New Early Cycladic figurine at Nea Styra

M. Kosma The Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 10.3 (2010): 29-36.

The existence of an Early Bronze Age coastal site in the district of Nea Styra has been known since the end of the 19th century when three marble figurines of early Cycladic type had been found in the area. During the 20th century survey investigations conducted by Greek and foreign archaeologists offered new evidence which demonstrated the significance of the site during the Early and Middle Helladic periods.

14C record and wiggle – Match placement for the Anatolian (Gordion Area) Juniper Tree – Ring chronology ~1729 to 751 cal BC, and typical Aegean/Anatolian (growing season related) regional 14C offset assessment

Sturt W. Manning, Bernd Kromer, Christopher Bron, Charlotte L. Pearson, Sahra Talamo, Nicole Trano & Jennifer D. Watkins Radiocarbon 52.4 (2010): 1571-1597.

The East Mediterranean Radiocarbon (inter-)Comparison Project (EMRCP) has measured the 14C ages of a number of sets of tree rings from the Gordion Area dendrochronology from central Anatolia at the Heidelberg Radiocarbon Laboratory. In several cases, multiple measurements were made over a period from the 1980s to 2009.

14C calibration in the 2nd and 1st millennia BC – Eastern Mediterranean radiocarbon comparison project (EMRCP)

Kromer, B., Manning, S.W., Friedrich, M., Talamo, S. & Trano, N. Radiocarbon 52.3 (2010): 875-886.

We have measured additional known-age German oak samples in 4 intervals in the 2nd and 1st millennia BC to add to (and to replicate) parts of the international Northern Hemisphere radiocarbon calibration data set. In the 17th, 16th, and 12th centuries BC, our results agree well with IntCal04.

Traditions and Transformations: Approaches to Eneolithic (Copper Age) and Bronze Age Metalworking and Society in Eastern Central Europe and the Carpathian Basin

Tobias L. Kienlin Oxford

Traditions and Transformations: Approaches to Eneolithic (Copper Age) and Bronze Age Metalworking and Society in Eastern Central Europe and the Carpathian Basin This study was conceived of some years ago as a sequel to the metallographic examination of Early Bronze Age axes from the north alpine region of central Europe. The original impetus was to provide a long-term perspective on the development of methods of casting and forging by extending the data base to Eneolithic/Copper Age material.

Ahhotep’s Silver Ship Model: The Minoan Context

Shelley Wachsmann Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections 2.3 (August 2010): 31-41.

The tomb of Ahhotep (I) contained two metal ship models—one gold, the other silver—and a four-wheeled carriage. The models are anomalous in time and material. While the gold model represents a typical papyri form wood- planked Nile vessel, the silver model finds its closest parallels

Religion in the Emergence of Civilization. Çatalhöyük as a Case Study

Ian Hodder (επιμέλεια) Cambridge

Religion in the Emergence of Civilization. Çatalhöyük as a Case Study This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the role of spirituality and religious ritual in the emergence of complex societies. Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines Çatalhöyük as a case study. A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey, Çatalhöyük was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of religion in early settled life.

Organizing Bronze Age Societies. The Mediterranean, Central Europe, and Scandinavia Compared

Edited by Timothy Earle & Kristian Kristiansen Cambridge

Organizing Bronze Age Societies. The Mediterranean, Central Europe, and Scandinavia Compared The Bronze Age was a formative period in European history when the organisation of landscapes, settlements, and economy reached a new level of complexity. This book presents the first in-depth, comparative study of household economy and settlement in three micro-regions: the Mediterranean (Sicily), Central Europe (Hungary), and Northern Europe (South Scandinavia).

Lions from Tell el Dab‘a

Nanno Marinatos Egypt and the Levant. International Journal for Egyptian Archaeology and Related Disciplines XX (2010): 325-355.

Over three dozen fragments of lions have been identified in the material from Tell el Dab‘a, all found together in a dump in sector H/I. While their precise location within the palace is impossible to identify, some facts are clear. The lions and leopards belonged to a set of friezes all of which dealt with the theme of predatory hunt.

POCA 2007: Postgraduate Cypriot Archaeology Conference The idea to hold a conference for postgraduate students and young scholars conducting research on Cypriot Archaeology was inspired in 2001 by Dr Kirsi Lorenz, at the time a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and now currently Research Coordinator at the Cyprus Institute.

An Aegean griffin in Egypt: The hunt frieze at Tell el Dab‘a

Lyvia Morgan Egypt and the Levant. International Journal for Egyptian Archaeology and Related Disciplines XX (2010): 303-323.

A single griffin, on a scale with the lions and leopards, was found amongst the fragments of Aegean wall paintings dumped outside Palace F at Tell el Dab‘a in the early Tuthmoside period. Like the other felines, the griffin must have been a predator in the Hunt Frieze. Most of the head is preserved, the beak, and part of the wing.
