Excavations at Sissi 2 : preliminary report on the 2009-2010 campaigns /

Since 2007, the Belgian School at Athens has undertaken excavations on the Kefali or Buffo hill, east of the village of Sissi, on the north coast of Crete where a Minoan site was occupied approximately between 2500 and 1200 BC. This volume is the follow-up of an earlier one on the 2007-2008 excavations (published as 'Aegis 1') and presents a preliminary report on the excavations carried out in 2009 and 2010. It concentrates on the different zones examined within the cemetery and settlement. There are also reports on the Late Minoan pottery, site conservation and environmental analysis as well as a paper on the use of GIS at Sissi.Includes bibliographical references.Excavations at Sissi, 2009 and 2010 / Jan Driessen -- GIS on site: a view from Kefali Hill / Piraye Hacigüzeller -- The cemetery at Sissi: report of the 2009 and 2010 campaigns / Ilse Schoep, Aurore Schmitt, Isabelle Crevecoeur -- The excavation of zone 2: the 2009-2010 campaigns / Frank Carpentier -- The excavation of building CD / Florence Gaignerot-Driessen, Quentin Letesson -- Building CD: the excavation of zone 4 / Quentin Letesson -- Building CD: surrounding areas / Thibaut Gomrée -- The excavation of zone 5 / Maud Devolder -- The excavation of zones 6 and 7 / Simon Jusseret -- La céramique MM IIIB-MR IIIB de Sissi / Charlotte Langohr -- Macroscopic analysis of three neopalatial and postpalatial conical cup assemblages: preliminary remarks on Late Bronze Age semi-fine fabrics at Sissi / Florence Liard -- Bio-archaeological assemblages and ground stone artefacts: methodological frameword and preliminary results / Valasia Isaakidou, Alexandra Livarda, Christina Tsoraki, Rena Veropoulidou -- Technikē ekthesē stereoseōs ston archaiologiko chōro sisiou / Nearchos Nikakis.
