This archaeological collection comprises two complete vessels and 279 sherds of Minoan and Mycenaean pottery, that means from the time between 1575 and 1000 BC. This sherd material is exceptional in that it covers every Mycenaean and Late Minoan pottery phase and derives from Mycenae, Tiryns, Asine, Aegeira, Argos (Greek mainland) and Knossos (Crete). This study of P. A. Mountjoy, an expert for Mycenaean Pottery, provides the reader with an extremely useful overview of shapes and motifs of the pottery of this time. An effort has been made to clarify the process of assignation of each sherd to date, shape and motif in an attempt to assist scholars and students working on similar museum and university collections.

Vor dem Hintergrund der zeit- und forschungsgeschichtlichen Sonderstellung der Region Chalkidikis wird die Siedlungsgeschichte rekonstruiert. Berücksichtigt werden archäologische Funde und Befunde, Geländebeobachtungen und die Überlieferung in den antiken Schriftquellen für die Zeitspanne vom Protogeometrischen bis zur Einrichtung der römischen Provinz Macedonia (ca. 1000 bis 148 v. Chr.).

In this study the author assembles the Roman amphora of the area around the German city of Mainz. All pieces are documented with fotos and descriptions. Analyses of Mediterranian imports, local production, and nourishment habits show that many previous approaches have to be revised and allow new interpretation of Roman amphora.
