The Bronze Age Cemeteries at Karmi Palealona and Lapatsa in Cyprus. Excavations by J.R.B. Stewart

Jennifer M. Webb, David Frankel, Kathryn O. Eriksson & J. Basil Hennessy Sävedalen 2009

The Bronze Age Cemeteries at Karmi Palealona and Lapatsa in Cyprus. Excavations by J.R.B. Stewart In 1961, shortly before his death, the late J.R. Stewart excavated two Early and Middle Bronze Age cemeteries near the village of Karmi on the north coast of Cyprus. This volume presents the results of this work, including full descriptions of the tombs together with detailed catalogues and illustrations of the rich array of pottery and other grave-goods. This provides an important body of data with which to reassess developments on the north coast of Cyprus in the light of current research elsewhere on the island. Both cemeteries began to be used in the Early Bronze Age.

Un frammento con rappresentazione di felino da Chalara (Festòs)? (A felid representation on a fragment from Chalara, Phaestos?)

Luca Girella Creta Antica 10/II (2009): 441-463.

This paper focuses on a MM III A ceramic fragment (F 7586) found in the southern sector of the Chalara quarter (located on the eastern slopes of the Phaistos palace hill). The vessel, of which only two joining sherds from a medium-large closed shape survive, comes from a rich homogenous fill created in an operation to fill MM III structures and construct a LM I house on top of them.

For a new ceramic sequence of Protopalatial Phaistos (MM IB-MM IIA) and some observations on Barbotine Ware

Ilaria Caloi Creta Antica 10/II (2009): 373-440.

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to define a new ceramic sequence for Protopalatial Phaistos, in particular for the first phases of the Protopalatial period, i.e. MM IB-MM IIA. Second, to produce a study of the Barbotine Ware attested in these deposits, which will add new data on the evolution of this class of pottery, and in turn, may be useful in dating examples found elsewhere.

Rethinking administration and seal use in third millennium Crete

Maria Relaki Creta Antica 10/II (2009): 353-372.

The specific outlook and reach of administration in Prepalatial Crete is the topic of heated debate. The materials most frequently implicated in this debate are clay sealings, usually taken as a clear demonstration of administrative concerns. However, although early sealings might have been used for this purpose, this view tends to be influenced by our knowledge of sealing practices from later, palatial contexts.

Raum und Ritus. Zur Rekonstruktion minoischer Kultpraxis

Mara Zatti Oxford

Raum und Ritus. Zur Rekonstruktion minoischer Kultpraxis In this study of Minoan cult practice, the author looks beyond the many vivid images from Cretan prehistory, focussing on the stratigraphy of the artefacts and buildings. She lists all the known cultural rooms in a database and divides them into “primary” and “secondary” rooms, according to their cultural objects and architectural situation. The former were selected for their good state of preservation, with their artefacts found in situ.

Cyprus and the East Aegean. Intercultural Contacts from 3000 to 500 BC. An International Archaeological Symposium held at Pythagoreion, Samos, October 17th – 18th 2008

Cyprus and the East Aegean. Intercultural Contacts from 3000 to 500 BC. An International Archaeological Symposium held at Pythagoreion, Samos, October 17th – 18th 2008 The study of the archaeology and history of a country is not confined within the narrow boundaries of its physical borders, but it expands much further, to include its relations with the neighbouring countries and the outside world in general. The more so when this country is a small island, like Cyprus, whose survival presupposes continuous overseas contacts. The Mediterranean has been uniquely blessed and is a good example of die phenomenon of a sea which unites and does not separate the countries which it borders. This elongated sea, with a number of islands scattered from one end to the other, has made communications possible, even in prehistoric times, when the means of navigation were primitive.

Neolitico a Festòs

Enrica Fiandra & Elisabetta Mangani (επιμέλεια) Roma

Neolitico a Festòs Il neolitico di Festòs è stato pubblicato, nel tempo, da diversi autori in riviste e volumi, tuttavia riteniamo opportuno riprodurre le più importanti edizioni, oggi difficilmente reperibili, relative agli scavi diretti da Luigi Pernier su tutta l’area palaziale e a quelli condotti da Doro Levi limitatamente al cortile 40 e al corridoio 7 del Palazzo di Festòs. La ragione di quest'ultima particolare scelta è data dal fatto che gli scavi di queste due aree sono stati controllati direttamente da Enrica Fiandra, durante i lavori di rifinitura dei saggi scavati, di rilevamento grafico e fotografico nel cortile 40 e di scavo e rilievo in occasione del restauro delle lastre di gesso alabastrino del pavimento nel corridoio 7, effettuato nel 1957.

Άνδρος. Ιερά της γεωμετρικής και αρχαϊκής εποχής

Χριστίνα Α. Τελεβάντου Στο Δ. Ι. Κυρτάτας, Λ. Παλαιοκρασσά-Κόπιτσα & Μ. Τιβέριος (επιμ.), Εύανδρος, τόμος εις μνήμην Δημητρίου Ι. Πολέμη (Άνδρος 2009): 51-111.

Η Άνδρος, νησί μεγάλο και εύφορο, κυρίως όμως με γεωγραφική θέση ιδιαίτερα σημαντική από στρατηγική άποψη για θαλάσσια συγκοινωνία, αποτέλεσε διαχρονικά φυσικό χώρο για την ανάπτυξη μεγάλων οικισμών και πόλεων. Είναι γεγονός ότι η συγκυριακή, όπως πιστεύουμε, απουσία σημαντικών στοιχείων για τη Μυκηναϊκή Εποχή καθιστά, προς το παρόν, δύσκολο να κατανοηθεί η μετάβαση στη Γεωμετρική Εποχή. Κατά την τελευταία υπάρχει μεγάλη άνθηση στο νησί, καθώς με τα ως τώρα δεδομένα διαπιστώνεται αφενός δραστηριότητα τουλάχιστον από το τέλος του 10ου /αρχές 9ου αι. π.Χ. και αφετέρου ότι κατά το β' μισό του 8ου αι. π.Χ. ακμάζουν στη δυτική ακτή δύο μεγάλες οχυρωμένες πόλεις, η Ζαγορά και η Υψηλή.

Heinrich Schliemanns Ausgrabungen in Troia nach osmanischen Quellen

Rüstem Aslan, Reyhan Körpe & Ali Sönmez Studia Troica 18 (2009): 237-248.

Much has already been written about Heinrich Schliemann's excavations in Troia since 1870. Two main themes are apparent: biographical accounts in commentaries and memoirs of Schliemann's work and an overwhelming dossier of Schliemann's own publications, diaries, and letters.
