material culture (such as pottery, burial architecture) and the intangible aspects of culture (for example the burial practices).
The article, reconsidering the recent excavation data, attempts to re-examine the peculiarities of LHIIIA/B Elis and to
incorporate them in the context of the so-called Mycenaean World.

However, during the last decades the archaeological research discovered numerous burial complexes, providing new data on the social structure and economy of this region. The article presents the main properties of the Elean Late Helladic III pottery, focusing on the idiosyncratic regional features of Late Helladic pottery from Elis and trying to reveal relationships with other regions.

The article contains not only statistical data on recent cases of thefts, clandestine excavations, confiscations, and repatriations of cultural goods but also information on law enforcement and the effort to establish a network to fight the phenomenon on an international level. Aspects such as conforming to the international law, monitoring auctions of antiquities, raising people's awareness, and reinforcing the current security status of museums and archeological sites are taken into consideration as successful methods for protecting the cultural heritage.

antiquities in the area of Trifylia at the dawn of the 20th century. The concept - term “protection” includes the
safeguarding of archaeological sites and monuments, the excavation and the preservation of its architectural
remains, and finally the storage, conservation and publication of the finds.
The presentation of the data is carried out by studying the official reports of safeguarding measurements
(in cooperation with the local communities), while the monitoring of the excavations, conducted by the
German Archaeological Institute, is considered adequate.

The political situation, the geostrategic environment, the personal ambitions, the personality of the participants, the unbalanced distribution of power, interventions by third parties are factors, which decisively influence the development, progress and implementation of any team project.
The excavation of Olympia was a typical case where Greek and German scholars/ archaeologists had to work together as well as to adapt to the aforementioned framework, achieving to carry out an excavation of high scientific significance and symbolism, which exceeded both the limits of the Greek State and the scientists themselves.
The main goal of this paper is to present, through the study of the archival documents and relevant press releases-references, the Hellenic aspect – point of view on the initial excavations at Olympia, conducted by the German Empire in the late 19th cent.

examined issues. Since the 16th c. BC amber items, due to the special properties of this unusual
resin, belonged to the group of objects of significant value. The presence of amber artifacts,
mostly beads, in early Mycenaean tombs of an elite class is indicative. The Peloponnese, both the
southwestern and northeastern, was the area with the greatest number of amber finds during the
early Mycenaean era. As they were discovered in milieu rich in metal objects, such as in the tholos
tombs in Messenia and south Elis as well as in the shaft graves at Mycenae, it is highly probable
that the import of amber objects was connected with the search for metals, mainly tin and gold. The
substantial amount of amber finds in western Peloponnese points to the arrival of amber from W
and NW, through sea and land routes, though di!cult to trace. Albeit such long distance voyages
seem ambiguous, the evidence in western Greece indicates that since the Early Bronze Age journeys
as far as Malta were possible. It is beyond any doubt that an extensive trade network in which many
western Greek, mainly Peloponnesian, settlements were involved began from the end of the Middle
Bronze Age until the end of the prehistoric times.
