallic nature of the utilized ores and the resulting effects on the produced metal would have caused a reorientation of procurement strategies and further treatment of raw materials thereof. Such a finding might be taken as an indication of potentially deliberate selection of arsenic bearing ores to co-smelt with malachite, both of which could be found on the island. The evidence from Aghios Antonios puts Thasos into the wider discussion concerning the nature of copper reduction and emergence of alloying technologies in the Early Bronze Age Aegean.
