The study aims at elucidating the circulation of Mycenaean-type and Italo-Mycenaean-type vessels across southern Italy. For comparison with Punta di Zambrone, we have focused on ceramics from the RBA levels of Roca Vecchia, as this is a coastal settlement, which, according to previous studies, yielded both Aegean imports and local or regional Italo-Mycenaean products, all well-stratified in a continuous ertical settlement se uence. The chemical analysis identified a ew imports rom Greece (mainly rom Achaea Elis) and many Apulian products (forming two chemical groups), some of which adhere closely to the Mycenaean style, while others are of Italo-Mycenaean type. These Apulian chemical groups are absent from the previously analysed pots from Punta di Zambrone. One medium coarse pithos from Roca Vecchia turned out to be an import from the southern plain of Sybaris, i.e. the same region that is represented with a ew Mycenaean fine-ware essels at Punta di ambrone.

The aim is to identify possible production areas for some wheelmade vessels of Aegean type and better define raw materials and paste recipes for the local handmade impasto ware. By integrating petrographic and NAA results, one reliable group emerged, which refers to the local specialised production of Recent Bronze Age (RBA) open shapes. A filter test allowing larger elemental variances was applied on NAA data in order to identify further groups (named special groups) to be specifically compared with petrographic fabrics. The special NAA group Ul41 and petro group 3, including local reference materials such as daub fragments, correlate well. Furthermore, the concentration pattern of Ul41 is close to that of local clay deposits (Cava Monaca and Fiumara Jona). The RBA closed shapes show a lower correspondence between geochemical and petrographic results, presumably attributable to less standardised production processes.

The main set of data comes from the combined macroscopic and X-Ray analyses on pottery discovered at the palace of Ayios Vasileios in Laconia. Additional material of Argive/NE Peloponnesian provenance was examined as well for comparative reasons. The latter comes from Tiryns and Tall Zirā'a, Jordan. Although growing evidence suggests that wheel-forming techniques can be more variable than one would have traditionally thought, very few studies have examined the use of the potter's wheel during the Mycenaean period and the underlying craft behaviours. Our study suggests that the knowledge of this tool in the Argolid and central Laconia was not associated with the wheel-throwing technique but the so-called wheel-coiling, and was based on similar levels of expertise. However, we can also observe variations between these two regions, especially in the ways of mastering the rotary device within the forming process. The manufacture of the wheelmade pottery in Mycenaean Greece implies thus a complex technological phenomenon that involved different potting communities participating in the social and economic organization of palatial pottery production.

Il programma editoriale, aperto a diversi ambiti tema-tici e metodologici, intende proporre lavori monografici e miscellanei, maturati nell'ambito di programmi di ricerca individuali e di équipe, valorizzando le esperienze di carattere interdisciplina-re e le proposte delle risorse più giovani dell'archeologia. Il titolo e l'idea di questa collana nascono a margine di una stimolante esperienza condivisa con gli studenti federiciani, a partire dal 2010, volta ad integrare la formazione delle discipline archeologiche con saperi diversi, da quelli scientifi-ci e naturalistici a quelli sperimentali, fino alle diverse dimensioni della professione. A tale prospet-tiva, che ci si augura possa essere sempre più diffusa nella formazione universitaria, questa collana intende apportare un nuovo contributo.

Competing for resources in prehistory«. The collected essays can once again be presented as a two volume publication within one year after the conference. The question of »Rich and Poor«, in other words of social inequality, is one of the fundamental questions in the development of human societies, at least since the beginning of recorded history. Already the oldest recorded human myth – the Epic of Gilgamesh – shows that this condition was also seen as a fundamental social problem. Since then, numerous models have been developed to compensate for inequality without making it disappear. To this day it is to a greater or lesser degree still part of the reality of social life. But has this always been the case? In the present two volumes, different theoretical approaches and case studies explore the origins and the implications of an unequal access to natural as well as social resources.

Divisa in otto sezioni, nasce come approfondimento di conoscenza della straordinaria civiltà, ricordata nei testi ittiti col nome di Aḫḫijawa, che, intorno alla metà del II millennio a.C., prende forma nella Grecia continentale, definita micenea dal nome del più importante sito di questa fase, Micene in Argolide. Essa occuperà l’intero arco della tarda età del Bronzo in Grecia, tra il XVII/ XVI e l’XI sec. a.C., definito Tardo Elladico.
Le tematiche in cui è suddiviso il progetto sono dedicate agli aspetti caratteristici della società micenea tramite testimonianze della cultura materiale che meglio potessero riflettere la ricchezza e la complessità sociale in questa fase della storia del Mediterraneo.

The ethnic mix of its material culture is also astonishing, with imports from Mycenaean Greece, Minoan Crete, Nuragic Sardinia, Hittite Anatolia, the Levant, and Egypt—a variety unparalleled at other contemporary Cypriot settlements. Since 2014, an international team consisting of members of the University of Ghent and Louvain in Belgium and of the Mediterranean Archaeological Society in Heraklion, Crete, has continued its exploration, concentrating on different areas of the 7-hectare hill. The aim of the new excavations is to obtain a better understanding of the social structure and internal organization of the site and of its importance for the continuing discussions on migration, interaction, and acculturation, which typify the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE in the Eastern Mediterranean. The volume is a detailed but preliminary account of the first six excavation campaigns (2014–2019) with a presentation of the archaeological material found in the different sectors of the hill. It also includes the first analyses of the different ceramic categories encountered and a report on the topographical work executed.
