The Middle and Late Cycladic pottery from the Cave of Zas on Naxos offers useful information about those periods on the island, and their presence at the site provides the first example of the use of a cave in the Cyclades in the 2nd millennium BC.

Ένα από τα ζητήματα που έχουν απασχολήσει τόσο την Αγγελικά Ντούζουγλη όσο και τον Κωνσταντίνο Ζάχο είναι ο προσδιορισμός και η ερμηνεία των ριζοσπαστικών αλλαγών στην κατοίκηση του ελλαδικού χώρου στις νεότερες φάσεις τη; Νεολιθικής.

Problematising the Transition from Bronze to Iron

Peter Haarer In A. J. Shortland (ed.) 2017. The Social Context of Technological Change. Egypt and the Near East, 1650-1150 BC, Oxford: 255-273.

In Greece and Cyprus the twelfth century is usually seen as the beginning of the 'Transition' from bronze to iron - a decisive phase of one or two hundred years during which iron became cheaply and widely available for the first time, displacing bronze as the main metal for tools and implements.

Minoan Foreign Relations and Copper Metallurgy in Protopalatial and Neopalatial Crete

Zofia Stos-Gale In A. J. Shortland (ed.) 2017. The Social Context of Technological Change. Egypt and the Near East, 1650-1150 BC, Oxford: 195-210.

The 18th to 17th centuries B.C. on Crete was the period of great changes and social upheavals. Minoan Crete was a leading military power in the Aegean in the MBA and the wide mercantile activity depended on a political system co-ordinating private and public interests and providing security.

Gold and Granulation: Exploring the Social Implications of a Prestige Technology in the Bronze Age Mediterranean

Thea Politis In A. J. Shortland (ed.) 2017. The Social Context of Technological Change. Egypt and the Near East, 1650-1150 BC, Oxford: 161-194.

The variability present in the early developments of the technology of granulation, the most difficult gold-smithing technique to perfect and master, can be used to define and explore socio-economic relationships within the archaeological systems of the Early to Late Bronze Age Mediterranean.

Stone Vessel Production: New Beginnings and New Visions in New-Palace Crete

Jacke Phillips In A. J. Shortland (ed.) 2017. The Social Context of Technological Change. Egypt and the Near East, 1650-1150 BC, Oxford: 73-91.

The end of the Old Palace and beginning of the New Palace period on Crete saw, amongst other key events in Minoan history, fundamental changes in the popularity of certain ceramic vases, a statement also true for stone vessels. Amongst other developments was the revival of the importation and, presumably, direct use of Egyptian stone vessels.

Technological change in the East Mediterranean Bronze Age: capital, resources and marketing

Andrew & Susan Sherratt In A. J. Shortland (ed.) 2017. The Social Context of Technological Change. Egypt and the Near East, 1650-1150 BC, Oxford: 15-38.

This paper explores some of the factors of technological change, in terms of socio-political, environmental and economic-structural relationships, (and the dialectics between them). These 'factors of production' only partly coincide.

During 2012, new drillings confirmed the discovery of Early and Middle Neolithic layers at the base of the tell at Dikili Tash, in its northeast side. The excavation, though, focused on sector 6, aiming towards the identification of the limits of ‘house 1’ (dated from around 4300-4200 BC), and the total investigation of its interior.
