Textile Terminologies in the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean from the Third to the First Millennnia BC
Oxford
Written sources from the ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean, from the third to the first millennia BC, provide a wealth of terms for textiles. The twenty-two chapters in the present volume offer the first comprehensive survey of this important material, with special attention to evidence for significant interconnections in textile terminology among languages and cultures, across space and time. For example, the Greek word for a long shirt, khiton, ki-to in Linear B, derives from a Semitic root, ktn. But the same root in Akkadian means linen, in Old Assyrian a garment made of wool, and perhaps cotton, in many modern languages.The Archaeology of Measurement. Comprehending Heaven, Earth and Time in Ancient Societies
Cambridge
The construction of formal measurement systems underlies the development of science, technology, economy and new ways of understanding and explaining the world. Human societies have developed such systems in different ways, in different places and at different times, and recent archaeological investigations highlight the importance of these activities for fundamental aspects of human life.The Collapse of Palatial Society in LBA Greece and the Postpalatial Period
Oxford
This monograph deals with the destruction and disappearance of the palaces and palace societies of Late Bronze Age or Mycenaean Greece c.1200 and aspects of continuity and change in the subsequent Postpalatial period of the twelfth and eleventh centuries (LHIIIC). It is primarily concerned with mainland Greece and the islands, excluding Crete. An emphasis in this work, where analysis of the Greek material itself or theories based upon it is attempted, is the potential for differences between palatial and non-palatial areas.Depositi ceramici del Medio Minoico III da Festòs e Haghia Triada
Padova
This volume deals with the Middle Minoan (MM) III pottery deposits from Phaistos and Ayia Triada, and has several purposes: firstly, to provide the evidence for a reassessment of the chronological sequence of the MM III in southern Crete; secondly, to add ceramic data to the scanty architectural evidence from both sites during this crucial period; thirdly, to clarify the key passage from MM III to LM IA by presenting specific deposits that support the MM IIIA and IIIB terminologies used in this volume; fourthly, to enlarge the ceramic corpus already embodied by substantial data published from Kommos.

Θεσσαλονίκη
Η ανασκαφή στο Αγγελοχώρι διήρκεσε από το 1994 έως και το 2003 και κατά τη διάρκειά της αποκαλύφθηκαν τα υλικά κατάλοιπα ενός οικισμού της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού, του πρώτου ανασκαμμένου στην περιοχή. Από το 2000 ξεκίνησε το πρόγραμμα μελέτης του υλικού από ομάδα επιστημόνων με την οικονομική χορηγία του «Shelby White - Leon Levy Program for Archaeological Publications», του Πανεπιστημίου του Harvard (2000-2002). Επίσης η έρευνα στηρίχθηκε οικονομικά από το Mediterranean Archaeological Trust.Βιβλιοκρισία του: The Power of Technology in the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean. The Case of the Painted Plaster
