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. |

Therasia II, Historicizing Prehistory
The historical and epistemological context of the archaeological discovery on Therasia in 1866.
Edited by: Dimitra Douskos, Alexandre Farnoux and Iris Tzachili
In January 1866, an important event shook the lives of the inhabitants of Santorini as well as of the entire
South Aegean and Crete all while attracting considerable scientific and political interest. In the large
enclosed gulf between Thera and Therasia, a series of eruptions, the emergence of new islands and the
submersion of others, heralded the volcanic phenomena that were to last until October 1870.
It was in this context that a prehistoric building was unexpectedly discovered on Therasia in the course
of mining works carried out to support the opening of the Suez Canal. The dwelling was the first of its kind
in Greece, well ahead of Troy, Knossos and Mycenae.

Thirassia I, a diachronic journey
edited by Clairy Palyvou and Iris Tzachili
The volume Thirassia I, A Diachronic Journey, is the first
contribution to the history of the island of
Thirassia, from the distant past (Bronze Age)
to recent times (architecture, social
anthropology). The work is a series of studies
focusing on different research aspects
(geology, mining technology, pottery fabric
analysis, etc.) and on the search for ancient
testimonies through surface surveys. It is, in
effect, a mapping of human presence on the
island down the ages, highlighting choices,
limitations, changes, continuities and
discontinuities, and investigating in a variety
of ways the phenomenon of insularity.

Milena from Pragua
Margarete Buber-Neumann
Milena from Prague (original title: Milena,
Kafkas Freundin, 1963) is an outstanding
example of concentration camp literature and
the first biography of Milena Jesenska, known
to us from Franz Kafka's Letters to Milena.
Buber-Neumann's narrative focuses on the chronicle
of her friendship with Milena, which arose in the harsh
daily life of the Nazi Ravensbruck concentration camp.
The work accomplishes a double aim: as a concentration camp
testimony, it provides a first-hand account of the rapid
deterioration of living conditions at the camp, culminating
in the transformation of Ravensbruck from a labour camp to
an extermination camp.

Textiles
and Dress in Grece and the Roman East: A
Technological and Social Approach.
Edited by Iris Tzachili and Eleni Zimi
Dress,
textiles and their production process are
a difficult scientific venture to embark
upon, due to the complexity of the subject.
They present many different aspects and
touch on a wide variety of social sectors,
such as the economy, technique, raw materials,
commerce, fashion and symbolisms of all
kinds. This is even more the case when the
period covered is the Roman era in Greece,
a multifarious and little-studied time influenced
both by the weight of Classical tradition
and by the new mores and customs spreading
throughout the empire.

Vrysinas
I - Minoan Artistic Landscapes. The vases
with applied plastic figures from the Vrysinas
Peak Sanctuary and the quest for depth.
by Iris Tzachili
The
starting-point of this study is a series
of vases from the Vrysinas Peak Sanctuary
with applied plastic decoration representing
landscapes, currently presented as unique
to this site. There is also reference to
the clay figurines with depictions of rocks,
trees and animals from the same site. The
finds, the methods of artistic representation
and other similar Minoan finds are analysed,
before moving on to other categories of
Minoan artwork with representations of landscapes.
There is extensive discussion of the concept
of perspective, the quest for depth and
the form this quest assumes in Minoan contexts.

Aegean
Metallurgy in the Bronze Age
Edited by Iris Tzachili
The
jigsaw puzzle of the metallurgy and metalworking
of the Aegean is slowly being completed.
It is being filled in by new finds, new
methods, and analyses that point to new
possibilities. The pieces of the puzzle
are still difficult to assemble: our knowledge
is frequently fragmented, both geographically
and chronologically. Nevertheless it is
now possible to arrive at a minimum series
of technical events in a chronological and
geographical sequence, not just a sequence
of abstract technological development, following
a continuous and linear concept. The effort
is rather directed to plotting the evidence
in chronological, technical and geographical
correspondence, albeit with a number of
gaps, regressions and delays.
