Bronze Weaponry and Cultural Mobility in Late Bronze Age Southeast Europe

Barry Molloy In C. Horn & K. Kristiansen (eds) 2018. Warfare in Bronze Age Society, Cambridge: 81-100.

In Classical tradition, the Dorians invaded Greece in the twilight years of the palaces or soon thereafter, leading to collapse.

One of the most frequented sea routes in the Aegean throughout the centuries is the one connecting the Saronic and the Argolic Gulfs. The first evidence for seafaring comes from the Mesolithic strata of Franchthi Cave (9000-7000 BC), which contained obsidian tools sourced to the island of Melos.

George Kazantzis Oxford

The Zooarchaeology of the Late Neolithic Strymon River Valley. The case of the Greek sector of Promachon–Topolniča in Macedo-nia, Greece Excavations on the border between Greece (sector Promachon) and Bulgaria (sector Topolniča) in the basin of the river Strymonas, in Macedonia northern Greece, have revealed a ‘flat-extended’ settlement dating to the Late Neolithic. In addition to the rich array of material culture evidence, the excavation yielded a substantial quantity of animal bones, thus offering an unparalleled opportunity to study the human-animal relationships.

Akrotiri. The Archaeological Site and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera

Christos G. Doumas Athens

Akrotiri. The Archaeological Site and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera Fifty years of systematic excavation, scientific research, study and conservation measures have revealed the history of the settlement at Akrotiri and the cultural achievements of the society that lived there. At the height of its prosperity, the cosmopolitan city one of the most important urban centres in the prehistoric Aegean, was struck by an earthquake that heralded the eruption of the Thera volcano, which buried it for posterity under a thick mantle of pumice and ash. The ruined buildings, the thousands of objects recovered from them and the remarkable wall-paintings that decorated them give us an insight into the daily life, the aesthetics and the ideology of the ‘bourgeois’ inhabitants of this once thriving port.
