This paper offers an account of the archaeological textiles excavated in Greece, consideration of the challenges one has to deal with when studying such materials and a discussion of ways to overcome them. A complete list of archaeological textiles excavated in Greece is not within the scope of this paper, since such comprehensive studies have been published previously (Spantidaki and Moulhérat 2012; Moulhérat and Spantidaki 2016) and, of course, the corpus of such textiles is continuously expanding. The study of textiles is an emerging and fast-growing field of Greek archaeology (Gleba 2011). The number of archaeologists and conservators working with and studying archaeological textiles is steadily increasing, thus raising the general awareness of textiles and expanding the corpus of known ancient fabrics. In recent years, several research projects have investigated ancient Greek textiles, such as those conducted by the Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen (for example Textile Economies in the Mediterranean Area), several funded by Marie Skłodowska Curie Action grants and some by European Research Council grants (for example Production and Consumption: Textile Economy and Urbanisation in Mediterranean Europe 1000–500 BCE hosted by Cambridge University).

INTRODUCTION This is the fourth report on Albania to appear in AR. Prof. Zhaneta Andrea, who contributed the previous three reports has now retired from the Archaeological Service, but kindly offered her help at various stages in the preparation of this one. This report includes for the first time contributions by excavators themselves, both Albanian and foreign, and also short newspaper references. The geographical divisions used in the report are shown in Fig. 1. Many changes have occurred in the relatively short period since the last Albania report (19911999). A new, privately operated institution, the International Centre for Albanian Archaeology (ICAA) was established in 1999 in Tirane, supported by the Packard Humanities Institute, under the aegis of the Butrint Foundation. The aim of the ICAA is to coordinate, develop and promote the research, excavation and conservation of Albania's outstanding archaeological heritage. It has already taken significant steps towards becoming a major archaeological institution in Albania, developing strong working relationships with the Institute of Archaeology (Academy of Sciences) and the Institute of Monuments (Ministry of Culture). Changes have also occurred in the field of cultural heritage protection. A new cultural heritage law, passed in the Albanian Parliament in 2003, imposes tougher fines and sanctions for illegal exploitation of sites and artefacts, and its application is hoped to better protect the country's archaeological remains. This is a positive development, but further refinements seem necessary for the law to function more efficiently. The Institute of Archaeology has increased cooperation with foreign partners, mainly from Europe and North America, and many collaborative excavations are now under way at sites around the country. These are usually co-directed by an Albanian and a foreign archaeologist, with both project staff members and students generally drawn in equal numbers from each participating partner. There is so far no restriction on the number of projects that can operate simultaneously in a year. Project proposals are normally submitted to the Scientific Council of the Institute of Archaeology for discussion and approval, usually at the start of the calendar year in which the research is planned to begin. Permits are generally given for two years' research, with the possibility of renewal, but the Scientific Council considers each case separately. No limit on the length of fieldwork seasons has been set, but seasons of one month are the norm.

This report summarizes the principal archaeological explorations in the Republic of Cyprus since 1997. The information on excavations has been condensed from reports submitted annually to the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellenique, Reports of the Department of Antiquities Cyprus, and from individual reports and publications forwarded to me by site directors. Abbreviations used in this article appear inside the front and back covers.

Seven years have passed since the last report on Etruria (for AR 1985-1995) by Tom Rasmussen. The present report was occasioned by the 'Etruscans Now' conference at the British Museum, held in December 2002, which drew together specialists, students and other interested parties from across the world to discuss significant events in Etruscology over recent years. All dates are BC unless otherwise noted.

INTRODUCTION General. Although post-Hellenic matters are excluded by definition from the following pages, I feel bound to begin my last Italian contribution to AR by commenting on the clarion call that concludes a survey by E. Curti, E. Dench and J.R. Patterson of recent trends and approaches in the Roman archaeology of Central and S Italy (JRS 86 [1996] 170-89): 'We have been forcibly struck ... by the sheer volume of publication on the archaeology of the regions of Italy and are conscious that this survey only covers a small part of it, both in geographical and in chronological terms, and before long will in part have been made obsolete by new publications. The regular [emphasis in original] publication of a volume of Archaeological Reports on Italy (on the model of those on Greece produced by the Hellenic Society) by an appropriate scholarly body or journal would be of immense value to all those working in the field and beyond.' The first sentence transcribed above can still, six years on, be applied with no change to my own survey of pre-R affairs in the two areas considered here. The second is less easy to transplant. The experience of many years suggests that Romanists who work in Italy know their own business best, but I suspect that for them, as for their colleagues with protohistoric and C interests, the last few years will be remembered above all for a considerable increase an authentic and (let us hope) irreversible sea-change in general access to reliable news and well-informed discussions. For some, increased accessibilty is symbolized by the wealth of relevant and seriously informative websites (of which I have indicated a selection in the pages that follow), and by the detailed and reliable news that is often yielded by the submission of an archaeological toponym to any good search-engine. Others will rejoice in the continuation of the invaluable bibliographical service provided by BTCGI (AR 1994-95, 75), under the direction now of U. Fantasia (since 1999) and C. Ampolo (since 2001). Vols. xiv (1996) and xvi (2001) take the site-index from Pitigliano to Roncoferraro, via a number of major and minor centres that have been treated here over the years (e.g. Pomarico, Poseidonia [Paestum], Reggio Calabria, Riace), and more besides (e.g. Pompei, Ravenna, Regisvilla [the port of Etruscan Vulci], Roma limited, exceptionally, to matters arising from the traditions surrounding the urbs as polis hellenis; xvi, 343-54; and see too G. Vanotti, MEFRA 111 [1999] 217-55); vol. xv (1999) classifies the 1991-1995 crop of general works by subject and author. Also on the practical front, while G. Colonna's longstanding regional 'Scavi e Scoperte' rubric in the Florentine journal Studi Etruschi has now ceased publication (StEtr 61 [1995] 421), the effectively similar service offered by the official Ministerial Bollettino di Archeologia (AR 1994-95, 75) goes from strength to strength, although its immediate usefulness is now seriously impaired by the p
介绍一般。虽然后希腊时代的问题被排除在以下几页的定义之外，但我觉得有必要通过评论E. Curti, E. Dench和J.R. Patterson对意大利中部和南部罗马考古的最新趋势和方法的调查(JRS 86[1996] 170-89)的号召来开始我对AR的最后一篇意大利贡献:“我们已经被强行打击……由于意大利地区考古出版物的数量庞大，我们意识到，无论从地理上还是从时间上来说，这项调查只涵盖了其中的一小部分，不久之后，其中的一部分将被新的出版物所淘汰。由适当的学术机构或期刊定期出版一卷《意大利考古报告》(以希腊学会(Hellenic Society)制作的希腊考古报告为蓝本)，对所有在该领域内外工作的人都具有巨大的价值。”六年过去了，上面的第一句话仍然适用于我自己对r之前在这里考虑的两个领域的事情的调查。第二种不太容易移植。多年的经验表明，在意大利工作的罗马学者最了解自己的业务，但我怀疑，对他们来说，就像他们对史前和C感兴趣的同事一样，过去几年最重要的是，在获得可靠新闻和消息灵通的讨论方面，发生了一种真实的、(让我们希望)不可逆转的巨大变化。对一些人来说，可访问性的提高象征着大量相关且信息丰富的网站(我在后面的页面中指出了一些选择)，以及通过向任何好的搜索引擎提交考古地名通常会产生的详细而可靠的新闻。另一些人则会为BTCGI(1994- 95,75)提供的宝贵书目服务的延续而高兴，现在由U. Fantasia(自1999年起)和C. Ampolo(自2001年起)领导。波动率。xiv(1996)和xvi(2001)从皮蒂格利亚诺(pitgliano)到隆科费拉罗(Roncoferraro)，通过多年来在这里处理的一些主要和次要中心(例如Pomarico, Poseidonia [Paestum]， Reggio Calabria, Riace)，以及更多(例如庞培，拉文纳，Regisvilla[伊特鲁里亚的港口Vulci])，罗马，特别限于围绕城市的传统产生的问题。十六、343 - 54;参见too G. Vanotti, MEFRA 111 [1999] 217-55;第十五卷(1999)按主题和作者分类1991-1995年的一般作品。同样在实践方面，虽然G. Colonna在佛罗伦萨杂志Studi Etruschi上长期存在的区域性“Scavi e Scoperte”标题现在已经停止出版(StEtr 61[1995] 421)，但官方部长级考古公报(AR 1994- 95,75)提供的有效类似服务越来越强大，尽管它的直接用途现在因其发行日期和“finito di stampare”之间的持续时间滞后而严重受损。科学通报(英文版);1992 [1995];16-18 (1992 [1995]);19-21 (1993 [1996]);22 (1993 [1996]);23-24 (1993 [1998]);28-30 (1994 [1999]);35-36 (1995 [2000]);此处未列出的分册由与下面所涵盖的领域无关的专著组成。
