“…Following EH II, Helike in the early phase of EH III emerges as a conspicuous administrative, economic and trading centre on the south-western coast of the Gulf of Corinth, which had established advanced contacts with the East and was engaged in the long-distance networks of the time. In the third millennium bc , travel by sea extended to unprecedented long-range destinations, which associated the Levantine coast with south Italy and Mediterranean regions even further to the west (Broodbank 2013a, 117), especially from the time of the orientalising cultures of ‘Kastri Group/Lefkandi I’ onwards (Rutter 1979; Manning 1995; Pullen 2013; Renfrew 1972). The technical advances in navigational skills and vehicles that would have enabled the long-range interconnections have been conjectured to lie behind these innovations and the appearance of the new social dynamics (Broodbank 2013b).…”

Excavations carried out by The Helike Project in the Helike plain on the south-western coast of the Gulf of Corinth, north-west Peloponnese, since 2000, have brought to light the well-preserved remains of a coastal Early Helladic (EH) II–III settlement. The site developed as a densely organised settlement during the EH II period and underwent a major architectural transformation at the beginning of the following EH III. In addition to a reorganisation of the settlement on a rectangular town grid, the outstanding feature among the buildings discovered is that of a monumental Corridor House. The newly organised building plan of the settlement was most probably associated with the rise of a new socio-economic structure at the time, including advanced technological specialisation, and possibly the establishment of administrative control within the town supporting communal interests, together with a new emphasis on the status of the private individual.Considering EH Helike in its broader geographical context, the site's prosperity marks an exception to the widespread decline attested in the mainland settlements of the time, and links it rather with centres across the Aegean Sea and further east. In addition to similarities at the level of settlement organisation, such overseas links and contacts are conspicuously evidenced at Helike through the presence of an array of exotic, prestigious items and commodities including an outstanding depas cup of Trojan/Anatolian type, ornaments of precious metal from the east or the north and Melian obsidian tools, and by the adoption of ‘international’ fashions of life such as the ‘serve and drink’ culture and ‘potter's marks’. In this paper, we present the range of material evidence from the EH III town of Helike illustrating its various spheres of foreign contact, and discuss possible insights into the social and economic conditions that generated the town's floruit and cosmopolitanism in EH III.

“…The characteristic Cetina finds from Lerna and Olympia provide additional support to this dating. in both cases, they were recovered from contexts attributed to the EH iii period (Rutter 1982 Najraniji datumi za ljubljansko-jadranski stil su oni iz crnogorskih grobnih gomila. dalje uz jadran prema sjeverozapadu, najraniji raspoloživi datumi su barem dva stoljeća mlađi (sl.…”

“…Generally speaking, most of the pottery from the settlements may be described as similar to Cetina style pottery or reminiscent of it, while very characteristic examples of Cetina pottery are rather rare. interestingly, the relatively greatest quantity of such pottery (several complete vessels and several dozen sherds, including some very characteristic ones) was recovered from two sites on the Peloponnese, Lerna (Rutter 1982) and Olympia (dörpfeld 1935), which probably reflects their thorough exploration. All other settlement sites yielded only isolated characteristic sherds.…”

“…Općenito govoreći, većina lončarije iz naseobinskih nalazišta može se opisati kao bliska ili donekle nalik cetinskoj, dok su izrazito karakteristični primjerci cetinskoga stila rijetki. Zanimljivo je da je relativno najveća količina takve lončarije (nekoliko cijelih posuda i više desetaka ulomaka među kojima ima i vrlo karakterističnih) prikupljena iz dva nalazišta na Peloponezu, Lerne (Rutter 1982) i Olimpije (dörpfeld 1935), što je vjerojatno posljedica njihove temeljite istraženosti. Sa svih ostalih naseobinskih nalazišta potječu tek pojedinačni karakteristični ulomci.…”

Ovaj rad nudi nov sintetički pregled lončarskih stilova trećega tisućljeća prije Krista na prostoru istočnoga Jadrana, temeljen na 146 nalazišta s objavljenom karakterističnom lončarijom. Odmičući se od tradicionalnih koncepata arheoloških kultura i razdoblja, najprije se nastoji jasno definirati ljubljansko-jadranski i cetinski lončarski stil. Potom se kritički preispituje građa koja je dosad bila korištena za datiranje tih stilova: stratigrafski podaci iz višeslojnih nalazišta i asocijacije karakteristične lončarije s metalnim nalazima. Slijedi prvi pokušaj približnoga datiranja spomenutih stilova putem raspoloživih radiokarbonskih datuma. U zaključku rada, ljubljansko-jadranski i cetinski stil smještaju se na temelju svega iznesenog u svoj širi prostorni i vremenski kontekst.
