Excavations at Sissi 3 : preliminary report on the 2011 campaign /

Between 2007 and 2011, the Belgian School at Athens undertook excavations on the Kefali or Buffo hill, east of the village of Sissi, on the north coast of Crete, only a few kilometres east of Malia. The project has revealed the remains of a settlement and cemetery, used during different phases of the Bronze Age (2500-1200 B.C.). This volume details the results of the 2011 campaign, the last in our first 5-year programme. The work in the different zones is described and reports on Late Minoan pottery, petrographic analysis, shells and ground stone tools are attached.Includes bibliographical references.Excavations at Sissi, 2011 / Jan Driessen -- The Cemetery at Sissi: report on the 2011 campaign / Ilse Schoep, Aurore Schmitt, Isabelle Crevecoeur, Sylvaine Déderix -- The excavation of zone 2: the 2011 campaign / Frank Carpentier -- The excavation of building CD / Florence Gaignerot-Driessen, Quentin Letesson -- The excavation of zone 3 / Florence Gaignerot-Driessen -- The excavation of zone 4 / Quentin Letesson -- The excavation of the open area north of building E in zone 5 / Maud Devolder -- The excavation of zone 6 / Simon Jusseret -- Observations on some late Minoan pottery from Sissi / Charlotte Langohr -- Petrographic analysis of three neopalatial and postpalatial conical cup assemblages / Florence Liard -- Sissi: the shell assemblages: preliminary results from building CD and building E / Rena Veropoulidou -- Ground stone technologies at the Bronze Age settlement of Sissi: preliminary results / Christina Tsoraki.Between 2007 and 2011, the Belgian School at Athens undertook excavations on the Kefali or Buffo hill, east of the village of Sissi, on the north coast of Crete, only a few kilometres east of Malia.
