Geophysical Survey as an Aid to Excavation at Mitrou: A Preliminary Report
Hesperia 81:3 (2012): 383-432.
Various geophysical methods were used to explore the subsurface of the prehistoric site of Mitrou. Geophysical research was essential for selecting significant areas for excavation as well as for guiding archaeological fieldwork and complementing its results.The First Wheelmade Pottery at Lerna: Wheel-Thrown or Wheel-Fashioned?
Hesperia 81:3 (2012): 343-381.
The appearance of wheelmade pottery in the Mediterranean during the last phase of the Early Bronze Age is usually interpreted as the direct result of the invention of the fast wheel and of the wheel-throwing technique.Petras, Siteia – 25 years of excavations and studies
Αθήνα
Το συνέδριο φιλοξενήθηκε στο Ινστιτούτο της Δανίας στην Αθήνα τον Οκτώβριο του 2010 και οργανώθηκε με την ευκαιρία της συμπλήρωσης 25 χρόνων ανασκαφών και μελετών στη μινωική ανακτορική θέση του Πετρά Σητείας (1985-2010). Συμμετείχε ομάδα επιστημόνων από έξι χώρες (Ελλάδα, Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, Ιταλία, Δανία, Η.Π.Α. Καναδά), που μελετούν υλικό από την πόλη, το ανάκτορο και το νεκροταφείο του Πετρά. Μέχρι το 2000 είχαν ερευνηθεί στον Πετρά τρεις τομείς του οικισμού και το Παλαιο- και Νεοανακτορικό ανάκτορο, το οποίο απέδωσε το καλύτερο σωζόμενο αρχείο της κρητικής ιερογλυφικής (Tsipopoulou & Hallager, 2010).Βιβλιοκρισία του: A Companion to Linear B.

Bronze Age Carian Iasos. Structures and finds from the area of the Roman Agora (ca. 3000-1500 BC)
Roma
Iasos is an important archaeological site on the southwest coast of Turkey, and one of the very few in this region to have yielded substantial Bronze Age levels and structures, especially for the second millennium BC.A Cycladic Perspective on Mycenaean Long-Distance Exchanges
Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology 25:1 (2012): 3-25.
Recent discussions of Mycenaean long-distance exchanges with the ‘East’ have focused on the goods exchanged, their means of production and shipment, and their significance for consumers. Despite voluminous research on these topics, consideration of Mycenaean long-distance exchanges with the eastern Mediterranean vis-à-vis the Cycladic islands during the Palatial Period has been minimal.Two Knights and a Goddess: Sir Arthur Evans, Sir James George Frazer, and the Invention of Minoan Religion
Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology 25:1 (2012): 75-98.
Recent biographies of Sir Arthur Evans and histories of his excavations at Knossos have made it clear that Evans’s description of Minoan religion was not solidly based on the material evidence at Knossos. By the time Evans wrote The Palace of Minos he was fully committed to the belief that the Minoans worshipped a single Great Mother Goddess in many guises, along with a subordinate male deity, her son.Opacifiers in Late Bronze Age glasses: the use of ToF-SIMS to identify raw ingredients and production techniques
Journal of Archaeological Science 39:7 (July) 2012: 2143-2152.
Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is applied to the study of four samples of opaque glass of Late Bronze Age date. The technique is uniquely capable of identifying compositional heterogeneity at a sub-micron resolution within the crystalline opacifiers dispersed through homogeneous glass matrices.Early seafaring activity in the southern Ionian Islands, Mediterranean Sea
Journal of Archaeological Science 39:7 (July 2012): 2167-2176.
This paper summarises the current development in the southern Ionian Islands (Kefallinia and Zakynthos) prehistory and places it within the context of seafaring. Archaeological data from the southern Ionian Islands show human habitation since Middle Palaeolithic going back to 110 ka BP yet bathymetry, sea-level changes and the Late Quaternary geology, show that Kefallinia and Zakynthos were insular at that time.Βιβλιοκρισία του: A Companion to Linear B: Mycenaean Greek Texts and Their World.
