  • A Mycenaean pictorial vase from Midea

    Open AccessKatie DemakopoulouARTICLEOpuscula Annual of the Swedish…2020

    The Greek-Swedish excavations on the Mycenaean acropolis of Midea have brought to light a large amount of fine decorated pottery, which includes numerous fragmentary vases and sherds with pictorial decoration. This material has firmly established Midea as an important find-spot of figure-style pottery, like other great Mycenaean Argive centres, such as Mycenae, Tiryns and Berbati. This paper presents a remarkable pictorial vase recently found at …

  • The Gold and Silver Vessels and Other Precious Finds From the Tholos Tomb at Kokla in the Argolid

    Open AccessKatie Demakopoulou, Stephanie AulsebrookARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2018References: 7

    The Late Helladic IIB–IIIA1 tholos in the Kokla necropolis is a particularly important and intriguing tomb that can provide us with interesting insights into the wider social landscape of the Argolid just prior to the emergence of the Mycenaean palaces. Architecturally, the tomb itself is a unique mix of features derived from tholoi and chamber tombs; its entrance is adorned with what must be one of the earliest-surviving Mycenaean frescoes. This…

  • Clay paste characterization and provenance determination of Middle and Late Helladic vessels from Midea

    Open AccessKatie Demakopoulou, Nicoletta Divari-valakou et al.ARTICLEOpuscula Annual of the Swedish…2017

    Results of the Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) of 61 pottery samples of Middle and Late Helladic date from recent excavations in Midea are presented. Chronologically, the sampled pieces fall into two groups, the first of Middle Helladic and Late Helladic I/II, the second of LH III date, with most samples dating to LH IIIB or IIIC. The analyses suggest an Argive/North-eastern Peloponnesian provenance for the majority of the sampled pottery, sinc…

  • Excavations in Midea 2008–2009

    Excavations in Midea continued in 2008 and 2009 as a Greek-Swedish programme under the direction of Dr Katie Demakopoulou in collaboration with Dr Ann-Louise Schallin. On the lower west terrace of the Acropolis excavation continued in Trench C in order to conclude the investigation of the syrinx discovered in 2007. A small trench was opened in the interior of Room I to examine the deposit below its floor. Furthermore, the cleaning of a large area…

    Excavations in Midea continued in 2006 as a Greek-Swedish programme under the direction of Dr. Katie Demakopoulou in collaboration with Dr. Ann-Louise Schallin. In the Upper Acropolis remains of an Early Helladic II defensive system were uncovered. East of this and at a lower level, a floor deposit was excavated with abundant pottery of Early Helladic I date including typical examples of the Talioti Ware. In the West Gate area excavation continue…

  • Some Mycenaean tombs at Palaiokastro, Arcadia

    Open AccessKatie Demakopoulou, J H CrouwelARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1998References: 5

    This paper presents the results of brief investigations, carried out by C. Christou in 1957, in a Mycenaean cemetery at Palaiokastro in NW Arcadia. The pottery and bronzes collected from the chamber tombs mostly date to LH IIIC, a period hitherto scarcely documented in this part of Greece. The finds, which include some remarkable pots, a type II bronze sword and other weaponry, reveal links with other parts of mainland Greece and beyond

  • Mycenaean black inlaid metalware in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens

    Open AccessKatie Demakopoulou, E Mangou et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1995Cited by: 3References: 5

    Current technical interest in the nature of the black inlaid decoration on ancient metalware has stimulated an examination of some of the well-known bronze daggers, silver vessels, and other fragments, all with inlaid decoration and dating to the 16–14th centuries BC, from Mycenae, Prosymna, Dendra, Routsi, and Pylos. Results of non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis point to great versatility in working with copper (or bronze)–gold–silver a…

  • Excavations at the Circular Building, Perachora

    Open AccessR A Tomlinson, Katie DemakopoulouARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1985References: 1

    The results of trial excavations conducted in the area above the head of the Heraion Valley, Perachora, are presented. It is argued that the circular building discovered is a collecting tank for rain-water, constructed in the fifth century BC, and a strong candidate for identification as the ‘circular building’ of Xenophon Hellenika IV v, despite the fact that it is not by the lake

  • Some Mycenaean Pictorial Pottery from Boeotian Thebes

    Open AccessKatie Demakopoulou, J H CrouwelARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1984References: 5

    Eight fragments of Mycenaean pictorial pottery discovered in excavations conducted by K. Demakopoulou in 1973 at 29 Pindar Street, Thebes, are described and discussed. An appendix presents a chemical analysis of the fragments. Comparison with other Mycenaean pictorial pottery and the chemical analysis leads to the same conclusion, that the first five samples were made at a Boeotian centre, not necessarily far from Thebes, while examples 6 and 7 w…
