These two chapters in the Cambridge Companion to the Aegean Bronze Age, edited by Cynthia Shelmerdine, summarize the archaeology, art, and society of Crete in the Neopalatial period (ca. 1700-1400 BCE).

Een vroeg-Romeins ruitergraf uit Zuidoost-Drenthe

REA Auditado

This article discusses a find assemblage that has been in the Drents Museum’s collection since
December 1933. The finder, Arent Middelveld, had earlier that year offered the assemblage to the Rijksmuseum
van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities) in Leiden, but that museum was not interested in it on account of
its fragmentary state. Middelveld was a real treasure-hunter who was only interested in how much his finds would
fetch him. There is however no reason whatsoever to doubt the reliability of the find’s source, which is reported to
have been ‘Barger-Oosterveld’.

Terug naar Fluitenberg – over een maliënkolder uit de ijzertijd

REA Auditado

In 1941 the remains of a chain mail were discovered in a cinerary barrow that once formed part of a
group of around twenty barrows near Fluitenberg (municipality of Hoogeveen). It was not realized at the time that
the remains represented such a remarkable object. When the find was published, in 1992, it was assumed to date
from the Roman period.

Bronze Age metal and amber in the Netherlands (III:2) Catalogue of the socketed axes, part B

REA Auditado

This, Part III:2B of the publication of Bronze Age metal and amber in the Netherlands, is the second
part of a catalogue and evaluation of the bronze socketed axes in the Netherlands. We classify, list and map the
socketed axes with imitation wings (without face arches); those with face arches (without imitation wings); those
with imitation wings and face arches; those of Form Wesseling; and some others. Attention is given to questions of
importation and regional production, to the existence of an ‘Ems-Weser’ or ‘Hunze-Ems’ axe-producing industry.

Protohistoric to Roman settlement on the Lepine margins near Ninfa (south Lazio, Italy)

REA Auditado

The Groningen Institute of Archaeology has conducted field walking surveys in the northern part of
the Pontine plain, on the southwestern margins of the Lepine mountains, since 1987. The results of these surveys
have only partially been published in accessible journals, and in a number of different formats. Archaeological
knowledge and methodology has advanced during that period, and therefore the older studies must be reassessed as
well.

Wood of the West House, Akrotiri, Santorini (Greece)

REA Auditado

Samples of charred wood, collected during the excavation of the West House in Akrotiri, Santorini,
were analysed and identified. Olive (Olea europaea) dominated the samples, especially inside the West House,
suggesting regular pruning of olive trees and use of the branches as firewood. The findings included sweet chestnut
(Castanea sativa), almond (Prunus dulcis), alder (Alnus sp.), pear (Pyrus amygdaliformis), terebinth or mastic tree
(Pistacia sp.), juniper (Juniperus sp.), pine (Pinus sp.) and tamarisk (Tamarix sp.). Castanea and Alnus were not
known before from Bronze Age Santorini.

Sites of the Fogliano survey (Pontine region, Central Italy), site classification and a comment on the diagnostic artefacts from prehistory to the Roman period

REA Auditado

This paper describes the methodology and results of a detailed study of the field data and artefact
samples collected in the Fogliano surveys, dealing with both the lithic and the ceramic periods. The backbone of
this study is formed by a site catalogue and an accompanying lithic and sherd catalogue describing all diagnostic
materials collected in the survey. The study has resulted in a more precise diachronic perspective on the general
developments described in the previous reports.

The pollen signal of early neolithic farming along a habitation gradient in northern Drenthe

REA Auditado

ABSTRACT: It is concluded from the uneven distribution of megalith graves (hunebedden) and the presence or
absence of surface (settlement) finds in northern Drenthe that the inhabitants of the Funnel Beaker culture were not
evenly distributed over the area. Habitation seems to concentrate on the highest part of the Hondsrug and less on the
lands to the west.

The destroyed hunebed O2 and the adjacent TRB flat cemetery at Mander (Gem. Tubbergen, province Overijssel)

REA Auditado

In 1957 Dr C.C.W.J. Hijszeler excavated the remains of the destroyed megalithic tomb O2 near Mander.
Apart from a few short notes the results have not been published. In 1995 the provincial archaeologist, A.D. Verlinde,
re-excavated the site, in order to locate the destroyed tomb precisely prior to the construction of an oblong earthen
mound on the site, and to establish the quality of any remaining evidence.

An outline of Late Swifterbant pottery in the Noordoostpolder (province of Flevoland, the Netherlands) and the chronological development of the pottery of the Swifterbant culture

REA Auditado

The centuries after the levee occupation at Swifterbant (4300–4000 BC) and before the start of the
TRB West group in the Netherlands around 3400/3300 BC are relatively sparse in terms of archaeological remains.
This article presents the available ceramic evidence from the major assemblages. On the basis of this Late
Swifterbant material schemes are presented on the chronological development and regional variation of the pottery
of the Swifterbant culture.
