Prehistoric Textile Production in the Context of Western Anatolia, the Aegean and Bulgaria

Based on the research at Çukuriçi Höyük, a prehistoric tell settlement on the western Anatolian Aegean coast, this volume focuses on the analysis of textile production technologies. Due to its chronological depth, its geographic location and the excavations carried out using state-of-the-art methods, this site constitutes an ideal base for the diachronic investigation of prehistoric textile technologies in Anatolia, the Aegean and neighbouring regions. Chronologically the studies range from the...

Searching for Gold

Resources and Networks in the Bronze Age of the Eastern Balkans

This volume focusses on Bronze Age mining in the Balkan regions, presented in the regional and inter-regional context. The archaeological excavations on the Ada Tepe located in the Bulgarian Rhodopes are the point of departure, because not only did they bring to light one of the earliest known gold mines of Europe, but they also uncovered the mining areas, the work places and the adjacent settlement areas almost in their entirety – a singular case regarding gold mining sites of Bronze Age date....

Archäologie und Republik

Reflexionen zur Archäologie in Österreich in der Ersten und Zweiten Republik

Political, social and cultural conditions and changes also have an impact on the sciences and humanities. In the field of archaeology, little attention has been paid to these issues so far. Only recently has there been an increased focus on them, as well as on the study of the history of archaeology, with attention often focussing on the inter-war period and the Second World War. In contrast, the conference „Archäologie und Republik. Reflexionen zur Archäologie in Österreich in der Ersten und...

Votive Deposits in Early Dynastic Temples

Proceedings of the Workshop held at the 10th ICAANE in Vienna, April 2016

Along with this decisive evolution, for the first time human settlements clearly witnessed the existence of hierarchical political and religious systems as parts of an interregional network. While we can find many examples of...
