ABSTRACT: Synchronizing cultural changes between Aegean regions at the transition to the Late Bronze Age has proven difficult. Ayia Irini on Kea is a key site for addressing chronological questions, owing to its stratified deposits and common pottery imports and imitations. Previous studies have suggested that ceramics from the first part of the Late Bronze Age (period VI) can be divided into an early and late phase, but the defining features of the earlier phase have not been discussed in detail. This article characterizes the ceramics of the early phase of period VI and provides a new review of synchronisms.

ABSTRACT: This article provides a new edition of the Panathenaic victor list IG II2 2313, the first to be made based on autopsy of the stone as well as photographs and squeezes of it, and suggests a date for it in the years just prior to the Second Macedonian War. Such examination places this important text in the context of the games and demonstrates that it forms part of a connected series of Panathenaic victor lists of the late 3rd and first half of the 2nd centuries b.c. This stone preserves portions of three lists, which have fewer events and a markedly different organization from later lists. These early lists thus reflect a period of transition in the reestablishment of the games after the recovery of independence in 229 b.c.

ABSTRACT: This article presents a new attempt to estimate the size of the army and the population of Boiotia in the Hellenistic period. The calculation is based on an important type of epigraphic evidence in the region: conscription lists from the various cities of the Boiotian Confederacy, following a method initiated by Beloch. Confidence intervals are provided to estimate the age class of 20 in each city as well as whole districts where reliable data are available, and the population model is subsequently drawn from the work of contemporary statisticians. We reach a military potential of 11,000–14,500 men aged 20–49. This equates to a citizen population (including women and children) of 59,000–78,000 and to a total population of 75,000–115,000.

ABSTRACT: This article explores the chemical-element composition of a wide range of local domestic wares (late 6th century b.c. to early 4th century a.d.). Using instrumental neutron activation analysis and two statistical approaches, we examine whether function or date explains variations in the chemical groups we found and if they match their archaeological labels. The initial choice of ceramic pastes (cooking fabric or buff ware) relates to function, but within those main categories, vessel function did not affect grouping. Fabrics did vary with time. Such changes do not occur at the same time in the cooking and buff wares, nor do they correlate well with the political history of the city.

The results of a small-scale program of neutron activation analysis of 69 ceramic fragments from the Minoan harbor town of Kommos are presented and critically evaluated. Prior to analysis, the vessels represented in the sample were thought to be imports from outside of Crete, manufactured either on Cyprus or in the Mycenaean cultural sphere. The chemical analyses support the identifications of the vessels as imports from the regions in question in roughly 80% of the cases. They further suggest that the vast majority of these ceramic imports were produced in a comparatively small number of production centers.

In this article, the author reexamines the 14 known horos inscriptions from Aigina in connection with the discovery of four new horoi, published here for the first time. These additional horoi lend new support to the arguments― debated by many scholars―for the date (431-404 B.C.), occasion (Athenian occupation of Aigina during the Peloponnesian War), authorship (Athenian), and purpose (markers of agricultural estates) of the Aiginetan horoi. The article presents a fresh view of Athenian motivations for the introduction of agricultural temene dedicated to the gods on Aigina and in other conquered territories during the Athenian Empire.

An oath on a 4th-century B.C. stele from Acharnai has previously been identified as the Oath ofPlataia, the oath taken by the Greeks before they fought the Persians at Plataia in 479. In this article the author identifies it as the Oath of Marathon, rather than as the Oath of Plataia, and suggests that Lykourgos's reference (1.80) to "the oath that was traditional among you [Athenians]" is to this Oath of Marathon.
