The Ephorate of Palaeoanthropology and Spelaeology (EPS) is the state-run body responsible for the range of issues revolving around the legal protection, management, development and interdisciplinary study of caves in Greece (http://www.culture.gr/el/ministry/SitePages/viewyphresia.aspx?iID=1784). It is housed in the Ministry of Culture and Sports and is the sole institution taking an integrated overview of the issues surrounding caves in Greece. Its position within the cultural-heritage domain derives from caves being fully ascribed the status of ancient monuments and thus subject to the protective provisions of the archaeological law (3028/2002), alongside and independent of their status and need for protection as sustainable natural landforms. Once caves were recognized as sites requiring specialized archaeological research with distinct administrative requirements, the Ephorate of Speleology was established as a special office within the Ministry of Culture in 1976; it was comparable in status, at a later stage, to the local ephorates of antiquities, but as an entity constituted at the national rather than the district level. Its supra-regional scope was reformulated by legislation in 2014 reuniting into one institution the two components (northern and southern Greece) into which it had been separated a decade previously.

The relevance in the 21st century of an organization founded in the later 19th century lies in the BSA's statutory objective: ‘to promote the study of Greece in all its aspects … in all periods including modern times’. In modern business jargon, the BSA's ‘unique selling proposition’ is its location, which places UK-based researchers (at all career stages) at the heart of a region not only central to the history of the Western tradition, but also pivotal historically to post-Ottoman southern Europe and currently on the front line of the refugee crisis. Its location also offers local researchers and organizations opportunities to establish collaborations with us and – through us – with UK-based researchers. Our 130-year history brings a strong reputation, an unparalleled regional network, an accumulation of library and material resources, and a body of expertise that benefit both UK-based researchers and those who engage with us as research partners.

It has been ten years since the publication of Lorenzo Lazzarini's monumental volume on the quarrying, use and properties of the coloured marbles of Greece: Poikiloi Lithoi, Versiculores Maculae: I Marmi Colorati della Grecia Antica (Lazzarini 2007). The first study since Angelina Dworakowska's Quarries in Ancient Greece (Dworakowska 1975) to attempt a large-scale examination of quarrying across Greece, Lazzarini's approach is fundamentally an archaeometric one. Analysis of the evidence for quarrying in different regions is set alongside minero-petrographic and geochemical analyses of the materials extracted. Lazzarini focuses on 12 lithotypes: marmor lacedaemonium from Laconia, variously referred to as serpentino and porfido verde antico; three stone types from the Mani peninsula: rosso antico tenario, nero antico tenario and cipollino tenario; from Chios, the famous marmor chium or portasanta, breccia di Aleppo and nero antico chiota; the breccia di settebasi and semesanto of Skyros; the intensively exploited marmor carystium or cipollino verde, as well as the marmor chalcidicum or fior di pesco from Euboea; and from central and northern Greece, marmor thessalicum or verde antico and the breccia policroma della Vittoria. For each of these lithotypes, Lazzarini considers the evidence for their use and distribution, illustrated with a distribution map in each case, and provides a thorough overview of what is known about their quarries. Archaeological and geological approaches are here combined, and this is a hallmark of much recent work on the question of quarrying and stone use through Greek history.
洛伦佐·拉扎里尼(Lorenzo Lazzarini)关于希腊彩色大理石的采石、使用和特性的巨著《poikili Lithoi, Versiculores Maculae: I Marmi Colorati della Grecia Antica》(拉扎里尼2007)出版至今已有十年。这是自Angelina Dworakowska的《古希腊采石场》(Dworakowska 1975)以来，第一次尝试对希腊各地的采石场进行大规模考察的研究，拉扎里尼的方法基本上是一种考古方法。对不同地区的采石证据进行分析，同时对所提取的材料进行矿物岩石学和地球化学分析。Lazzarini专注于12种石版:来自拉科尼亚的marmor lacedaemonium，也被称为serpentino和porfido verde antico;来自马尼半岛的三种石头类型:rosso antico tenario, nero antico tenario和cipollino tenario;来自希俄斯，著名的马莫尔·希乌姆或波塔桑塔，阿勒颇角砾岩和尼罗·安古·希奥塔;角砾岩是斯凯洛斯的基底和半山腰;集中开发的carystium或cipollino verde，以及来自欧洲的marmor chalcidicum或fior di pesco;在希腊中部和北部，有青玉和角砾岩(policroma della Vittoria)。对于每一种岩石类型，拉扎里尼都考虑了它们使用和分布的证据，并在每种情况下用分布图进行了说明，并提供了关于它们采石场的已知情况的全面概述。这里结合了考古学和地质学的方法，这是最近关于希腊历史上的采石和石头使用问题的许多工作的一个标志。

On 16 June 1936 the young American epigraphist Charles Edson signed an agreement with the Berlin Academy of Sciences for the publication of all Greek inscriptions from Macedonia (Fig. 146) in the prestigious Inscriptiones Graecae series (see the text in Nigdelis 2015b: 10–12), estimating that the whole project could be completed within four years. His estimate proved, as so often in epigraphy, too optimistic. By 2016, only two volumes of inscriptions from ancient Macedonia had appeared in IG: the one Edson managed to complete in 1972 containing the inscriptions of Thessalonike (IG X 2.1) and the 1999 volume covering most of the northwestern border areas prepared by Fanoula Papazoglou and her collaborators (IG X 2.2.1). A further volume, of new material published after or not included in Edson's corpus, has just been published (IG X 2.1, Suppl. 1; most inscriptions have already been published and commented upon in Nigdelis 2006a and 2015a) and another is planned: a supplement to Edson's volume and full photographic documentation (due for publication in 2018).
1936年6月16日，年轻的美国金石学家Charles Edson与柏林科学院签署了一项协议，将马其顿的所有希腊铭文（图146）出版在著名的铭文Graecae系列中（见Nigdelis 2015b:10-12），估计整个项目可以在四年内完成。正如金石学中经常出现的那样，他的估计被证明过于乐观。到2016年，只有两卷来自古马其顿的铭文出现在IG中：埃德森于1972年完成的一卷包含塞萨洛尼基的铭文（IG X 2.1），以及法诺拉·帕帕佐格鲁及其合作者编写的1999年涵盖西北边境大部分地区的一卷（IG X 2.2.1），刚刚出版（IG X 2.1，Suppl.1；大多数铭文已经在Nigdelis 2006a和2015a中发表和评论），另一个正在计划中：Edson卷的补充和完整的摄影文件（定于2018年出版）。

The development of human osteoarchaeology in Greece has been the subject of a number of papers (for example Agelarakis 1995; Roberts et al. 2005; Buikstra and Lagia 2009; Lagia et al. 2014). The volume New Directions in the Skeletal Biology of Greece (Schepartz et al. 2009) constituted a milestone in the field by bringing together the work of multiple scholars, employing a diverse thematic focus and stressing the value of the potential of human osteoarchaeology in exploring the past. Recent years have witnessed significant developments in the field across Greece with respect to the research themes explored and the methodological approaches adopted, as well as important institutional changes. These developments are reflected in this review, which focuses on the progress of human osteoarchaeological studies in Greece in the 21st century, the research questions they address, the challenges they face and their envisaged future.
希腊人类骨考古学的发展一直是许多论文的主题(例如，Agelarakis 1995;Roberts et al. 2005;Buikstra和Lagia 2009;Lagia et al. 2014)。《希腊骨骼生物学新方向》(Schepartz etal . 2009)汇集了多位学者的工作，采用了不同的主题重点，并强调了人类骨考古学在探索过去方面的潜力价值，从而构成了该领域的里程碑。近年来，在研究主题和采用的方法方法以及重要的制度变化方面，希腊各地的研究领域取得了重大进展。这些发展反映在本综述中，重点介绍了21世纪希腊人类骨考古研究的进展，他们解决的研究问题，他们面临的挑战和他们的未来设想。

The Sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia in Amarynthos was the most renowned shrine of the Eretrian polis, and its annual festival, the Artemisia, drew large crowds from Euboea and beyond. Yet, despite its regional fame and prominence, its remains have eluded archaeological identification. As a result, the location of the Artemision has been a vexed question in Euboean studies for over a century. Between 2003 and 2007, however, a new impetus was given to its localization. In collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea, the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece (ESAG) carried out a large-scale geophysical survey in the area of Amarynthos, some 11km east of Eretria, at the foot of a hill locally known as Paleoekklisies (or Paleochora). The ensuing trial trenches were followed by systematic excavation that eventually led to the discovery of substantial buildings. We suggest that these buildings are part of a monumental complex that should be identified as the Sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia (see afterword).
Amarynthos的Artemis Amarysia保护区是埃雷特里亚城邦最著名的圣地，其一年一度的Artemisia节日吸引了来自Euboea和其他地方的大批人群。然而，尽管它在当地享有盛名和显赫地位，但它的遗迹却未能得到考古鉴定。因此，一个多世纪以来，蒿属植物的位置一直是Euboean研究中的一个棘手问题。然而，在2003年至2007年期间，它的本地化得到了新的推动。希腊瑞士考古学院（ESAG）与欧博亚文物局（Ephorate of Antiques of Euboea）合作，在埃雷特里亚以东约11公里的Amarynthos地区进行了一次大规模的地球物理调查，该地区位于当地被称为Paleoeklisies（或Paleochora）的山脚下。随后的试沟之后进行了系统的挖掘，最终发现了大量建筑。我们认为这些建筑是一个纪念性建筑群的一部分，该建筑群应被确定为阿尔忒弥斯阿玛里西亚保护区（见后记）。

Over the past year, Greek archaeology has seen a remarkable number of new publications, both fieldwork data reports (ADelt vols 65–68 for 2010–2013 in ten fascicules, AEMTh 25 and AEThSE 4, among others) and conference proceedings, exhibition catalogues, monographs and Festschriften that include much new and unpublished material. Regular updates continue to appear in AGOnline, but it has been impossible to process all this material in the space of a few months for publication in this year's Archaeology in Greece. Some of the new exciting discoveries are, however, presented in the ‘Newsround’ section, and we hope to provide further updates in next year's AG.

The Early Helladic period on the Greek mainland is a time of complexity and innovation, characterized by a marked regionalism in settlement patterns and material culture, and the presence of myriad crossscale networks within which objects, technologies, ideas and individuals circulated. Nevertheless, much about the period remains unclear beyond the relative comfort of its long ‘middle’ phase, Early Helladic II (ca. 2950–2250 BC). Its emergence from the socio-cultural processes of the Final Neolithic, particularly, continues to be obscured by a ‘fourth-millennium gap’ which has proved frustratingly intransigent. Of those few Peloponnesian sites yielding radiocarbon dates which potentially fall within the fourth millennium, those of Franchthi (FCP 5.2, P-1659, ca. 4,230–3,790 cal. BC; see Vitelli 1999: table 9), Kouveleiki Caves A and B (ID1492; Kontaxi 2006) and Alepotrypa (Bronk-Ramsey et al. 2015: 200) fall well short of its mid-point. Halieis alone potentially bucks the trend (ca. 3,909–3,367 cal. BC; Pullen 2000: 184–86; see also Alram-Stern 2007), although the range on this sample is so great as to be problematic.
