Η υποβρύχια έρευνα που διεξάγει το Ι.ΕΝ.Α.Ε. τα τελευταία έτη στον Αργοσαρωνικό, επικεντρώθηκε, κατά τις ερευνητικές περιόδους 2006 και 2007, στη θαλάσσια περιοχή γύρω από τη νησίδα Μόδι, ΝΑ του Πόρου, όπου μετά από εντατική έρευνα των ετών 2003 και 2005 είχαν εντοπιστεί σημαντικότατες ενάλιες αρχαιότητες, κυρίως της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού.

Κατά τις τελευταίες ανασκαφές που πραγματοποιήθηκαν κάτω από τη Ρωμαϊκή Βίλα του Διονύσου στην Κνωσό της Κρήτης, συνελέγη αρχαιοβοτανικό υλικό από στρώματα που χρονολογούνται στην Εποχή του Χαλκού και στην Πρωτογεωμετρική περίοδο. Η αρχαιοβοτανική συγκέντρωση της Εποχής του Χαλκού αποδείχθηκε σχετικά φτωχή, αντιπροσωπεύοντας σποραδικά κατάλοιπα που εισχώρησαν τυχαία στο συμπαγές στρώμα από όστρακα και πέτρες.

Το παρόν είναι το τέταρτο και τελευταίο μια σειράς άρθρων εμπνευσμένων από την εκ νέου ανακάλυψη, το 2003, δύο σκελετών που ανέσκαψε ο Παναγιώτης Σταματάκης το 1877 στο λακκοειδή Τάφο VI του Ταφικού Κύκλου Α των Μυκηνών.

Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζεται η νωπογραφία του «Λαβυρίνθου», θραύσματα της οποίας εντοπίστηκαν από Sir Arthur Evans κατά τις ανασκαφές που διεξήγαγε στην ανατολική πτέρυγα του μινωϊκού ανακτόρου στην Κνωσσό. Μια ενδιαφέρουσα παρατήρηση είναι ότι το σχέδιο πραγματοποιήθηκε με εγχάραξη στην επιφάνεια του κονιάματος και την πλήρωση των αυλακώσεων με ένα καθαρό κόκκινο χρώμα.

Μαζί με την πολιτική, την οικονομία και τη θρησκεία, ο πόλεμος είναι ένας από τους θεμελιώδεις παράγοντες που μπορούν να μορφοποιήσουν την κοινωνία και τις ομαδικές ταυτότητες.

Seventy years after its first investigation, Karphi (Karfi) on Crete was the subject of a new pilot excavation in 2008. The main aim was to provide the first up-to-date detailed contextual records for the site across a representative area, thus filling in interpretative gaps left by the original extensive excavation.
This paper evaluates the evidence for horseback riding in Mycenaean Greece. This paper argues that horseback riding, which is widely held to be an Iron Age development (of especially the 9th and 8th centuries BC), was practised by members of the aristocracies throughout the eastern Mediterranean as early as the 13th century BC, and that the first cavalry can be identified around the same time in Mycenaean Greece and other regions in the eastern Mediterranean.

The site of Nea Nikomideia is one of the oldest and most important Neolithic settlements in Northern Greece and the wider Balkan Peninsula, having been first occupied by early farmers at around 6500 cal. BC. Important archaeological excavations conducted in the 1960s suggested that the settlement was located close to an ancient coastline during the Neolithic.

‘Minoans’ have been recognised as pre-Hellenic race or closed ethnic group in Egyptian representations of Aegean figures from Eighteenth Dynasty Theban tombs. Modern construct of ‘Minoans’ thus merged with an ancient Egyptian construct of Aegean foreigners.

Egypt has some of the oldest written records and extended lists of named rulers. But radiocarbon dates have only fulfilled expectations 66 per cent of the time. So why haven't the two types of dating made a better match? The authors provide a dozen excellent reasons, which will sound the alarm among researchers well beyond Dynastic Egypt.

Whilst use of alcoholic beverages is considered an important feature of most societies, identifying alcohol production and consumption in the archaeological record is notoriously difficult. Presented here is a recently excavated oven-like installation, unique in the Cypriot Bronze Age, from the south-western settlement of Kissonerga-Skalia.

Among Heinrich Schliemann's discoveries of architecture at Mycenaean Tiryns in the Argolid Plain in southern Greece, one of the most impressive was a single huge rectangular stone slab that covered the floor of a relatively small square room.

The correspondence between the ideogram АВ 21for “sheep” in Linear A and the syllabic interpretation of this sign as /qi/ in Linear B script allow us to suggest that Linear A was used for an IE language in which the initial laryngeal was reflected as a guttural (*H2wi- or *H3wi- > kwi).

With academic subjects as with people, many a close and intimate relationship can become cool and distant. It may even be broken off altogether, and replaced by a different relationship. In the case of academic disciplines, such a transfer of affections can lead to a radical and positive transformation of a subject, even when this also means the virtual disappearance of its older configuration.
