Symbols of Minoan Hieroglyphic Script and Linear A in Melos from the Middle of 3rd Millennium BC
Two sets of vessels of the Early Cycladic period were found in 1996 and 1997 at the Rivari site of Melos Island.These sets of vessels which belong mainly to EC III (Kastri phase) are dated to the second half of the 3rd millennium (2500-2200 BC).18 undecorated shallow bowls from these bear graved symbols that are commonly called "potter's marks".These symbols are somewhat similar to the Greek capitals , M, , N, T, X, O, but after an epigraphic stu…
Wadi Sharara
After a Bedouin’s suggestion, we discovered a new Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) site marked by the locals as Wadi Sharara. It is a hilltop that rises above a steep turn of the Wadi al-Hasa Gorge. The excavation of the Aegean University at the site took place in two periods in 2011 and 2012 and revealed seven loci at the top of a hill (Fig. 2), while two other constructions remained unclear, one of which was located far from the others in a stron…
Who ate the birds
The taphonomic analysis of avian remains from Sarakenos Cave reveals that, contrary to previous suggestions, many bird bones excavated there represent food remains of the Eagle Owls rather than humans. The conclusion is based on the presence of traces of digestion, beak and claw punctures, and indirect evidence that includes relative preservation of particular elements, species composition, the lack of cut marks, and the absence of numerous trace…

The Neolithic and Mesolithic occupation of the cave of Cyclope, Youra, Alonnessos, Greece
The cave of Cyclope is situated on the SW side of the island of Youra, 16 miles from Alonnessos. Systematic research in the cave lasted from 1992 to 1996. The upper layers, which date to the Roman period, contained mainly lamps. In the centre of the cave a Middle Neolithic stratum yielded a mass of pottery of exceptional red-on-white decoration. In cutting C, near the entrance, the upper layers belonged to Late Neolithic I (5th millennium BC) and…
Late Neolithic remains at Tharrounia, Euboea
Systematic excavation from 1986 to 1990 in the Skoteini cave indicated that it was heavily used during LN I–II (5300/5200–3300/3200 BC); Early Helladic, Mycenaean, and later finds were insignificant. The abundance of Neolithic pottery and the detailed study of the stratigraphy have elucidated the LN pottery sequence. A trial excavation was carried out in the immediate vicinity of the cave, where remains of a Neolithic settlement exist. In spite o…
The Neolithic of the Dodecanese and Aegean Neolithic Culture
Excavations of neolithic sites in the Aegean are summarized. The essential characteristics of the Aegean Neolithic are discussed with particular reference to settlements: a series of ‘cultural units’ resulting from this discussion are analysed, and their chronology compared
