Στα ίχνη του τεχνίτη: αναζητώντας τεχνολογική παράδοση και ατομικό στυλ σε σύνολα οψιανού από ευβοϊκές θέσεις της πρώιμης εποχής του Χαλκού

Abstract

Euboea has a pivotal role both as the consumer and producer and in the movement of Melian obsidian in the networks on the mainland Greece during the Bronze Age. The large number of sheltered coastal sites along the gulf of Euboea allow us: a) to reconstruct the structure of the technical activities related to chipped stone tool production, that reached its peak during this phase of Aegean prehistory, and b) to follow the traces of the craftsman, the person behind the production procedure, who at the same time used the acquired knowledge and employed technical solutions chosen, following a personal style.
