Sea surface radiocarbon reservoir age changes in the Aegean sea from about 11,200 BP to present

Yorgos Facorellis & Evi Vardala-Theodorou Radiocarbon 57.3 (2015), 493-505

Archaeological excavations in two coastal sites of Greece, Ftelia on Mykonos and Cyclops Cave on Youra, have provided suitable material (charcoal/marine mollusk shell paired samples deposited simultaneously in undisturbed anthropogenic layers) to estimate regional changes of the sea surface radiocarbon reservoir effect (ΔR) in the Aegean Sea.

Minoan Archaeology. Perspectives for the 21st Century More than 100 years ago Sir Arthur Evans' spade made the first cut into the earth above the well-known Palace at Knossos.

Revisiting Kokkinopilos: Middle Pleistocene radiometric dates for stratified archaeological remains in Greece

V. Tourloukis, P. Karkanas & J. Wallinga Journal of Archaeological Science 57 (May 2015), 355-369

The red-bed site of Kokkinopilos is an emblematic and yet also most enigmatic open-air Palaeolithic site in Greece, stimulating controversy ever since its discovery in 1962. While early research raised claims for stratigraphically in situ artifacts, later scholars considered the material reworked and of low archaeological value, a theory that was soon to be challenged again by the discovery of in situ lithics, including handaxes.

In the land of Lilliput: Writing in the Bronze Age Aegean

Artemis Karnava World Archaeology 47.1 (2015), 137-157

A neglected aspect of ‘miniaturization’ is the development of the so-called ‘pictographic’ or ‘iconographic’ writing systems. ‘Picture-writing’ is the term used to describe the beginnings of various scripts, whereby the initial inspiration for the visual rendering of the signs is suggested to have been an array of tangible objects, or parts thereof.

Sir Arthur Evans and Minoan Crete: Creating the Vision of Knossos

Nanno Marinatos London/New York

Before Sir Arthur Evans, the principal object of Greek prehistoric archaeology was the reconstruction of history in relation to myth. European travellers to Greece viewed its picturesque ruins as the gateway to mythical times, while Heinrich Schliemann, at the end of the nineteenth century, allegedly uncovered at Troy and Mycenae the legendary cities of the Homeric epics.

One Philistine’s trash is an archaeologist’s treasure: Feasting at Iron Age I, Tell es-Safi/Gath

Louise A. Hitchcock, Liora Kolska Horwitz, Elisabetta Boaretto & Aren M. Maeir Near Eastern Archaeology 78.1 (March 2015), 12-25

The identification of feasting events in the archaeological record has relied upon a fairly consistent repertoire of features that relate to four crucial elements identified by Hayden (2001) based on the ethnographic literature on feasts: (a) it is a communal event; (b) it is time- and place-specific and occurs in celebration of a distinctive occasion;

An ivory bowl from Early Iron Age Tell es-Safi/Gath (Israel): manufacture, meaning and memory

Aren M. Maeir, Brent Davis, Liora Kolska Horwitz, Yotam Asscher & Louise A. Hitchcock World Archaeology 2015, 1-25

In 2013, an ivory bowl was discovered in a chalky matrix in the Early Iron Age (Philistine) levels in Area A at Tell es-Safi/Gath. Conservation revealed it to be a shallow vessel with a single lug handle, decorated in the interior and on the base with an incised twelve-petal lotus-rosette surrounded by five concentric circles.
