Abstract
This article presents a holistic and reflexive process for archaeological fieldwork from inception to publication. The opportunities afforded by maturing digital techniques allowed fundamental rethinking of field laboratory practice paradigms. A number normally unquestioned aspects praxis were examined with the goal reorganizing information dynamics. Instead series disparate processes in during study publication phases, heterarchically-organized common framework bonded all work traditionally...
The author shows how better recovery techniques have allowed the early history of Mediterranean olive to be rewritten. Small scale exploitation is detectable in Neolithic, and widespread by Early Bronze Age. Users appear first attracted wood, fruit benefitting from pruning effect as bush becomes a tree. This process eventually results domestication—but this an unintended consequence production driven demand. story now aligns with model put forward Colin Renfrew's thesis 1972.
The excavations of the Cambridge Keros Project at early bronze age Dhaskalio and Kavos on Cycladic Island during 2006 2007 seasons are described. They were directed by Colin Renfrew with Olga Philaniotou as Associate Director Neil Brodie Giorgos Gavalas Assistant Directors. site is well-known for extensive looting which took place there 1950's.

This article presents previous research at Gournia, the overall goals of our project, a new plan settlement, and 2010–2012 excavations in eight areas: Pit House, Northwest Area, North Cemetery, Trench, Northeast House Aa, several rooms palace, He. Analytical sections discuss textual evidence; painted plasters; botanical remains. Our indicate that Gournia was first settled Final Neolithic period grew into an industrial town by Protopalatial period. Following Middle Minoan II destruction,...
The olive tree of Vouves in Crete, is considered the oldest producing world with an estimated age exceeding 4000 years. In present study, we sequenced two samples (from bottom and top tree) to elucidate genetic relation this ancient other cvs as well gain some insights about its origin. Our results showed that both have different origins, proving has been grafted at least one time. On basis whole genome sequences sample from same order than half-siblings accession corresponding present-day...
Neolithic Avgi is one of several sites that have been recently investigated in northern Greece. During the last decades, there has an outburst excavations Western and Central Macedonia, Greece are changing our knowledge period, to point it no precedent history research for any other region These intensive, large-scale excavations, with meticulous documentation stratigraphic information, systematic collection findings all sorts.2 Many follow internationallystandardised sampling protocols a...
This article argues that a holistic approach to documenting and understanding the physical evidence for individual cities would enhance our ability address major questions about urbanisation, urbanism, cultural identities economic processes. At same time we suggest providing more comprehensive data-sets concerning Greek represent an important contribution cross-cultural studies of urban development which have often overlooked relevant from Classical Greece. As example are advocating, offer...
This article aims to summarise the results of three periods fieldwork carried out since 2006. These are Cambridge Keros Project 2006–2008, Island Survey 2012–2013, and Keros-Naxos Seaways 2015–2018. Taken together, these form a coherent, large-scale project that aimed study maritime landscape in some depth, putting Kavos Dhaskalio sites broader context, while through excavation understanding great detail formation, use abandonment sanctuary site on large built-up area Dhaskalio.
Archaeobotanical data are often employed to reconstruct a site’s or region’s palaeoecology, human use of plants such as agricultural regimes, and the interplay between vegetation anthropogenic factors in palaeoenvironment. This paper aims show that context-specific integration helps guide focus beyond macroscale may thus add significantly reconstruction microscale activity areas. New archaeobotanical from four different find spots Lower Citadel Tiryns, Greece, dating Mycenaean Palatial...
First investigated archaeologically in 1963, it is only with the recent publication of 2006–2008 excavations that nature Early Bronze Age sanctuary and settlement on Keros becoming clear. Further investigations – a survey 2012–2013 2016–2018 have expanded our knowledge sanctuary. This paper sets out interdisciplinary research Keros, highlighting contribution panoply environmental techniques built into project methodology from its inception, all sampling taking place during excavation itself....
