Located on the shore of the Gulf of Argos, Lerna is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Greece, having been occupied with few interruptions over a period of some 5,000 years, from the 6th to the 1st millennium B.C. Following excavations under the direction of Professor J. Caskey from 1952 to 1958, the well-preserved, deeply stratified record resulted in Lerna becoming the undisputed "typesite" and master sequence for the Early and Middle Bronze Ages on the southern Greek mainland. However, the Middle Bronze Age settlement and material have never been comprehensively published. This volume presents a catalogue of the Middle Helladic ceramic material and an analysis of the material in terms of shape, decoration, and fabric with the objective of elucidating the changing patterns of ceramic production and consumption at a key mainland site.
Explains local and regional developments in Laconia (Greece) during the Middle Helladic and Late Helladic period.

The results of the many years of excavations on the Aegina-Kolonna, which have revealed the significance of this area for the entire Aegean region during the Middle Bronze Age, was the occasion for an international workshop to be convened entitled "Middle Helladic Pottery and Synchronisms". Since the pioneering work of Carl W. Blegen, Alan J. B. Wace and others, a general consensus has developed concerning the Middle Helladic ceramic sequencing and its sub-phases. It is nevertheless still difficult to link the individual stylistic development phases from the different parts of the Greek mainland, as well as to determine their relationship to regions further away, as for example the Aegean Islands. This problematic was decisive for inviting a group of scholars doing research on Middle Helladic ceramics and other related ceramics found in stratified contexts to discuss related topics. These topics include: Aegean ceramic of the Middle Helladic; Middle Helladic ceramics from other Aegean regions; the transition from Early Helladic to Middle Helladic; The transition from Middle Helladic to Late Helladic; Origin, first appearance and distribution of specific ceramic groups; Uses of different terminology for similar or identical characteristics; The synchronisation between the mainland, the Cyclades and Crete.
A Companion that examines together two pivotal periods of Greek archaeology and offers a rich analysis of early Greek culture A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers an original and inclusive review of two key periods of Greek archaeology, which are typically treated separately—the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. It presents an in-depth exploration of the society and material culture of Greece and the Mediterranean, from the 14th to the early 7th centuries BC. The two-volume companion sets Aegean developments within their broader geographic and cultural context, and presents the wide-ranging interactions with the Mediterranean. The companion bridges the gap that typically exists between Prehistoric and Classical Archaeology and examines material culture and social practice across Greece and the Mediterranean. A number of specialists examine the environment and demography, and analyze a range of textual and archaeological evidence to shed light on socio-political and cultural developments. The companion also emphasizes regionalism in the archaeology of early Greece and examines the responses of different regions to major phenomena such as state formation, literacy, migration and colonization. Comprehensive in scope, this important companion: Outlines major developments in the two key phases of early Greece, the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age Includes studies of the geography, chronology and demography of early Greece Explores the development of early Greek state and society and examines economy, religion, art and material culture Sets Aegean developments within their Mediterranean context Written for students, and scholars interested in the material culture of the era, ACompanion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide that bridges the gap between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. 2020 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Winner!
Drawing on many parallels from Philistia through the Levant, Anatolia, the Aegean Sea, and beyond, this research begins to fill a longstanding lacuna in the Amuq Valley and attempts to correlate with historical and cultural trends in the Northern Levant and beyond.

This book argues that religious beliefs played a significant role in the social changes that occurred in Middle Helladic Greece.
The third publication resulting from the Argolid Exploration Project, this volume records the Prehistoric and Early Iron Age pottery and the lithic artefacts found at over 328 archaeological sites. The analysis of so many artefacts from such a wide area has enabled the identification of local production and stylistic features of the pottery, thus charting the patterns of trade and exchange within the region and with other regions. A chronological sequence has also been established for both the ceramic and lithic finds. The book discusses the dominant aspects of each period and catalogues the material.
