Keramik der mykenischen Kultur Südgriechenlands ist seit langem aus weiten Teilen des Ostmittelmeerraumes bekannt und aufgrund seiner fein chronologischen Gliederung ein probates Werkzeug zur Synchronisierung.
Einen lediglich dreiseitigen archäologischen Beitrag zu verfassen ist nicht einfach, insbesondere dann, wenn man bereits die ersten Zeilen damit vergeudet, auf dieses Faktum hinzuweisen.
This paper takes into consideration two fragmentary moulds from the LM IIIC context of the Casa a Ovest del Piazzale I at Phaistos. The identification of the matrix for a bronze winged-axe comparable with the well-known item from a mould of Mycenae gives the opportunity for having a deeper insight into the relations linking Crete to Italy in the field of metallurgical activities at the close of the Late Bronze Age.
Of the many studies dedicated to tablet HT 31 the one conducted by Duhoux has certainly solved the largest number of questions, with the exception of a precise identification of the types of vases represented. This paper tackles this issue with a structuralistic approach and starts from a comparison with the LM I formal repertoire which was actually used at Ayia Triada.
This study provides a complete and updated edition of the pottery recovered during Levi and Laviosa's excavation of the LM IB kiln at H. Triada and, on the basis of a reassessment of old and new data concerning pottery production in the LM I western Mesara

The aim of this paper is to deepen the investigation of the kiln published in 1975 by D. Levi and C. Laviosa, with commendable zeal and documentation. Construction details are now comparable with those of other kilns excavated in Late Minoan Crete.
Lo scavo della fornace di H. Triada fu l'ultima 'fatica' militante di Doro Levi. L'indimenticato Maestro lavorava già da qualche anno alla pubblicazione definitiva dello scavo di Festòs, con lunghi soggiorni estivi nei magazzini della Missione italiana.
The purpose of this research is to verify, in a preliminary form, a sector of the South West wing of the first palace of Phaistos, excavated by D. Levi during the 1950s. This part of the building, which has yielded a substantial number of finds, has always been highly problematic for the interpretation of data.

While the Bronze Age Culture in Crete is known as the “Minoan Culture” according to Evans, the same culture in the Greek Mainland is called Helladic, that in the Aegean Islands Cycladic and that in Asia Minor Anatolian Culture. In the present work the main focus is put on those mentioned Minoan, Helladic, Cycladic and Anatolian or Hellenic Bronze Age (HBA) cultures.
Die sog. minoischen Lustralbassins sind in der ägäischen Bronzezeit nahezu ausschließlich im minoischen Kreta bekannt. Einzig auf der Insel Thera, die bekanntermaßen stark minoisch geprägt war, wurde ein weiterer Raum dieser Art entdeckt. Im mykenischen Griechenland findet sich der Bautypus der Lustralbassins hingegen nirgendwo.
The natural conditions that prevail in the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles have in later times made it difficult, though not impossible, for sailing vessels to pass these straits on their way to the Black Sea.
This paper discusses Late Bronze Age maritime trade in the Mediterranean Sea attempting to assess the effectiveness of recent theoretical models and proposing some updated perspectives. In particular the effective role of elites in the exchanges is assessed.
The rocky islet of Modi is situated SE of Poros on a sea route very important for navigation in the region. On the north steep sloppy bottom of Modi, at a depth of 27-40 meters, the cargo of a Late Bronze Age shipwreck was discovered, during an underwater research project carried out by the Hellenic Institute of Marine Archaeology (HIMA), under the direction of the author.
