“…According to the experimental reconstructions, when the drill reaches a certain depth in the stone, a sharp blow applied to the tube itself will break off the bore core. This phenomenon certainly explains the absence of chisel cut-marks, unlike those observed on some of the Minoan bore cores (Morero 2009).…”

“…The freshly worked marks appear generally to be of a lighter coloration, contrasting with the darker background, and so strengthening the relief effect. This type of method can be observed on the triton shell rhyton of Malia (Morero 2009, 437–46; Morero in preparation). Other rhyta of this category do not demonstrate the use of that decorative technique, presenting rather a uniform, artificially darkened, surface.…”

“… 7 This method was developed for studies focused on the reconstitution of the stone drilling technology employed for the stone vessels industry in the major centres of the eastern Mediterranean (Crete, Egypt and Levant) during the Bronze Age (Morero et al 2008, Morero 2009, 2011, 2013). The postdoctoral project, sponsored by a research fellowship of the Fyssen Foundation, was carried out at the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and History of Art (RLAHA), Oxford.…”

The first substantial corpus of developed and complex stone vases emerged on the Greek mainland in the shaft graves of Mycenae (Middle Helladic III – Late Helladic I) and was certainly, in large part, of Minoan origin. However, a Mycenaean industry appeared in the Late Helladic III period, which suggests a link with Minoan technology. Indeed, there is an extremely strong possibility that expatriate craftsmen had gradually transmitted their knowledge to local Mycenaean apprentices. A technological study of a corpus of 24 stone vases from Mycenae, dated to the Late Helladic I/II–III, enables the identification and reconstruction of the manufacturing processes and techniques involved in mainland production. It appears to be the case that a great part of the Mycenaean know-how derives from contact with Minoan craftsmanship. However, if a large number of technical elements (use of tubular drilling for the hollowing process, production of the vessels in several parts) may come from a Minoan heritage, the Mycenaeans seem to have quickly developed their own approach – with their own technological emphases, serving purely Mycenaean forms. The vase, based on separately made elements, was a Minoan approach but became properly a mainland concept, which appeared far less commonly in other regions of the eastern Mediterranean. Similarly, the single-tool approach developed for the drilling process (for hollowing the interior of the vessels and for cutting the inlay decoration of the exterior), entirely based on the use of the tubular drill, is purely a native one and is uncommon among eastern Mediterranean vessel traditions. A technological study indicates also the possible coexistence of different types of organisation in the Mycenaean workshops. Thus, the manufacturing processes used, as well as the organisation of the production, are distinct from those of other eastern Mediterranean centres, including Crete.

“…More recently, the study of technical traces and tribological analyses has been employed and adapted to reconstruct manufacturing processes. The first applications, for the analysis of drilling techniques in Minoan stone vessel production, were initiated more than a decade ago (Morero et al 2008;Vargiolu et al 2007;Morero 2011Morero , 2016, in collaboration with the researchers of the Laboratory of Tribology of the École Centrale de Lyon (Laboratoire de Tribologie et de Dynamique des Systèmes -LTDS). 3 Since then, it has been employed and developed for the reconstruction of the technology employed on a range of soft and hard stone products of the Bronze Age (Morero 2015;Morero and Prévalet 2015) and medieval period (Morero et al 2013 and).…”

Access Archaeology offers a different publishing model for specialist academic material that might traditionally prove commercially unviable, perhaps due to its sheer extent or volume of colour content, or simply due to its relatively niche field of interest. This could apply, for example, to a PhD dissertation or a catalogue of archaeological data.All Access Archaeology publications are available in open-access e-pdf format and in print format. The open-access model supports dissemination in areas of the world where budgets are more severely limited, and also allows individual academics from all over the world the opportunity to access the material privately, rather than relying solely on their university or public library. Print copies, nevertheless, remain available to individuals and institutions who need or prefer them.
