Federico Halbherr and Knossos
Annuario della Scuola Archeologica di Atene e delle Missioni Italiane in Oriente LXXXVII (2009) [2010]: 43-67.
To άρθρο εξετάζει την πολιτική και επιστημονική σημασία της ανασκαφής του Federico Halbherr στην Κνωσό κατά τον Οκτώβριο-Νοέμβριο 1885. Πρόκειται για μια από τις πρώτες ανασκαφές του, έναν χρόνο μόλις μετά την άφιξή του στην Κρήτη. Η ανασκαφή του που συχνά παραβλέπεται στην ιστορία της έρευνας της Κνωσού, κράτησε 10 ημέρες, κατά τις οποίες ο Halbherr έφερε στο φως σημαντικές ρωμαϊκές και παλαιοχριστιανικές τοιχοδομίες, τμήματα τουλάχιστον μίας domus με περιστύλιο, ένα ψηφιδωτό που εικονίζει τις τέσσερις εποχές, μία βασιλική και μια εκκλησία.La Scuola Archeologica di Atene nell’ambito della politica estera italiana tra XIX e XX secolo
Annuario della Scuola Archeologica di Atene e delle Missioni Italiane in Oriente LXXXVII (2009) [2010]: 17-40.
To άρθρο έχει ως στόχο να διαγράψει μια επισκόπηση των δημοσιεύσεων των τελευταίων δύο δεκαετιών που αναφέρονται στο θέμα αυτό. Πράγματι, οι προοπτικές και οι προτάσεις μιας προηγούμενης φάσης μελετών ανανεώθηκαν ριζικά. To πεδίο παραμένει ανοιχτό σε αναγκαίες καινούριες έρευνες, με τον όρο να ξεπεραστούν τα παλιά εθνικιστικά σχήματα. To άρθρο εξετάζει τα γενικότερα ιστορικά πλαίσια σχετικά με την Ιταλία και την Ελλάδα ανάμεσα στο 19° και τον 20° αιώνα, για να αναλυθούν στη συνέχεια οι πρόσφατες δημοσιεύσεις με θέμα την αρχαιολογία στην φιλελεύθερη Ιταλία και στο φασιστικό καθεστώς.A sword of Naue II type from Ugarit and the historical significance of Italian-type weaponry in the Eastern Mediterranean
Aegean Archaeology 8 (2005-2006) [2009]: 111-135.
In this paper we treat changes in weaponry and armament, which occurred in the Aegean and Levantine regions between the late 14th and the early 12th century BC. We aim at reconstructing these changes in a sequence as fine-phased as possible and try to identify the regions in which they originated. As a case study we use a sword of Naue II type found at Ugarit.Animal bodies and ontological discourse in the Greek Neolithic
In S. Nanoglou & L. Meskell (eds), The Materiality of Representation, Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory 16.3 (September 2009): 184-204.
The present article tries to assess the ways that animal bodies were represented in the Neolithic of Northern Greece. Contending that representations always have a material presence (be they spoken, depicted or anything else), an attempt is made to sort out how the specificity of this presence constitutes a frame of reference for the deployment of social action. Animal representations seem to be particularly related with certain materials, especially clay, and certain objects, mostly clay vessels. It is suggested that these objects allow animals to be incorporated in social action in a very specific manner, one that is further defined by the contexts of their use.Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: International trade and the Late Bronze Age Aegean

Articulate bodies: Forms and figures at Çatalhöyük
In S. Nanoglou & L. Meskell (eds), The Materiality of Representation, Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory 16.3 (September 2009): 205-230.
This paper examines the materializing practices of bodies at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük. We focus on the clay and stone figurine corpus (over 1,800 total, with over 1,000 of those being diagnostic), but also consider other media such as wall paintings and sculptured features, as well as the skeletal evidence.The materiality of representation: A preface
In S. Nanoglou & L. Meskell (eds), The Materiality of Representation, Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory 16.3 (September 2009): 157-161.
Issues of materiality are gaining ground in archaeology, although there are still conflicting views over the usefulness of the concept. Despite the controversy over the concept itself, all interlocutors converge in the need to focus on the material aspect of the world, on the material part of material culture. Historically, this could be seen as a counteraction to an overt emphasis upon the cultural as an intellectual construct that has dominated many recent attempts to reconstruct the past, but the move does not restrict itself to that. Accordingly, in this issue our understanding and use of the term is on the broadest level. It pertains to the “thingness” of things, to that aspect of things that gives them a material presence in the world.Neolithic zoomorphic vessels from eastern Macedonia, Greece: Issues of function
Archaeometry 51.3 (June 2009): 397-412.
Five fragments of Late Neolithic clay zoomorphic vessels from northern Greece have been analysed for organic residues by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. The results showed that the containers had been used in connection with a number of substances, in particular lower terpenoids, an oil or fat, possibly fossil fuel and in one case possibly beeswaxDu phénotype au génotype.
