The 18th to 17th centuries B.C. on Crete was the period of great changes and social upheavals. Minoan Crete was a leading military power in the Aegean in the MBA and the wide mercantile activity depended on a political system co-ordinating private and public interests and providing security.

The variability present in the early developments of the technology of granulation, the most difficult gold-smithing technique to perfect and master, can be used to define and explore socio-economic relationships within the archaeological systems of the Early to Late Bronze Age Mediterranean.

The end of the Old Palace and beginning of the New Palace period on Crete saw, amongst other key events in Minoan history, fundamental changes in the popularity of certain ceramic vases, a statement also true for stone vessels. Amongst other developments was the revival of the importation and, presumably, direct use of Egyptian stone vessels.

This paper explores some of the factors of technological change, in terms of socio-political, environmental and economic-structural relationships, (and the dialectics between them). These 'factors of production' only partly coincide.

This paper presents new archaeological data from the mountainous and lowland areas of the Prefecture of Xanthi. A variety of projects of the 31st Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, such as autopsies, regular checks and actions to protect the antiquities, brought to light 21 unknown sites and new evidence about 12 already known sites.
The prehistoric site of Ofrynio Toumba is located 60 km west of Kavala, alongside the old highway Kavala-Thessaloniki, close to the modern settlement of Ofrynio and SW of Galepsos in the Municipality of Pangaion. The settlement belongs to the “low table tell” type of the Late Bronze Age.

During 2012, new drillings confirmed the discovery of Early and Middle Neolithic layers at the base of the tell at Dikili Tash, in its northeast side. The excavation, though, focused on sector 6, aiming towards the identification of the limits of ‘house 1’ (dated from around 4300-4200 BC), and the total investigation of its interior.

The present paper presents the wheel-made pottery from Building B at Thessaloniki Toumba. The main morphological and technological features of this pottery are examined according to the phases of the building and the main changes in terms of variability among the vases and their features are followed during the advanced LBA and the beginning of the EIA.

A system of caves has been developed on both slopes of the St. Nicolaou gorge, that is located on the foothills of Mt. Voras, approximately 13 kms west of the town of Aridea. “Avra”, “Keramikon”, “Bear”, “Varathron” and “Apothiki Antarton” caves are the most important concerning their archaeological interest.
The rescue excavation at Platamonas, at the site of «Trimpina 2/Platamon Stop», was conducted due to the works for the construction of the new national road. Two phases of site use were recognised: the earlier, which contained scarce remains of a LBA settlement and the later with abundant evidence from a LBA cemetery with «Mycenaeanising» types of grave goods.

The archaeological practice is a contemporary activity. Archaeological reasoning and interpretation reflects the way we think about ourselves and our social world. The way we manage the past is strongly determined by modern political and social issues and also affects the contemporary reality.

The hill of Aghios Andreas (425 m.) is located in southern Siphnos, Greece, in a dominant and highly strategic position, since it controls a large part of the island, as well as a large part of the Aegean Sea. A mighty fortified citadel was founded at the top of the hill during the Mycenaean period (13th century BC).
