The Cave of the Cyclops: Mesolithic and Neolithic Networks in the Northern Aegean, Greece. Volume II: Bone Tool Industries, Dietary Resources and the Paleoenvironment, and Archeometrical Studies

Adamantios Sampson (επιμέλεια) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2011

The Cave of the Cyclops: Mesolithic and Neolithic Networks in the Northern Aegean, Greece. Volume II: Bone Tool Industries, Dietary Resources and the Paleoenvironment, and Archeometrical Studies The archaeological material presented in the first volume has demonstrated the importance of the Cave of the Cyclops, which unquestionably constitutes a byword in the prehistory of the Aegean. The information set out in the second volume mainly comes from the archaeological material, organic residues, and the archaeornetric studies that complete the image of this significant archaeological site.

L’émergence de la civilisation mycénienne en Grèce centrale

Laetitia Phialon Leuven-Liège 2011

L’émergence de la civilisation mycénienne en Grèce centrale Durant la dernière phase de l’Âge du Bronze (XVIe-XIe s. av. J.-C.), la civilisation mycénienne voit le jour et s’épanouit en Grèce continentale. Alors que la découverte des tombes à fosse de Mycènes et des tombes à tholos de Messénie a attiré l’attention sur le Péloponnèse, la Grèce centrale se révèle également sensible aux changements culturels qui se sont produits dès la fin de l’Helladique Moyen. Bien que le mode de vie ne paraisse pas s’être modifié radicalement dans les habitats examinés, les sépultures témoignent de changements culturels profonds, comme le suggèrent les inhumations successives de plus en plus souvent attestées.

Y. Duhoux & A. Morpurgo Davies (επιμέλεια) Louvain-la-Neuve 2011

A Companion to Linear B. Mycenaean Greek Texts and their World, Volume 2 Linear B is the earliest form of writing used for Greek. The tablets written in this script offer crucial information about the Mycenaean Greeks and their time. This Companion aims at not only summarizing the results of current research but also trying to explain the problems which arise from the study of the texts and the methods which can be used to solve them.

L. Astruc, R. Vargiolu, M. Ben Tkaya, N. Balkan-Atli, M. Özbaşaran & H. Zahouani Journal of Archaeological Science 38:11 (December 2011): 3415-3424.

Tribological analysis is employed in a pilot study of the technological steps involved in the manufacture of a polished obsidian bracelet from Aşikli Höyük, an Aceramic Neolithic site in Central Anatolia (8300–7500 cal. B.C.).

Thapsos-Class Ware Reconsidered: The Case of Achaea in the Northern Peloponnese. Pottery Workshop or Pottery Style?

Anastasia Gadolou Oxford

Thapsos-Class Ware Reconsidered: The Case of Achaea in the Northern Peloponnese. Pottery Workshop or Pottery Style? Recent excavations in the region of Achaea in the northern Peloponnese (Greece) have brought to light new evidence on the Thapsos-class of vases. Their identification amongst the grave goods as well as the dedications in the two important sanctuary sites of the area provide a starting point for reassessing the question of this particular ware’s identity and its main production centre.

Transport Stirrup Jars of the Bronze Age Aegean and East Mediterranean

Halford W. Haskell, Richard E. Jones, Peter M. Day & John T. Killen Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Transport Stirrup Jars of the Bronze Age Aegean and East Mediterranean The transport stirrup jar was a vessel type used extensively in the Late Bronze Age III Aegean world. Found in a variety of contexts, the type was used both to transport and to store liquid commodities in bulk. The peak of the production and exchange of this jar corresponded with the time of economic expansion on the Greek mainland.

Palaeomagnetic Results From Minoan Ash Deposits (Rv Vema) Cores V10-50 And V10-58 South Aegean Sea: A Comparison With Santorini Minoan Pumice Deposits

W.S. Downey The Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry 11:2 (2011): 151-168.

Palaeomagnetic and anisotropy measurements were carried out on Minoan ash deposits obtained from the deep-sea cores, (V10-50 and V10-58), South Aegean Sea. Three distinct layers have been reported within the ash deposit in core (V10-50). Based primarily on grain-size differences, a link to three separate eruptive phases of Santorini has been suggested.

Enkomi.The Excavations of Porphyrios Dikaios 1948-1958. Supplementary Catalogue of Finds

Vassos Karageorghis (with a chapter by Nicolle Hirschfeld) Λευκωσία

Enkomi.The Excavations of Porphyrios Dikaios 1948-1958. Supplementary Catalogue of Finds The Late Bronze Age civilization of Cyprus owes much to Porphyrios Dikaios, who excavated at Enkomi between 1948 and 1958 on behalf of the Department of Antiquities. Two volumes of text, one of plates and another of plans and sections were published by him (Philipp von Zabern Verlag, Mainz-am Rhein) in 1969 and 1971.

Mesolithic Cave Use in Greece and the Mosaic of Human Communities

Nena Galanidou Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology 24:2 (2011): 219-242.

This paper discusses the Greek Mesolithic record in the light of refinements to the international calibration curve and recent archaeological research. Central to the discussion are the time frame used for this period of Greek prehistory, and the diagnostic potential, or visibility, of Mesolithic stone tools.

Not in Knossos anymore: ”Minoan” Frescoes from Tell el-Dabca, Some Interpretative Issues on Diplomatic Encounter

Uroš Matić in Marta Hlad (ed.),STARCO III: Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam, Travellling, Communicating and Trading in The Past, Ljubljana: Študentsko arheološko društvo, 2011: 51-60.

‘Minoan’ frescoes from the Egyptian palatial complex at Tell el Dabca have raised many questions regarding the nature and complexity of Egypt-Aegean interrelations. Different dating of the frescoes produced different interpretations of contacts between the Ancient Egyptian court and Cretan polities.

The Saronic Harbors Archaeological Research Project (SHARP): Investigations at Mycenaean Kalamianos, 2007-2009

Thomas F. Tartaron, Daniel J. Pullen, Richard K. Dunn, Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory, Amy Dill & Joseph I. Boyce Hesperia 80:4 (2011): 559-634.

This article describes the initial phase of investigations at Kalamianos, a recently discovered Mycenaean coastal settlement on the Saronic Gulf in the southeastern Corinthia. To date 50 buildings and 120 rooms of Late Helladic IIIB date have been identified at the site, which is unique for the excellent preservation of aboveground architectural remains.
