Abstract
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Mycenaeans up to date: The
archaeology of the north-eastern Peloponnesecurrent concepts and new directions,
which was held on 1016 November 2010, under the auspices of the Swedish Institute
at Athens. The published papers reveal the latest news in the field of Mycenaean
archaeology in the Argolid and the surrounding areas. Ongoing fieldwork, as well as new
interpretations of the extant archaeological material is presented and discussed in
detail. The first part of the volume consists of papers dealing with new, unpublished
evidence regarding many of the well-known Argive sites, including Mycenae, Tiryns,
Argos, Midea, and the Nemea Valley, among others. The second part is devoted to in-
depth studies on a number of major themes, such as Mycenaean architecture,
administration, mortuary practices and religion.

Role of Ceramics in Early Greece organised by the University of Athens (UoA) and the
Universit libre de Bruxelles (ULB), and held at the Universit libre de Bruxelles in
November 2013. The papers are divided in five parts, following the themes of the
conference: production and workshops, context and function, pottery and rituals,
mobility and interaction, iconography and early society. Emphasis is placed on ancient
ceramics as valuable testimonies to human expressions, reflecting the needs, aspirations
and ideas of the societies that produced and used them.

[Mycenaean

Abstract
Mycenaean civilisation and its achievements are primarily associated with lowland and
coastal areas. Surplus production and trade led to the formation of strong centres of
power. But what happened in the mountainous, landlocked country of the
Peloponnese? All the handbooks of Mycenaean studies regard Arcadia as a sparsely
populated and largely isolated area, where the mainstream Mycenaean world arrived
relatively late. Is this really true and, if so, to what extent? Judging from the
subsequent historical data, the very position of Arcadia among the powerful
Peloponnesian states predetermines its fate. Palatial centres flourished in the Late
Helladic Argolid, Messenia and Laconia. Research conducted in the past few decades
in the W and NW Peloponnese and beyond, in areas that were previously considered
as periphery of the Mycenaean world, has refuted this image and demonstrated
that prosperous settlements and important local centres developed in the non-palatial
world as well. But, the situation in the heart of the Peloponnese is still obscure. This
book is an attempt to reconstruct the image of Mycenaean Arcadia based on the
archaeological and topographical data, more than four decades after the systematic
investigation of R. Howell (BSA 1970) in the region.

Abstract
The volume presents the study of the material associated with textile manufacture,
deriving from the Neolithic and Minoan levels of Phaistos and Ayia Triada. It includes 6
chapters and 5 technical appendixes. In the first chapter, the archaeological sequence of
both sites is described with particular attention to the areas and periods with more
important evidence of textile production. In chapter II, the nature and consistence of
this evidence is discussed. Only some of the tools used during the different phases of
the chane opratoire of textile manufacture are found in the archaeological record as
many of them are of perishable material and the surviving items, mainly spind-whorls
(SW) and loom-weights (LW), are often difficult to identify due to the unspecialised
nature of the tools themselves. Chapter III includes the catalogue of tools divided
according to sites, classes (SW, LW, spinning vases, needles, other materials, textiles)
and typologies. The following information for each item is supplied: provenance, year of
excavation, current location, morphology, fabric, measurements (in mm) and weight (in
grams). Chronology is also added where possible unless it is given for the whole class,
e.g. for kylix stems or spools. In chapter IV, the different typologies of SWs and LWs are
analysed according to morphology, fabric, use, wear and metrical data. In chapter V,
find contexts are analysed according to sites, chronological horizons, areas, rooms,
spaces and loci. Contexts have been reconstructed bottom up, starting from all the
items with the same provenance (forming a group), therefore when possible linking
the groups in deposit i.e., sets of tools originally belonging to the same systemic
context. After the careful review of the contexts, chapter VI atempts a wider
reconstruction of the technical and social transformations of textile manufacture in
Phaistos and Ayia Triada from the Neolithic to the final Bronze Age.

Abstract
How does intentionally inflicting damage to material objects mediate the human
experience in the prehistoric eastern Mediterranean? For all of the diversity in cultural
practice in the civilisations of the Greek mainland and Aegean islands, Crete, Cyprus and
the eastern coast of Italy between 4000-750 BC, archaeologists consider the custom of
ritually killing objects as a normative, if inconsistent practice. Yet as artefacts that are
alike only in that they have been disarticulated, intentionally destroyed objects defy
easy characterization. Such pieces frequently stand outside of clearly defined patterns.
This volume is an initial step in addressing a gap in the scholarship by aiming to
deconstruct and contextualize the practice of intentional fragmentation. The case
studies in this volume present a diverse range of evidence, including pottery, lithics,
metals, jewellery, figurines, buildings and human remains, in an exploration of the wide
spectrum of meanings behind material destruction.

Abstract (in German)
Um die Mitte des 9. Jhs. v. Chr. bringen die Tpfer und Vasenmaler auf Kreta einen
eigenwilligen geometrischen Keramikstil hervor, dessen Hauptmerkmale kurvolineare
Ornamente und erste figrliche Darstellungen nach dem Ende der bronzezeitlichen
minoischen Kultur sind. Besonders die Ornamente - Schlaufenlinien, Spiralen und
Flechtbnder - sind in der Forschung hufig auf nahstlichen Einfluss zurckgefhrt
worden. Nach einem berblick ber die Entwicklung der kretischen Vasenformen von
der Mitte des 9. Jhs. bis zum Ende des 8. Jhs. v. Chr. wird der Dekor der Gefe
analysiert. Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf der Frage, ob der Kontakt, den die Kreter mit den
Kulturen des Vorderen Orients hatten, als Stimulus ausreichend gewesen ist, um die
Ornamentsysteme der Gefe zu beeinflussen oder ob nicht auch eine autochthone
Entwicklung denkbar ist, die aus einem Rckgriff auf eigene knstlerische Traditionen
resultiert.

Abstract
This volume presents the proceedings of the 9th annual conference in Postgraduate
Cypriot Archaeology (POCA 2009), which was held at the Ioannou Centre for Classical
and Byzantine Studies, University of Oxford from the 19th to the 21st of November
2009. POCA 2009 encompassed 24 presentations by postgraduate students and young
researchers, coming from a number of institutions and universities in Europe and the
United States. The meeting provided a unique opportunity for the new generation of
Cypriot archaeologists to present their work and interact in a friendly and productive
environment.
The papers included in this volume cover a wide time-span, ranging chronologically from
the Chalcolithic period to the Medieval times. They present the results of new
archaeological excavations and research, and comprise archaeological, anthropological
and scientific approaches to the material culture of ancient Cyprus.

Exploring mobility patterns and biological affinities in the southern Aegean: first insights
from Early Bronze Age eastern Crete
Sevi Triantaphyllou, Efthymia Nikita & Thomas Kador
The Annual of the British School at Athens 110 (2015): 3-25
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a pilot project which combines, for the first time,
biodistance and strontium isotope analyses in the study of human skeletal remains from
Early Bronze Age Crete (third millennium BC). Information from these analyses offers, in
a direct way, insights into the biological distance, and consequently the gene flow and
mobility patterns, among human populations in eastern Crete. The results are
synthesised with the evidence of funerary practices in order to explore the nature of
interaction among communities in eastern Crete. The biodistance analysis supports a
strong genetic affinity between the populations represented at the two Kephala Petras
skeletal assemblages, while the results of the available strontium isotope analysis favour
their local origin; thus the combined results suggest the lack of significant population
influx. The biological distance of the two chronologically contemporary populations at
Livari-Skiadi, also manifesting completely different patterns of mortuary disposal, is of
particular interest since it contrasts with the Petras situation and raises issues of intra-
community distinctions, cultural and biological.
The beginnings of writing on Crete: theory and context

Silvia Ferrara
Abstract
This article examines the inception of writing on Crete in the second millennium BC from
a fresh methodological perspective. It aims to develop a synoptic understanding of the
origin, purpose, experience, and significance of the earliest attestations of writing on the
island, to investigate the context of its creation, and to explore the cultural triggers that
underlie the application of writing in the context of Middle Minoan Crete. Three key
points are considered: the problematic definition of early writing on Crete, the possible
identification of the subject matter of the Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions on sealstones,
and the scripts level of indebtedness to pre-existing models. These paths of
investigation are also crucial points of departure for understanding the phenomenon of
early writing in more general terms, from a multidisciplinary perspective that seeks to
advocate a synergic collaboration between anthropology, archaeology, epigraphy and
sociolinguistics.

Adornment, ritual and identity: Inscribed Minoan jewellery
Josephine Verduci & Brent Davis
Abstract
In this paper, we re-examine inscribed items of Minoan jewellery in the light of the
increasing number of studies on ancient eastern Mediterranean jewellery and its
meanings. We reach a fourfold conclusion. First: as these objects, with one exception,
are clearly associated with adult females, while the exception (a ring) cannot be
affiliated with a particular gender or age, inscribed Minoan jewellery seems so far to lie
mostly outside the purview of men. Second: these objects were almost certainly used to
construct and broadcast the elite identity (and perhaps authority) of the people who
wore them. Third: the objects may also have served as apotropaic amulets and/or
symbols of rites of passage for their wearers, thus expressing certain rituals associated
with the lives of the people who wore them. Fourth: inscribed items of Minoan jewellery
may have played an active role in linking elite Minoan (and particularly elite
Minoan female) identity and authority to the divine.
The formation and use of dromoi in Early Mycenaean tombs

Nikolas Papadimitriou
Abstract
The paper examines how the dromos emerged as an architectural feature in Mycenaean
tombs and why it became the standard type of access device. It focuses on collective
tombs with lateral entrances of LH I and transitional LH I/IIA date in mainland Greece,
but considers also a number of MH tombs with side entrances. The first part discusses
the architectural evidence. The second part examines permanent installations and
evidence of possible ritual activities from dromoi. The third part explores the symbolic
and performative aspects of dromoi. It is argued that the dromos was not an integral
part of Mycenaean funerary architecture from the very beginning, but came about
gradually out of a long process of experimentation, which originated in MH tumuli and
was completed in late LH I or LH I/IIA tholoi and chamber tombs. This process merged
different building traditions and combined practical considerations with new ritual
needs arising at a period of intense social and cultural change.
Mycenaean lapidary craftsmanship: the manufacturing process of stone vases

Elise Morero
Abstract
The first substantial corpus of developed and complex stone vases emerged on the
Greek mainland in the shaft graves of Mycenae (Middle Helladic III Late Helladic I) and

was certainly, in large part, of Minoan origin. However, a Mycenaean industry appeared
in the Late Helladic III period, which suggests a link with Minoan technology. Indeed,
there is an extremely strong possibility that expatriate craftsmen had gradually
transmitted their knowledge to local Mycenaean apprentices. A technological study of a
corpus of 24 stone vases from Mycenae, dated to the Late Helladic I/IIIII, enables the
identification and reconstruction of the manufacturing processes and techniques
involved in mainland production. It appears to be the case that a great part of the
Mycenaean know-how derives from contact with Minoan craftsmanship. However, if a
large number of technical elements (use of tubular drilling for the hollowing process,
production of the vessels in several parts) may come from a Minoan heritage, the
Mycenaeans seem to have quickly developed their own approach with their own
technological emphases, serving purely Mycenaean forms. The vase, based on
separately made elements, was a Minoan approach but became properly a mainland
concept, which appeared far less commonly in other regions of the eastern
Mediterranean. Similarly, the single-tool approach developed for the drilling process (for
hollowing the interior of the vessels and for cutting the inlay decoration of the exterior),
entirely based on the use of the tubular drill, is purely a native one and is uncommon
among eastern Mediterranean vessel traditions. A technological study indicates also the
possible coexistence of different types of organisation in the Mycenaean workshops.
Thus, the manufacturing processes used, as well as the organisation of the production,
are distinct from those of other eastern Mediterranean centres, including Crete.
The Minoan amphoroid krater: from production to consumption

J.H. Crouwel & C.E. Morris
Abstract
This article focuses on a distinct type of clay vessel which formed part of both the Late
Minoan and the Mycenaean repertoire: the amphoroid krater. In contrast to the
Mycenaean version of the shape, with its often elaborate decoration of chariots and
other pictorial designs, the Minoan amphoroid krater has up to now not received much
attention. The present paper intends to redress this imbalance by exploring the origin
and development of the Minoan amphoroid krater, its function(s) and its relationship
with its Mycenaean counterpart.
On the architecture of the Toumba building at Lefkandi

Georg Herdt
Abstract
The building at Toumba, Lefkandi, stands unique in its time and place. The remains of
this monument are significant in terms of size and elaboration, and also on account of
the way it has been reconstructed and interpreted as the ancestor of the Greek
peripteral temple. The primary concern of this article is the structural evaluation of the

architectural remains. In part due to the scant nature of the archaeological evidence
behind the widely accepted reconstruction, the latter can be seen to have several
structural shortcomings. In reassessing the structure several factors are considered,
including the state of technology at the time of construction, the characteristics of the
building materials employed, and the way they respond to the strains of load and the
forces of nature. The process of reconciling such factors with the documented remnants
of the building directs us towards a different reconstruction. It thus emerges that the
building at Toumba is an implausible ancestor of Greek peripteroi, and an alternative
solution without the iconic pre-peristasis is proposed here.
New perspectives on stone bead technology at Bronze Age Troy

Geoffrey Ludvik, Mark J. Kenoyer, Magda Pieniek & William Aylward
Anatolian Studies 65 (2015): 1-18
Abstract
Stone beads from the site of Troy, Turkey, have been studied in order to understand
better the nature of lapidary technology and trade during the third to second
millennium BC in this part of Anatolia. Eighteen carnelian and two rock crystal beads
were documented through visual examinations, measurement and photography to
identify the raw material, as well as general aspects of manufacture and style. Silicone
impressions of the drill holes as well as some of the engraved surfaces were made in
order to study the nature of drilling and abrasion under a Scanning Electron Microscope.
Through these studies, it is possible to identify the presence of different types of bead
production and drilling technology during each major chronological period at the site.
Some of the beads may have been produced at Troy or at nearby sites in Anatolia while
others have links to the southern Aegean and eastern Mediterranean regions as well as
the more distant regions of Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.
Zur vorgriechischen Geschichte von Imbros aus philologischer Sicht

Simon Zsolt
Ancient West and East 14 (2015): 1-21
Abstract
The pre-Greek history of Imbros, i.e. the period before the arrival of the Athenians, is
still unclear, despite renewed archaeological activities. Thus, the early history of the
island can still be written only with the help of philology, which, however, provides only
fragmentary data. Early investigation identified the first inhabitants of the island with
Carians, who were followed by Thracians and, between 700 and 550 BC, by
Tyrrhenians/Pelasgians. The crucial difference between early and current research is
that the linguistic reality of these terms and the historical-ethnic landscape of Late
Bronze Age and Early Iron Age western Anatolia are much better understood nowadays.
The starting point of this investigation is a new interpretation of the classical sources,
the name of Imbros itself and the remaining onomastic data (including an assumed local
god called Imbrasos). The analysis leads to the following sketch: the first identifiable

inhabitants spoke a so-called Luwic language and were followed by the Tyrrhenians after
1200 BC. The arriving Greeks found therefore a mixed Luwic-Tyrrhenian population.
However, since Imbros was treated as a Tyrrhenian island by Greek authors, it can be
surmised that the Tyrrhenians have assimilated the local, Luwic-speaking population and
only Tyrrhenians dwelled in the island during the Greek period. Finally, it will be argued
that Imbramos is in fact a Carian and not an Imbrian deity.
The role of Cyprus in Philistine settlement

Alexander Zukerman
Ancient West and East 12 (2013): 17-46
Abstract
This study presents a critical evaluation of the existing theories concerning the
emergence of Philistine culture, with special reference to the role of Cyprus in this
process. To this end, an updated comparative analysis of Philistine pottery is presented
and functional as well as symbolic aspects of this assemblage are explored. It is
suggested that during the first decades of Philistine settlement a crystallisation of the
new ethnic identity took place among the immigrants, and the material culture of 12th-
century BC Cyprus was consciously rejected as a differentiating strategy. Therefore,
although most of the settlers originated from the Aegean and not from Cyprus, the
island played a central role in Philistine ethnogenesis.
I vasi con marchio a rivielo da Haghia Triada protopalaziale

Giorgia Baldacci
Annuario della Scuola Archeologica di Atene e delle Missioni Italiane in Oriente XC (2013)
[2015]: 159-173
Abstract
This paper deals with a group of protopalatial (MM IB - MM IIB) vessels found at the site
of Hagia Triada, all bearing a mark on the bottom. The complete study of all the pottery
recovered during the systematic investigation of the protopalatial levels of the site,
carried out by La Rosa from 1978 to 2011, has led to the identification of 9 vases or
fragments characterized by a mark, in the form of a low relief left by the upper,
removable part of the potters wheel (the so-called bat). Such marks are present only on
a few vases, both open and closed shapes with a semicoarse fabric. Sometimes they
include motifs very close to those found at Hagia Triada, as well as on similar vessels
from the nearby palatial site of Phaistos and Kommos. In the present paper, the marks
are not considered per se, but within the framework of a technological, typological and
contextual analysis of the vessels involved. On the basis of such analysis it is argued that
the marks must be interpreted as potters marks and that they were related to a
controlled process of production of the vases.

Lets start form (a) scratch: New ways of looking at vessels function
Bartomiej Lis
Archeologia LXI (2012): 7-14
Abstract
The article discusses various types of use-wear that can be observed on Mycenaean
tableware. It is demonstrated that careful analysis and interpretation of such traces can
provide new insights into the vessels function. Material presented here derives from

two sites, Lefkandi and Tsoungiza, and provides evidence for at least three types of
abrasion on vessels surfaces. These surface marks are illustrated throughout with
numerous photographs. The most visible type of use-wear, which is attested on a
variety of forms, consists of heavy abrasion of exterior rim and protruding part of lower
body. This wear pattern is associated with scooping action from coarse containers, like
cooking pots, pithoi, or vats.

Gifts to the goddess. A gold ring from Mylopotamos, Rethymnon

Eleni Papadopoulou with an appendix by Nikos Kallithrakas-Kontos & Noni Maravelaki-
Kalaitzaki
Mitteleilungen des Deutschen Archologischen Instituts. Athenische Mitteilungen 126 (2011)
[2014]: 1-27
Abstract
The bezel of a gold signet ring was found during the excavation of an important tholos
tomb southwest of Perama Mylopotamou, in use from LM IIIA1 until the beginning of
LM IIIB. The representation on the golden foil of the bezel consists of three religious
themes corresponding to interconnected iconographic fields: a tree cult, an epiphany
and an arrangement of offerings. The scene depicts the moment when the goddess has
just arrived in the terrestrial world; the deity is portrayed alone in her anthropomorphic
form, seated in the sacred place. All constituent elements of the scene point to the
lifecycle of plants and obviously signify the life-giving powers of nature that ensure its
everlasting fruitfulness. Besides this new evidence for the subject of Minoan religion,
the bezel also raises interesting hermeneutical questions with regard to the artistically
innovative rendering of the sacred gifts as well as the symbolic unification of the human
and divine worlds.
Jagddarstellungen in der sptmykenischen Kunst der Palast- und Nachpalastzeit

Christian Vonhoff
[2014]: 29-61
Abstract
The present article concerns the genre of hunting depictions in Mycenaean art of the
Palatial and Postpalatial periods (LH III-C). After briefly surveying extant hunting images
from the Early Mycenaean period (LH I-II), I present and give a stylistic analysis of the
extant Late Mycenaean works of art, which comprise sealstones, products of
metalworking, wall and vase paintings and larnakes. Besides presenting the relevant
depictions and discussing the predominant media for hunting iconography in each
period, I illustrate artistic influences from other major cultures and also discuss the
different layers of meaning that Late Mycenaean hunting depictions contain. These
include the public display of aristocratic hunting skills, the concomitant social

legitimation of the ruling classes vis--vis the ordinary population and the military
training of young men and their initiation in the elite circles of Mycenaean society. In
addition to this, the overarching context of hunting depictions, zooarchaeological
evidence and the ritual of the aristocratic feast is highlighted.
Neolithic pottery from the DAI collection: Attica

Mercourios Georgiadis
[2013]: 1- 43
Abstract
The Neolithic period in Attica has attracted limited attention in the past in comparison
to other parts of Greece. The presentation of the finds from the DAI collection allows a
new assessment of the pottery types that were produced in Neolithic Attica as well as a
diachronic analysis of the settlements in this region. A number of new sites are
presented as well as others from which limited or no finds have been published. This
article has allowed a general, but regional presentation of pottery trends through the
Neolithic phases from Attica. Thus, comparisons with other neighbouring regions such
as Boiotia, Euboia, the Cyclades and the Peloponnese can be made, underlining the
common as well as the regional peculiarities. Furthermore, the diachronic analysis of the
settlement patterns from the EN to the FN phase reveals different preferences and
choices according to the changing socio-economic conditions of each period. Similar
patterns and divergences can be seen in other regions, like the Peloponnese, Central
Greece, Thessaly and the Aegean islands, where analogous studies or systematic surveys
have been conducted. Finally, an overall picture of Neolithic Attica is provided in an
attempt to understand how this region developed through time.
Dragojna. Eine sptbronzezeitliche Hhensiedlung in den bulgarischen Rhodopen mit

importierter mykenischer Keramik
Elena Bozhinova, Reinhard Jung & Hans Mommsen
[2013]: 45-97
Abstract
This contribution discusses the Late Bronze Age site of Dragojna, which is situated at the
northern fringe of the Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria. The local ceramic find material is
presented in representative quantity, classified according to its regional and
transregional context, and evaluated in terms of its significance for the dating of the
settlement site and the relative dating of Late Bronze Age cultural groups in the central
Balkan region. In addition to handmade local pottery, fragments of Mycenaean ceramics
were also found at Dragojna. The latter are classified typologically and chronologically
and their provenance - a coastal area of Thessaly - is determined by means of chemical
analysis (neutron activation analysis). Finally, Mycenaean contacts with the Thracian
regions in the middle Mycenaean period are summarized and discussed against the

background of the new finds from Dragojna and taking account of the Aegean-type
bronze weapons known from Bulgaria.
Der Heilige Baum und Kultkontinuitt im Heraion von Samos

Wolf-Dietrich Niemeier & Yannis Maniatis
[2013]: 99-117
Abstract
In 2009, the so-called Sacred Tree at the Samian Heraion - a cult tree marking the
Bronze Age origin of the sanctuary according to . Walter, a tree grown fortuitously in
Archaic times according to H. Kienast - was excavated for a third time. In the process, it
was discovered to be a stump deposited rather than a tree having grown in its eventual
find spot. The tree was felled at an age of approximately 60 years in 676 11 B.C., as
established by wiggle matching. The deposition of its stump in the centre of the
sanctuary is indicative of its cultic importance, possibly as a xoanon or other ritual
marker, which was laid to rest here. The temporary removal of the stump provided an
opportunity to re-examine the Bronze Age pavings A and B, which had already been
identified by H. Walter and A. Clemente in this location. Conical cups, partly deposited -
as in Cretan Neopalatial sanctuaries -upside-down on paving A, demonstrate, along with
pottery of Minoan type from Walters excavations, that the Samian Heraion - like the
sanctuary of Athena at Miletus - is Minoan in origin.

da es keinen so gelehrten und tchtigen Mann gibt als Sie: The Heinrich Schliemann-
Wilhelm Drpfeld correspondance, 1879-1890
Stefanie A. H. Kennell
[2013]: 257-308
Abstract
Previous studies of the relationship between Wilhelm Drpfeld and Heinrich
Schliemann, as well as the influence each exerted upon the other, have been based
largely on the editions of Ernst Meyer (Briefwechsel II has only seven letters by Drpfeld
and eight from Schliemann), remarks contained in the Herrmann - Maa edition of the
Schliemann -Virchow correspondence, and some letters by Drpfeld to his father-in-law
Friedrich Adler (Archives, DAI Berlin). The Gennadius Library in Athens, however, holds
more than 130 letters by Drpfeld from the years 1879 and 1881 -1889, as well as
copies of more than 70 letters from Schliemann to Drpfeld 1881-1890. This study of
the letters, many of them still unpublished, illuminates the nature and development of
the historically significant Drpfeld - Schliemann collaboration appreciably on both the
personal and the professional levels, not least with regard to Drpfelds increasing

responsibilities at the DAI and Schliemanns role in providing the Athens Institute with a
permanent home.

FIELD SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES AT
KISSONERGA-SKALIA IN CYPRUS
G. Myrtsioti, , 16/2/2016
Excavations at Kissonerga-Skalia, conducted
annually from 2007 by Dr. Lindy Crewe of
the University of Manchester, have
; revealed a settlement that was
continuously occupied from at least the
beginning of the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2500
; BC) into the start of the Late Bronze Age
(ca. 1600 BC). Located in the west coastal
plain of the island of Cyprus, the site lies
only three hundred meters from the
Mediterranean Sea. Archaeological remains
at Skalia consist primarily of multiple
superimposed phases of rectilinear
architecture, with a pre-Bronze Age
component and a final phase of large-scale
architecture. This season, we will be
. running two excavation teams, focussing on
1.890.000 distinct chronological phases of the site, the
pre-Bronze Age deposits (Chalcolithic, c.
3900-2500 BC) and those dating to the
, , transition to the Late Cypriot Bronze Age (c.
1650 BC).
