Koukounaries, Paros. The Excavations and History of a Most Ancient Aegean Acropolis It is with great pleasure that I accepted the invitation to present this handsome book about the ancient acropolis of Koukounaries on Paros. A first account about a rare Aegean acropolis, it contains the result of meticulous and systematic excavations carried out between 1976 and 1992 by Demetrius -Umberto Schilardi, Ephor of Antiquities, Emeritus, and his collaborators. Koukounaries is considered one of the most ancient acropolis sites in the Aegean.

Magoúla-Pavlína. A Middle Bronze Age site in the Soúrpi Plain (Thessaly, Greece) This volume is devoted to Magoúla Pavlína, a Middle Bronze Age site in the municipality of Almirós (Thessalía, Greece). Immediately after the magoúla was brought under cultivation and ploughed for the first time, in 1996, the site was surveyed and a sample of ceramics, lithics, molluscs and bone material was collected.

Early Bronze Age Troy: Chronology, Cultural Development, and Interregional Contacts. Proceedings of an International Conference held at the University of Tübingen, May 8-10, 2009

Edited by Ernst Pernicka, Sinan Ünlüsöy & Stephan W. E. Blum Bonn 2016

Early Bronze Age Troy: Chronology, Cultural Development, and Interregional Contacts. Proceedings of an International Conference held at the University of Tübingen, May 8-10, 2009 Troy has been of outstanding importance for EBA archaeology ever since the discovery and excavation of the site by Heinrich Schliemann. Partly due to the paucity of archaeological research on EBA Anatolia, Troy has long been considered as the only key site for Western Anatolia and the Northern Aegean.

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

Margaretha Kramer-Hajos Cambridge 2016

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. Drawing on network and agency theory, two current and highly effective methodologies in prehistoric Mediterranean archaeology, Kramer-Hajos argues that the Euboean Gulf region thrived when it was part of a decentralized coastal and maritime network, and declined when it was incorporated in a highly centralized mainland-looking network.

Human Mobility and Technological Transfer in the Prehistoric Mediterranean

Edited by Evangelia Kiriatzi & Carl Knappett Cambridge 2016

Human Mobility and Technological Transfer in the Prehistoric Mediterranean The diverse forms of regional connectivity in the ancient world have recently become an important focus for those interested in the deep history of globalisation. This volume represents a significant contribution to this new trend as it engages thematically with a wide range of connectivities in the later prehistory of the Mediterranean, from the later Neolithic of northern Greece to the Levantine Iron Age, and with diverse forms of materiality, from pottery and metal to stone and glass.

Maritime Transport Containers in the Bronze-Iron Age Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean

Edited by Stella Demesticha & Bernard A. Knapp Uppsala 2016

Maritime Transport Containers in the Bronze-Iron Age Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean The maritime transport of goods in bulk provides a clear indicator of many facets of trade, from networks and merchants to individual economic transactions. One of the key material factors involved is what we term the Maritime Transport Container (MTC), examples of which include the Canaanite jar, Transport Stirrup jar and Phoenician amphora, or more generally transport amphorae. Although studied systematically during later periods, the early phases in the development of MTCs are relatively obscure, because their maritime function and attributes are often overlooked.
