LM III mortuary practices in West Crete: the cemeteries of Maroulas and Armenoi at Rethymnon
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 131-157
The examination of two burial assemblages is not limited to descriptions of data, but also addresses the functional role of the objects, which can lead to more interpretive approaches, based on a theoretical framework. Looking at the evidence of the two cemeteries, one can deduce that there was a specific burial programme, in which there was an accepted way of treating the dead.Out of date, out of fashion: the change of dress of Aegean figures in the Egyptian 18th dynasty Theban tombs in the light of Aegean Bronze Age costume
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 105-130
We examine the use of the breechcloth and kilt in the Bronze Age Aegean and argue that the affinity of the Aegean elite of Knossos towards wearing kilts in processions can be dated to LM II. This date corresponds to the change from breechcloth to kilt in the tomb of Menkheperreseneb with the terminus post quem in the 33rd regnal year of Thutmose III.A lost Mycenaean fresco fragment re-examined
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 83-104
Possible reconstructions of the fragment are presented, and its iconography is explored in light of current chronologies and known comparanda. It is argued that, while many details of the fragment’s biography remain ambiguous, the potential value of the find as a rare representation of a processing man in a mainland palatial context is substantial.A fragmentary libation table with inscription in Linear A from Petsopha, Palaikastro (Pk Za 27)
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 73-82
This article is the first publication of a fragmentary libation table with inscription in Linear A showing an example of the so-called “libation formula”. The signs, the text and the formula of the inscription are presented and discussed.Βιβλιοκρισία του B.P.C.

The mystery of the Mycenaean ‘Labyrinth’: the value of Linear B pu₂ and related signs
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 53-72
This discussion illustrates the crucial impact that establishing a single sign’s value may have on the wider understanding of the Linear B script, as well as on its relationship with its parent script Linear A and even the possibility of reconstructing aspects of the Minoan language.Βιβλιοκρισία του A.

The Wall Paintings of the West House at Mycenae

Working tools, toilet implements, and personal adornments in weapon burials at Early Iron Age Athens and Lefkandi
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 27-52
The analysis of the evidence, and the valorisation of objects rather neglected until now, led to the tracing of multiple male identities, and shows the complexity of the social background behind what was once called ‘warrior graves’.Repair, recycle or modify? The response to damage and/or obsolescence in Mycenaean metal vessels during the Prepalatial and Palatial periods and its implications for understanding metal recycling
Studi Micenei 3 (2017): 7-26
Many repairs were apparently linked to the prioritisation of other production factors over the final vessel appearance. Generally vessels of precious metals and lead were not repaired, nor were certain copper-alloy vessel forms. It is suggested that these were typically recycled instead, with different chains of reasoning leading to the same choice.Βιβλιοκρισία του N. Vogeikoff-Brogan, J.L. Davis & V. Florou (eds), Carl W.
