Αντικείμενο του ΠΜΣ «Αρχαιολογία της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου: Ελλάδα, Αίγυπτος, Εγγύς Ανατολή» είναι η εκπαίδευση επιστημόνων στους θεματικούς άξονες της αρχαιολογίας, αιγυπτιολογίας, αρχαίας ιστορίας και των διαπολιτισμικών επαφών στην ανατολική Μεσόγειο της Εποχής του Χαλκού και των Ιστορικών Χρόνων. Επιπλέον, το ΠΜΣ στοχεύει α) στην απόκτηση ειδικών γνώσεων στη θεωρία και μεθοδολογία της ιστορικής και αρχαιολογικής έρευνας των πολιτισμών της ανατολικής Μεσογείου και κυρίως των τεχνικών και των αναλυτικών εργαλείων της για τη μελέτη και επιστημονική εμβάθυνση των θεωρητικών και εφαρμοσμένων πεδίων της αρχαιολογικής επιστήμης, καθώς και β) στην εξοικείωση των εκπαιδευόμενων με την κριτική επεξεργασία πρωτογενών και δευτερογενών πηγών και την ανάπτυξη της επιστημονικής μεθοδολογίας και των λειτουργικών εργαλείων για την διεξαγωγή έρευνας.

The microstructures and chemical compositions of some 15 faience objects from Crete spanning the period from Middle Minoan IIIA through to Late Minoan IA are determined using analytical scanning electron microscopy. The Minoan faience is compared with replicate faience beads produced in the laboratory using various combinations of manganese, copper and iron as colorants. The alkali contents of the replicate

Η Κεφάλα μεταξύ Σκοπέλας και Γουρνών: ένα πιθανό ιερό ελληνικών χρόνων. Αρχιτεκτονικά κατάλοιπα που εντοπίστηκαν στον λόφο Κεφάλα στη βόρεια-κεντρική Κρήτη κατά την επιφανειακή έρευνα The Pediada Survey Project, ανήκουν μάλλον σε κάποιο ιερό ελληνικών χρόνων παρά σε μια ακρόπολη ή ένα οχυρό. Την ταύτιση με το πρώτο ενισχύουν το χαμηλό ύψος του λόφου και η εύκολη πρόσβαση στην κορυφή από τα νότια, καθώς και το επιπεδοποιημένο πλάτωμα που τα αρχιτεκτονικά κατάλοιπα ορίζουν. Η ταύτιση των αρχιτεκτονικών καταλοίπων με ιερό ενισχύεται επίσης από την γεωγραφική θέση της Κεφάλας, κατά πάσα πιθανότητα, στα όρια των μεγάλων πόλεων-κρατών της Κνωσού και της Λύκτου-Χερσονήσου, αλλά και την καλής ποιότητας κεραμική που σχετίζεται με αυτά.

The most discussed natural catastrophe in the Mediterranean region is the major eruption of the Thera volcano. The third Thera and the Aegean World (1989) conference reached some agreement on its relative chronology: the catastrophe came when the Late Minoan IA pottery style was in use. The more recent identification of tephra at Mochlos (1995), however, suggests that the eruption occurred when the LM IA pottery was at its very end. It, in fact, started off the LM IB pottery style – the marine style. Irrespective of the exact absolute date of the eruption, an attempt will be made to pinpoint the effects it had at the Central Palace Sanctuary at Knossos.

This paper examines a set of the most characteristic decorated vases from the Temple Repositories at Knossos. The aim is to re-assess the date of the destruction of the shrine to which the Temple Repositories material belonged.

The study of pottery often serves as an indirect indicator of life’s terms, providing elements of social complexity as well as quotidian stories of anonymous people. This paper presents for the first time the innumerable sherds of LM IIIB date collected from 46 unexcavated sites in the Pediada region in Central Crete by Nikos Panagiotakis, through the Pediada Survey Project. The pottery, discussed in stylistic terms and geographical contexts, is put together on an imaginary land’s network, in order to
show the distribution and character of life in the Pediada, during a century or so.
