The archaeological sites on the Monastiriako Kephali hill analysed in this volume include the earliest known mortuary activity at the key Minoan centre of Knossos on the island of Crete. Two Bronze Age sites are presented, known as the 'Tomb' and the 'Deposit', originally excavated in the 1930s but until now never published in detail. The 'Tomb' represents the earliest known funerary site at Bronze Age Knossos, established in the late Prepalatial period and continuing in use until the Neopalatial. The function of the nearby 'Deposit' site is more ambiguous, but a mortuary interpretation is also possible for the phases contemporary with the 'Tomb', and is almost certain for the subsequent Late Minoan II-III era. This volume presents the excavated material held principally in the Stratigraphical Museum at Knossos. The stone artefacts, human remains, faunal remains, glyptic material and ceramics are described and discussed by Don Evely, Rebecca Gowland, Valasia Isaakidou, Olga Krzyszkowska and Laura Preston respectively, and the sites are placed within the broader framework of Minoan mortuary practices at Knossos during the second millennium BC.

Laura Preston, founder of the textile studio and quilting shop Vacilando Quilting Co., has created the ultimate resource for modern quilters. Her minimalist quilting method uses geometric shapes and bold, solid colours to simplify traditional quilting techniques, for stunning, contemporary quilts in less time. With large fabric shapes, quilt tops come together quickly, making these projects perfect for beginners. Advanced quilters will find this a valuable source book for modern techniques such as creating curved lines and working with negative space. Every quilter can find something to fit their schedule and skill level, with projects like quilted throws, pillows, table runners, decorative wall art and blankets of all sizes, from baby to adult. Laura's friendly instructions take readers step-by-step through each pattern, with comprehensive visual guidelines and helpful tips. Readers will learn the foundations of quilting, including techniques for cutting, piecing, assembly, machine sewing and finishing. A contemporary colour palette and clean lines inspired by the American west make these designs both fresh and timeless. Faster to finish than traditional quilts, with plenty of room for personalisation, these patterns make heirloom-quality gifts for friends and family, and add the perfect modern touch to any room. This book will have 20 patterns with a photo for each, plus step-by-step images.

The first in a new series from the University of Cambridge Museum of Classical Archaeology, the publication of the papers presented in this volume marks an important step in the study of ancient cities. Despite having long been a focus of archaeological investigation and analysis, until relatively recently they have tended to be described rather than analysed. These eleven papers concentrate on analysing ancient urban centres from within, exploring some of the ways in which people lived in, perceived and modified their built environments. The papers span several time periods, from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic era as well as geographic locations from Italy to Beirut. The title of this volume thus incorporates two meanings of 'Greek': the territory of the modern nation-state and areas of the ancient world with cultural influences from the Aegean. The diversity of ancient urban forms is therefore fully recognised and celebrated.
