“…As a model of interpretation, the concept of a population movement which introduced ‘Anatolian’ pottery to Euboea and elsewhere (for a summary of views, see Alram-Stern 2004, 527–31; also Broodbank 2000, 309–19) is here discounted 13 . A more complex mechanism is required as a vehicle for the appearance of ‘Anatolian’ pottery in Helladic contexts, a mechanism or process, moreover, which embraces other objective, artefactual materials such as metal.…”

The aim of this article is to publish David French's manuscript on Lefkandi Phase I, in as close a form as possible to what he wrote. Some changes have been necessary to improve the presentation of the material, to correct occasional errors, and to conform with BSA stylistic requirements. The material discussed is essentially that from the lowest levels of the ‘Deep Sounding’ in Trench CC. The discussion has four sections. The first section is a very brief comment on the stratigraphical data, including sections of the Lefkandi Phase I stratum in Trench CC and plans of the remains of sub-phases. The second section is the core of the paper, a general account of the pottery, listing wares and shapes identifiable, which demonstrates that it contains a little material from periods certain or likely to be earlier than Phase I (Final Neolithic, Early Helladic I and Early Helladic II), also later strays, but essentially belongs to a range of wares that have clear West Anatolian links, although it cannot be linked exclusively with any individual Anatolian site or region. The third section lists the small finds from the stratum, with catalogue entries on the most significant, including a seal impression on a probable pithos rim fragment. Finally, the fourth section sums up views on the classification of the pottery, its chronological relationship with the Early Helladic sequence, its cultural relationship with West Anatolian material, and the question of how an essentially Anatolian style of pottery came to be locally produced in Euboea, with a range of references to comparable material from other Aegean sites.

This article aims to summarise the results of three periods of fieldwork carried out since 2006. These are the Cambridge Keros Project of 2006–2008, the Keros Island Survey of 2012–2013, and the Keros-Naxos Seaways Project of 2015–2018. Taken together, these form a coherent, large-scale project that aimed to study a maritime landscape in some depth, putting the Kavos and Dhaskalio sites in a broader context, while through excavation understanding in great detail the formation, use and abandonment of the sanctuary site on Kavos and the large built-up area on Dhaskalio.

“…The seafaring traders also established ‘colonies’ through which the Anatolian Trade Network extended over the Cyclades and Greek mainland, especially Euboea, like the example at Kanlıgeçit in Thrace. Pottery and certain architectural features with Anatolian connections have been unearthed in the Cyclades, especially in the northern and eastern islands of Syros (Bossert 1967; Marthari 1998), Naxos (Doumas 1972; Angelopoulou 2003), Keos (Wilson 1999), Delos (MacGillivray 1980), Amorgos (Davis 2001, 73) and Keros (Broodbank 2000b) (Fig. 1a).…”

THE ANATOLIAN TRADE NETWORK AND THE IZMIR REGION DURING THE EARLY BRONZE AGE

The monumental Early Bronze Age settlement at Liman Tepe (Levels VI-IV) (predecessor of the classical site of Klazomenai), on the southern shore of the Gulf of Izmir, is a good indication of the emergence of settlements with centralised organisation on the west coast of Anatolia. Similar developments can also be followed in Troy at the northernmost limit of the western coastline, on the islands of the north and east Aegean, and at the inland site of Küllüoba in north-west Anatolia. Over a much wider geographical area, extending from south-eastern Anatolia via central and western Anatolia, the islands of the east Aegean, the Cyclades, and mainland Greece, a distinctive set of cultural features emerged at the end of Early Bronze Age II. An explanation of the cultural changes taking place along the west Anatolian coastline at this time should thus be sought in the perspective of this wider sphere. These features can be summarised as follows: • organised settlement structures indicating the presence of a central authority; • monumental fortification systems; • large settlements with citadels and lower towns; • first introduction of wheel-made pottery (mass production); • first appearance of certain new pottery shapes such as depas, tankard, twohandled cup, wheel-made plate, incised pyxis, cutaway-spouted jug and 'Syrian bottles'; • first examples of tin bronzes. These cultural changes, appearing suddenly in a wide geographical range at approximately the same time, can only be explained by the presence of wide international contacts. The character and the nature of these relations are becoming clearer as recent excavations yield new information. This paper aims to shed new light on the nature of the Anatolian Trade Network (ATN) period in the light of new archaeological data from Liman Tepe and Bakla Tepe located on the west Anatolian coastline. The importance of the Izmir region as a bridge between the land trade routes of Anatolia and the sea trade routes of G Ş 339 the Aegean and various effects of this unique location on the region's cultural development are discussed.The first settlements on a monumental scale in Anatolia, such as the administrative buildings that have been unearthed at Arslantepe (Malatya), with their complex administrative systems indicated by the extensive use of sealing, arose as a result of long-distance trade relations with Mesopotamia as early as the later fourth millennium BC (Frangipane 1997(Frangipane , 2002. These early urban centres were important in the establishment of new trade ties linking areas rich in metals with those where these resources were lacking. The widespread use of metals and the development of metallurgy played an important role in disseminating innovations over a wide area in central and western Anatolia and the Aegean during the third millennium BC. In the second half of the third millennium BC (Fig. 2) material remains and technical developments thus began to appear over a wide area, spreading from northern Syria to southern and central The similarities in materia...
