Die mykenische Kultur Griechenlands (ca. 1700–Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.) hat ein herausragendes materielles Erbe in Form von Gebäuden und Artefakten hinterlassen. Lange konzentrierte sich ihre Erforschung auf Paläste und Grabmonumente. In den letzten Jahren hat sich dies jedoch erheblich geändert, was ein besseres Verständnis der Entstehung der mykenischen Kultur im 17. bis 15. Jahrhundert v. Chr. ermöglicht. Die Beiträge in diesem Band liefern neue Informationen, entweder Erkenntnisse aus neueren Feldforschungen, oder solche, die auf der neuerlichen Analyse zentraler Fundgruppen basieren bzw. umfassende vergleichende Studien darstellen, die durch die Untersuchung von Siedlungen und Gräbern neue Perspektiven auf die Entstehung einer neuen Gesellschaftsordnung eröffnen. …
The Mycenaean culture of Greece (ca. 1700–mid-11th century BC) has left an outstanding material legacy in terms of buildings and artefacts. For a long time, its exploration has focused on palaces and funerary monuments. However, in recent years the state of research has changed significantly, opening up new perspectives for a broader understanding of the emergence of Mycenaean culture in the 17th to 15th centuries B.C. The contributions in this volume provide new information, either insights from recent fieldwork, the fresh analysis of key assemblages, or more comprehensive comparative studies that, by examining settlements and tombs alike, open up new perspectives on the emergence of a new social order.

(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece, pp. 517-536, 2021/05/26
International Discussions in Mycenaean Archaeology
October 5–8, 2016, Athens
The present paper summarises research and excavation work regarding the late Middle Bronze Age andearly Late Bronze Age development of the prehistoric settlement at Kolonna on Aigina. The starting point is the studiesundertaken between 2002 and 2011 in the area of the large building complex of advanced Middle Bronze Age date.There the gradual development of Aiginetan pottery production and the sudden appearance of a clear period of ‘Minoanisation’,manifested in the monumental building, Minoan imports, and the local production of Minoanising potteryin the advanced Middle Bronze Age, could be demonstrated by stratigraphic observations. At the beginning of the LateBronze Age a new trend in terms of pottery production and consumption is traceable, characterised by the appearanceof Aiginetan and Mainland Bichrome-Painted pottery and other classes of pottery, including very small amounts ofMycenaean pattern-painted pottery. This process of the ceramic ‘Mycenaeanisation’ is completed with the adoption ofMycenaean forming techniques in LH IIIA and seems enduring.
