Beneath the famous remains of the House of the Tiles and the other
Bronze Age remains found at Lerna, a large amount of Neolithic
pottery was found during 1950s excavations by the American School
of Classical Studies. Although the mixing of material makes it
impossible to establish an independent ceramic sequence for the
site, the author is able to differentiate Early and Middle
Neolithic types using her knowledge of material from the
well-stratified Franchthi Cave, across the Argolic Gulf. By placing
the ceramic material in archaeological context, the author makes a
number of important new claims about Lerna's earliest history.
While the date of the first settlement is still unclear, the Middle
Neolithic was clearly a time of intensive occupation at Lerna, when
the digging of at least one long ditch across the site suggests
some internal planning. Sherds of the first Late Neolithic phase
are totally absent, suggesting that Lerna had been abandoned by the
end of Middle Neolithic but substantial quantities of Final
Neolithic pottery, found largely in pits and two graves, suggest
ritual reuse in this period. A final chapter (in both English and
Modern Greek) summarizes the results of the study, including the
changing patterns of burial practices over the course of the
Neolithic. (A CD-ROM with 86 color images of the pottery is
included.) This volume is also available to download in .ePub
format. This digital format allows reading on your mobile device
(such as an iPhone or a Sony Reader) or on your computer (using a
reader such as Adobe Digital Editions). Click on the following link
