This second volume on Early Cycladic (and Cycladicising) sculptures found in the Aegean, examines finds from mainland Greece, along with the rarer items from the north and east Aegean, with the exception of those discovered in the Cyclades (covered in the preceding volume), and of those found in Crete. The significance of these finds is that these are the principal testimonies of the influence of the Early Bronze Age Cycladic cultures in the wider Aegean. This influence is shown both by the export of sculptures produced in the Cyclades (and made of Cycladic marble), and of their imitations, produced elsewhere in the Aegean, usually of local marble. They hold the key, therefore, to the cultural interactions developing at this time, the so-called ‘international spirit’ manifest particularly during the Aegean Early Bronze II period.This was the time when the foundations of early Aegean civilisation were being laid, and the material documented is thus of considerable significance. The volume is divided into sections wherein contributions examine finds and their archaeological, social, and economic contexts from specific regions. It concludes with an overview of the significance and role of these objects in Early Bronze Age societies of the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean region. This will be the first time that this material has been systematically gathered together. Highly illustrated, it follows and builds on the successful preceding volume, Early Cycladic Sculpture in Context (Oxbow 2016).

Places are social, lived, ideational landscapes constructed by people as they inhabit their natural and built environment. An ‘archaeology of place’ attempts to move beyond the understanding of the landscape as inert background or static fossil of human behaviour. From a specifically mortuary perspective, this approach entails a focus on the inherently mutable, transient and performative qualities of 'deathscapes': how they are remembered, obliterated, forgotten, reworked, or revisited over time. Despite latent interest in this line of enquiry, few studies have explored the topic explicitly in Aegean archaeology. This book aims to identify ways in which to think about the deathscape as a cross between landscapes, tombs, bodies, and identities, supplementing and expanding upon well explored themes in the field (e.g. tombs as vehicles for the legitimization of power; funerary landscapes as arenas of social and political competition). The volume recasts a wealth of knowledge about Aegean mortuary cultures against a theoretical background, bringing the field up to date with recent developments in the archaeology of place.

Archaeological remains are ‘fragmented by definition’: apart from exceptional cases, the study of the human past takes into account mainly traces, ruins, discards, and debris of past civilizations. It is rare that things have been preserved as they were originally made and conceived in the past. However, not all the ancient fragmentary objects were the ‘leftovers’ from the past. A noticeable portion of them was part and parcel of the ancient materiality already in the form of a fragment or damaged item. In 2000, John Chapman, with his volume Fragmentation in Archaeology, attracted the attention of scholars on the need to reconsider broken artifacts as the result of the deliberate anthropic process of physical fragmentation. The phenomenon of fragmentation can be thus explored with more outcomes for a category of objects that played an important role inside the society: the figurines. Due to their portability and size, figurines are particularly entangled and engaged in social, spatial, temporal, and material relations, and – more than other artifacts – can easily accommodate acts of embodiment and dismemberment. The act of creation symmetrically also involves the act of destruction, which in turn is another act of creation, since from the fragmentation comes a new entity with a different ontology. Breaking contains the paradigms of life: creation and reparation, destruction and regeneration. The scope of this volume is to search for traces of any voluntary and intentional fragmentation of ancient artifacts, creating, improving, and sharpening the methods and principles for a scientific investigation that goes beyond single author impression or sensitivity. The comparative lens adopted in this volume can allow the reader to explore different fields taken from ancient societies of how we can address, assess, detect, and even discuss the action of breaking and mutilation of ancient figurines.

This survey by the Southern Euboea Exploration Project provides a wealth of intriguing information about fluctuations in long-term use and habitation in the Bouros-Kastri peninsula at the south-eastern tip of the Greek island of Euboia, and how the peninsula's use was connected to that of the main urban centre at Karystos.

This study presents the Early Helladic II ceramic roofing tile fragments from Zygouries, a site excavated by Carl Blegen more than a century ago. It is the first publication of an entire assemblage of Early Helladic roofing tiles, an oft-neglected find on archaeological sites. Details about the tiles' forms, features, and variability are presented first, followed by a production-oriented analysis reconstructing much of the chaIne operatoire and complementary volumetric and energetic analyses. The results of these studies allow for the local reception and sociopolitical implications of Zygouries's ceramic-tiled roof to be explored. The assemblage is then contextualized alongside other Early Helladic roofing tile assemblages and the material culture of the period to gain a clearer understanding of the broader cultural significance of such tiledroofs.

Nineteen contributions by eminent scholars cover topics in Greek Epigraphy, Ancient History, Archaeology, and the Historiography of Archaeology. The section on Epigraphy and Ancient History has a particular focus on Attica, whereas material from Eretria, Delphi, the Argolid, Aetolia, Macedonia, Samothrace, and Aphrodisias widens the picture. The section on Archaeology discusses cultural variation as well as matters of cult, myth, and style, especially in Attica, from the Chalcolithic to the Roman period. The final section on the History of Archaeology reviews the early history of archaeological research at sites such as Piraeus, Rhamnous, Marathon, Oropos, Pylos, and Eretria, based on unpublished archival sources as well as on preliminary sketches and architectural drawings by 19th century artists.

This volume contains the proceedings of the international conference Attica from the Late Bronze Age to the End of the Archaic Period. The Spatial Roots of Politics and Society, organised by the Italian Archaeological School at Athens and the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne on 10 and 11 June 2021. The venue was originally scheduled for 13 and 14 March 2020 in Athens, but the event fell victim to the global COVID19 crisis and was eventually reorganised as an online conference in June 2021. The conference was organised in connection with the research project Lands of Meaning. A GIS Study of Space and Social Praxis in Ancient Attica from the Mycenaean Age to the Birth of Democracy (1200-480 BC), which was carried out as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) between 2017 and 2019 at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The Lands of Meaning project aimed to re-examine the Athenian territory from the end of the Bronze Age to the beginning of the Classical period by considering Attica as a space that was socially constructed through a constant dialogue between the landscape and the communities that inhabited it. The aim of the project was to integrate the large amount of archaeological data collected throughout the 20th c. into a heuristic and hermeneutic framework that considers the spatial and ecological dimensions of historical, cultural, political and social phenomena. The Lands of Meaning project was originally conceived as a two-year pilot project to introduce new digital methods and heuristic social theories of space. The project will be further developed at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne as a long-term endeavour to incorporate space into archaeological thinking and to consider the material and territorial conditions of the emergence of the city-state in Athens and more broadly in ancient Greece. The conference programme can be found below. The presentations were not recorded to allow for a lively discussion. Most of the speeches given online were then converted into the contributions collected in this volume, supplemented by a chapter by Pavlos Karvonis on Roman Attica and a description of the Thorikos Archive by the Belgian team. Unfortunately, some of the lectures given at the conference could not be included in the volume. First of all, we would like to thank Emanuele Papi, Director of the Italian Archaeological School at Athens, who fully supported the project and proposed to host the conference, which was to take place in March 2020 at the School’s premises in Athens. Our heartfelt thanks go to our Greek colleagues from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Ephorates of Antiquities of Attica, Eleni Andrikou, Stella Chrysoulaki, Anastasia Gadolou and Christina Merkouri, who agreed to chair the conference sessions and led fascinating and disciplined discussions. We also invited four “titans” – as we amicably called them during the conference – to a final round of talks. Tonio Hölscher, Irene Lemos, Robin Osborne and François de Polignac took up the challenge and drew fascinating conclusions from the presentations, as well as some key ideas for the elaboration of ancient history from archaeological evidence. As it would have been difficult to render these lively thoughts into formal papers, we have decided to preserve them in our oral memory. Finally, we would like to thank the Italian Archaeological School at Athens for including the publication of the conference in its collections, as well as the two anonymous reviewers whose comments have given the authors food for thoughts. This book was published with the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the research unit “Trajectoires” (UMR 8215). While Nikolaos Arvanitis was involved in the organisation of the conference as part of his MSCA scholarship, Alain Duplouy compiled and edited all the contributions on his own. We are also indebted to Mariana Silva Porto, who thoroughly re-read all contributions, especially those written by non-native speakers, and significantly improved the texts. As a doctoral student working on the Paris project, she deserves full credit for contributing to the edition of the volume.
