Therasia II. Historicizing Prehistory: The historical and epistemological context of the archaeological discovery on Therasia in 1866.
A series of studies on the historical and epistemological context of the archaeological discovery on Therasia in 1866,
the first in the Aegean, at the time of the volcanic eruption. The unprecedented phenomena, both archaeological and geological,
inspired geologists and archaeologists to collaborate on the development of new, mainly evolutionary theories on the pre-hellenic past.

Vrysinas II - The Pottery of the 1972-1973 excavation
This volume is the second in the series of published archaeological material from the Vrysinas Peak Sanctuary,
covering the pottery from the 1972-73 excavation. Apart from the basic presentation of the pottery via illustrations,
photographs and descriptions, and of its chronological and typological context, the main themes developed are the
analysis of human activity at the site as evidenced by the pottery (e.g. large-scale communal meals), the offerings
of material and immaterial goods (the ritual), and the visitors' origins. |

Contributors include Professors Christos Doumas on the architectural model in the Bronze Age, Theodosis Tassios on the design and construction
of ancient Greek public works, Nanno Marinatos on Minoan cult sanctuaries, and John Papadopoulos on Mnesikles and the Propylaia of the Acropolis
and the contemporary vicissitudes of the monument. There are, of course, several papers on Akrotiri Thera, where Clairy Palyvou's contribution
has been definitive and multifaceted. The studies by Anastasia Devetzi, Angelia Papagiannopoulou and Ioannis Bitis shed light on aspects
of the settlement and its society, while Natasha Angelopoulou focuses on other parts of the Cyclades, particularly Early Cycladic Naxos.
There are also two important social anthropology studies by Alexandra Bakalaki and Dimitra Douskos.Special mention must be made of the contributions
by the students of the School of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, who took part in the Therasia research project designed
and implemented by Clairy Palyvou and Iris Tzachili (Daniel, Ritzouli, Athanasiou, Patrika, Nasi, Molida, Gouliopoulou, Tourtas, Zaharatos).
This is a generation of students who spent almost three years on Therasia, enthusiastically familiarising themselves with the human landscape
and learning about the island on the spot, body and soul. It is this unique experience of direct knowledge and life that they have attempted to
show in their papers, and perhaps it shines through between the lines.
