This volume, the first in a series of publications on the Austrian
excavations of ancient Aigeira in Achaia, presents all prehistoric and
Mycenaean findings (with the exception of the Mycenaean pottery) from
the highest point of the settlement, the so-called acropolis. Pottery
and small finds from the Final Neolithic and the Early and Middle
Helladic periods provide the oldest evidence of human settlement. The
publication presents the carbon-14 dating, small finds, and the
archaeo-zoological and archaeo-botanical remains of the post-palatial
Mycenaean settlement phase of Late Helladic IIIC. They help to define
the character as well as the status of this settlement within Mycenaean
Greece.
