Back to the Beginning: Reassessing Social and Political Complexity on Crete during the Early and Middle Bronze Age
edited by I. Schoep, P. Tomkins and J. Driessen
Ever since their first discovery, more than a century ago, the Minoan Palaces have dominated scholarship on the Cretan Bronze Age.

Mountains of Silver and Rivers of Gold: The Phoenicians in Iberia
by Ann Neville
The traditional picture of the Phoenicians in Iberia is that of wily traders drawn there by the irresistible lure of the fabulous mineral wealth of the El Dorado of the ancient world. However, a remarkable series of archaeological discoveries, starting in the 1960s, have transformed our understanding of the Phoenicians and allow us to glimpse a picture of life in the Far West that is far richer, and more complex, than the traditional mercantile ...

Cretan Bronze Age Pithoi: Traditions and Trends in the Production and Consumption of Storage Containers in Bronze Age Crete
by Kostandinos S Christakis
The pithos is one of the most distinctive utilitarian forms of the Cretan Bronze Age ceramic repertoire.

The pithoi as pottery and their significance for the understanding of the Cretan Bronze Age economy has been the focus of a research project carried out ...
