INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

METHODS OF THE PROJECT 9
29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3

Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

5 Harland 19286 George Mylonas gave Wright the archival manuscript
that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

10 INTRODUCTION
30 The system was devised by Mary K Dabney Jeremy B Rutter and Robert Sutton Rutter later adapted it for ceramic study elsewhere notably for his study of the EH III pottery
from Lerna contra Pullen 2011 p 1131 Pullen 2011 pp 8ndash932 Cf Pullen 2011 p 12 table 11
a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3

Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

and also for permitting us to use the sheds for washing the finds and for conducting our water- sieving operations at the site without having to pay for water
22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987
24 Wright et al 1990 p 61925 These surface collections were not processed prior to
excavation and therefore not used to guide excavation Chap-ter 3 retrospectively examines the issues of the relation of this surface material to what was found below it

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

cedure for water- sieving was as follows for ashy or burnt de-
posits 50 of each SMU (unless very extensive then 25) for pits 25 for isolated patches of burnt or heavily organic strata and pot contents 100

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

5 Harland 19286 George Mylonas gave Wright the archival manuscript
that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

NVAP OBJECT FORMAT
1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

5 Harland 19286 George Mylonas gave Wright the archival manuscript
that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

NVAP OBJECT FORMAT
1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

METHODS OF THE PROJECT 9
29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3

Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

10 INTRODUCTION
30 The system was devised by Mary K Dabney Jeremy B Rutter and Robert Sutton Rutter later adapted it for ceramic study elsewhere notably for his study of the EH III pottery
from Lerna contra Pullen 2011 p 1131 Pullen 2011 pp 8ndash932 Cf Pullen 2011 p 12 table 11
a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

and also for permitting us to use the sheds for washing the finds and for conducting our water- sieving operations at the site without having to pay for water
22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987
24 Wright et al 1990 p 61925 These surface collections were not processed prior to
excavation and therefore not used to guide excavation Chap-ter 3 retrospectively examines the issues of the relation of this surface material to what was found below it

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

cedure for water- sieving was as follows for ashy or burnt de-
posits 50 of each SMU (unless very extensive then 25) for pits 25 for isolated patches of burnt or heavily organic strata and pot contents 100

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

NVAP OBJECT FORMAT
1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

METHODS OF THE PROJECT 9
29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

5 Harland 19286 George Mylonas gave Wright the archival manuscript
that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

INTRODUCTIONby Mary K Dabney and James C Wright
The Mycenaean settlement on Tsoungiza in Ancient Nemea is located around the southern knoll of a serpentine ridge at the head of the Nemea Valley in the Corinthia
Greece (Fig 11) The knoll occupies the western edge of the modern village of Iraklio (of-ficially Archaia Nemea) and lies about 1 km west of the Sanctuary of Zeus which is located in the plain through which the Nemea River courses These Mycenaean settlement remains are the uppermost cultural deposits of a site also occupied in the Neolithic (N) and Early Helladic (EH) periods and are comprised of Middle Helladic (MH) late through Late Hel-ladic (LH) III remains The results of the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project- Archaeological Survey (NVAP- AS) have indicated that Tsoungiza was the largest settlement in the Nemea Valley during the Early and Late Mycenaean periods The proximity of Tsoungiza to the fortified citadel at Mycenae raises questions regarding the social political and economic relationship between the two sites
HISTORY OF EXCAVATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE PROJECT
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) first began exploration in this region in 1892 when under the supervision of Director of the School Charles Waldstein Henry S Washington undertook excavations at Ancient Phlious1 Interest in this area led to a School expedition in 1924 when then Director of the School Bert Hodge Hill undertook excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea that were supported by the University of Cin-cinnati Concurrently Carl W Blegen the Schoolrsquos assistant director launched two addi-tional explorations one at the prehistoric settlement of Tsoungiza near the Sanctuary of Zeus at the western limits of the modern village of Iraklio and the other at Ancient Phlious farther to the northwest in the valley of New Nemea (formerly Ayios Giorgios)2 More re-cently each of these excavations was resumed by archaeologists working under ASCSA permitsmdashPhlious by William Biers of the University of Missouri at Columbia and the Sanc-tuary of Zeus and Tsoungiza Hill by Stephen G Miller and Stella G Miller of the University of California at Berkeley3
Blegen recognized prehistoric remains on the hill of nearby Tsoungiza and in 1924 com-menced trial trenches atop the hill He had hoped to uncover ldquoan early rock- hewn tombrdquo4 but instead found a massive Neolithic refuse dump along the southern slope and traces of

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

Early Bronze Age (EBA) and later remains around the top of the hill Preoccupied with new excavations at nearby Zygouries Blegen turned the project over to James P Harland who directed much more comprehensive excavations in 1926 and 19275 The results of Harlandrsquos excavations were never published but his manuscript and field records are now available in the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project Archive at Bryn Mawr College and the archives of the Archaeological Society at Athens6
In response to a building permit request Konstantina Kaza-Papageorgiou of the Nau-plion Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service began test excavations on Tsoungiza in 1973 The work was continued in 1973ndash1975 and 1979 by members of the University of California at Berkeley Project whose work was focused on excavating in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Ancient Nemea Excavations on Tsoungiza by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Proj-ect (NVAP) began in 1981 and continued through 1986 These comprised the pilot project of 1981 a salvage project conducted by Robert Bridges and Daniel Pullen in 1982 in the Chatzaras field on the eastern slope and reported by Pullen7 and test excavations and cor-

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with

Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

that had been entrusted to him by Harland with the wish that it might be published Afterward Kenneth Sams of the De-partment of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delivered to Wright all the archives that remained at the university including notebooks catalogues photo-graphs and a small collection of finds which today are housed at Bryn Mawr College Subsequently Wright was informed by
Dora Vasilikou that more archival material was in the archives at the Archaeological Society at Athens This material was in the archives of Spiros Iakovidis who had received them when he inherited the Mylonas archives Wright thanks Dora Vasi-likou and Ioanna Ninou archivist of the Archaeological Soci-ety for their generous assistance in giving him full access to the archives

14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14

10 Wright 1982 Wright et al 1990 The pilot season was generously financed by Stephen G Miller and conducted un-der the University of California at Berkeley permit held by him
11 Cavanagh and Mee 199812 For a survey of such architecture see Hiesel 199013 For Tiryns see Gercke Gercke and Hiesel 1971 from
Mycenae MH remains of architecture were known from near the West House (Verdelis 1962 pp 19ndash20) at Argos remains were known from Vollgrarsquos excavations (Vollgra 1907)
but only recently has systematic excavation clarified the se-quence and dates of occupation see Papadimitriou Philippa- Touchais and Touchais 2015 for an up- to- date account for Asine see Dietz 1980 1991 For Athens Iakovidis (1962 pp 69ndash70) claimed nothing could be dated to this period though much throughout Attica is now known (Privitera 2013 pp 27ndash33)
14 Two plots of land were acquired the top of the hill from Mrs Ioannis Skleris and a field on the southern slope from Mr Sotiropoulos Wright is grateful to Stephen G Miller for his assistance in arranging these purchases and to the late Dimitrios Kallis a protonotary (συμβουλαιογράφος) in New Nemea
ing conducted by James C Wright and Mary K Dabney in 1982 and 1983 in preparation for the three-year season that took place in 1984ndash19868 This expedition was fortunate to dis-cover a series of strata sealed waste deposits and architectural ensembles that preserve re-mains from MH III early terminal MH III LH I in several phases LH IIA LH IIB LH IIIA2 early LH IIIA2 late LH IIIB1 LH IIIB2 and some LH IIIC early Together with the disparate evidence from 1924 through 1983 these remains permit a detailed account of the life of the settlement over more than 500 years of continuous habitation9 Unless otherwise stated the materials appearing in this volume are the results of the excavations conducted by NVAP
The origins of NVAP date from 1981 when Wright and Dabney conducted a pilot season of excavation on the hill of Tsoungiza in the village of Ancient Nemea Their aim was to as-certain if the remains uncovered during previous research and salvage work undertaken from the 1920s through 1979 merited further excavation Wright had been asked by Ste-phen G Miller to take on the responsibility of publishing the prehistoric remains on Tsoun-giza that had been explored by Blegen and then by Harland during the 1920s but were never published except for brief notes and a posthumous report on the Neolithic remains from Tsoungiza10
The discovery during the pilot season of 1981 of the burnt remains of a household of LH I date was sucient encouragement for Wright to take on this work Evidence for LH I settlement was scarce earlier excavations throughout central and southern Greece had re-covered many tombs of this period most famously in Grave Circles A and B at Mycenae but also from cemeteries elsewhere11 but LH I architectural remains were not common and what existed had never been excavated with care to recover and document all the organic and inorganic remains in context12 The lack of such remains at Mycenae in particular but also at the major centers of Tiryns and Argos as well as at Pylos Athens and Thebes for example meant that the early phases of those places that later developed into palace centers were not only poorly understood but also not able to be assessed in terms of the sociopoliti-cal and economic evolution of Mycenaean society13 In addition the prospect that a settle-ment close to Mycenae (a three-hour walk) dated from this period oered the opportunity to compare the nature of settlement at a distance from the emerging centers in the Argolid Thus the idea for a research project at Ancient Nemea began to take shape
Wright devised a plan for excavation and proceeded to purchase the property on Tsoun-giza Hill in order to excavate more thoroughly the prehistoric remains there in hopes of uncovering more of an Early Mycenaean settlement14 A natural question was not only what was the nature of Bronze Age settlement in the Nemea Valley and how it might compare to that elsewhere in the northeastern Peloponnese but also what could be learned from a more systematic survey of human activity and settlement throughout the valley Therefore Wright turned to Jack L Davis who with John F Cherry had undertaken an intensive regional

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage

When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

METHODS OF THE PROJECT 9
29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

15 Cherry Davis and Mantzourani 1991 Davis was at that time at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Cherry was at Cambridge University
16 Present at this planning workshop were Cherry Dabney Davis and Wright as well as Robin Torrence then at Sheeld University Susan Sutton then at Indiana UniversityndashPurdue University Indianapolis and Robert Sutton then at Loyola University Wright et al 1990 p 583
17 A matching grant from NEH (RO 20731) and grants from NGS (2971ndash1984) the Institute for Aegean Prehistory
(INSTAP) and private donors were secured for the first part of the work Later grants were received from NEH (outright grant RO 21715) INSTAP (1985 1986 1987) and NGS (3265ndash1986) as well as from William Broekhuysen in honor of his wife Elizabeth and from Alwin Carus Elisabeth Carus Fran-ces F Jones Lucien Levy Rueben Resnick James H Wright and Margaret G Wright and Carl Youngdale

survey in northwest Kea15 They in turn brought in Eleni Mantzourani of the University of Athens and the three of them developed an ambitious plan to improve on the methods of survey that in conjunction with the ongoing excavations would cover all periods of human activity in the region An informal planning workshop in December 1983 in Chicago devel-oped a proposal for a multidisciplinary three-year project in the Nemea Valley ldquoto document and explain changes in patterns of settlement and land use at all times in the pastrdquo16 Fund-ing was secured from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Geographic Society (NGS) and a permit was approved by the Ministry of Culture for three yearsrsquo work from 1984 through 198617
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
The previous archaeological and historical research demonstrated very long habitation of the Nemea Valley and the adjacent valleys to the east and west which respectively supported the city-states of Kleonai and Phlious The Nemea Valley without an apparent independent polity instead housed the Sanctuary of Zeus and the attendant and famous Nemean Games which were under the domination of neighbors18 The intermediate position of the Nemea Valley was further emphasized by its proximity to the Tretos Pass at nearby Dervenakia which was well known from classical sources (Paus 2152) and continued to be used for the main modern rail line and highway between the Corinthia and the Argolid South of the valley the ancient Kelossa Pass (Xenophon Hell 477 Paus 2113) led from the Phliasia into the Argolid debouching near Phiktia above Argos and near Mycenae19 The Nemea Valley thus seemed ideal for a study of long-term change in the northeastern Peloponnese focusing on the interactions of major players within the region from the Bronze Age through the period of the classical city-states and beyond from late antiquity to the present A mod-ern methodologically up-to-date excavation of the prehistoric occupation of Tsoungiza Hill presented an excellent opportunity to obtain stratigraphic information and a rich body of data that in combination with information gathered by a systematic survey would enable a thorough study of the nature of the changing relationship between the study area and the external worldmdashboth adjacent and more distant
Out of these considerations five principal goals were developed The first was to complete and complement the archaeological explorations on Tsoungiza Hill over the years and to prepare a final publication It followed from this that the hill needed to be surveyed and exploratory trenches needed to be made to determine the maximal extent of settlement and to clarify its chronological range This work had also to be coordinated with the work done by Blegen and Harland as established through consultation with their archives The second goal was to understand the processes of site formation which meant making sound-ings to bedrock and coordinating with the projectrsquos geomorphologist The third goal was to find evidence of the economic basis of the settlements on Tsoungiza Hill The fourth was to

with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

and also for permitting us to use the sheds for washing the finds and for conducting our water- sieving operations at the site without having to pay for water
22 Wright et al 1990 pp 618ndash62423 The collection by 1 times 1 m grids had been experimented
with in 1981 and was systematically carried out for all excava-tion with the grids being oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service markers in the region This grid was first laid out by Frederick Cooper to be in line with that established
in the Sanctuary of Zeus It was later corrected for the master topographical map of Tsoungiza by Walter C Payne chief of surveys for the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and in charge of site topographical survey in 1985ndash1987

excavation and therefore not used to guide excavation Chap-ter 3 retrospectively examines the issues of the relation of this surface material to what was found below it

place the prehistoric remains within the context of the Nemea Valley as a whole in com-parison especially with the survey data20 The fifth was to gather enough architectural and habitation material to understand in detail the changing relationship of the settlements on Tsoungiza with discoveries from the rest of the Nemea Valley and with excavated settlements throughout the northeastern Peloponnese and beyond To these ends the project devel-oped explicit methods for excavation survey geological studies and coordinating with the environmental and archaeological work of the survey Managing these goals required the fashioning of fieldwork protocols for excavation sampling recovery documentation con-servation and storage
METHODS OF THE PROJECT
When excavation on Tsoungiza by NVAP began the area was under cultivation with the use of mechanical plows In various fields the crops included olives grapes and grain The depth of soil above bedrock was relatively shallow therefore the plow zone reached bedrock in some areas Erosion from the top of the hill was also evident One area of the site was covered by two large cinder block structures periodically used as chicken sheds Accurate records of earthmoving by earlier excavators including the locations of dumps and the depth of backfill were not available though from interviews with the landowners it was ap-parent that the lower fields to the east where the chicken sheds were located had been leveled by bulldozing probably in the 1960s21 All these factors influenced the preservation of and access to the remains of the prehistoric settlement We decided to pursue four strate-gies of data collection surface survey remote sensing excavation according to a grid of 1 m2
units and sampling Executing these protocols meant setting up a standardized recording and tracking system that coordinated activities from the moment of excavation through to storage in the museum It also meant systematic collection of soil excavated for dry-sieving and passing through a water flotation device for near 100 retrieval of inorganic and or-ganic remains22
The process of survey of Tsoungiza is described in Chapter 3 by Phoebe Acheson Surface survey according to a 1 times 1 m grid was conducted for all areas to be excavated and carried out by team members of the excavation23 The surface of the ground was lightly picked to simulate a plowed surface in order to create a uniform visibility for all collection A planned 10 times 10 m survey around the site discussed in the preliminary report of 1990 did not take place24 Instead survey teams conducted four area surveys on the slopes around the site in 1986 and 1990 using 20 times 20 m grids25 Remote sensing using a resistivity meter was carried out by David Jordan of Bradford University and Carl Heron of the University of Wales26 The results were not encouraging owing to the excessive dryness of the soil the omnipresence of marl and the extent of disturbance caused by deep plowing

As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

27 Wright et al 1990 pp 621ndash62328 Wright et al 1990 p 623 The standard sampling pro-
cedure for water- sieving was as follows for ashy or burnt de-
posits 50 of each SMU (unless very extensive then 25) for pits 25 for isolated patches of burnt or heavily organic strata and pot contents 100
Figure 12 Diagram of square meter unit (SMU) within stratigraphic unit (SU) J C Wright and J E Pfa
As described in the preliminary report excavation was carried out in stratigraphic units (SU)27 In order to control for horizontal distribution all excavated areas were recorded in separate spatial units according to their grid squares these were designated as square me-ter units (SMU) (Fig 12) Trenches were called excavation units (EU) All trenches were divided into 1 m2 grids oriented to the Hellenic Military Geographical Service coordinate system and each SMU was labeled by the southwestern corner thus E20690N6390 desig-nated the square meter that extended to E20691N6391 For ease of reference these are abbreviated throughout as for example 690390 As SUs were excavated standardized forms for each SMU within the SU were filled out and on each a diagram was drawn show-ing the location of the SMU relative to the SU At the boundaries of an SU SMUs were often divided between two adjacent SUs This system permitted horizontal and vertical (stratigraphic) mapping of distributions of all soils and all material recovered It also con-trolled for sampling Sampling for dry-sieving and flotation was systematic and standard-ized for all excavation28 The chicken sheds were used for flotation and a system of inter-changeable metal screens (07 and 05 cm) was employed so that large amounts of soil from the various EUs under excavation could be processed A team of local workers was trained by the palaeobotanist Julie Hansen then of Boston University to sort the residue from flotation
Recording in the field was done with standardized recording forms made in triplicate and according to a system of fields the information from which was then entered into a portable

computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

10 INTRODUCTION
30 The system was devised by Mary K Dabney Jeremy B Rutter and Robert Sutton Rutter later adapted it for ceramic study elsewhere notably for his study of the EH III pottery
from Lerna contra Pullen 2011 p 1131 Pullen 2011 pp 8ndash932 Cf Pullen 2011 p 12 table 11
a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU

METHODS OF THE PROJECT 9
29 The first PC was a Kaypro II using 525- inch floppy disks
computer located in the museum29 The first form to be filled out in the field was the SU form which summarized the unit with a diagram and with the primary and secondary coor-dinates defining its boundaries and its relationship to other SUs (following the principle of the Harris Matrix) Standardized criteria were selected describing the soil the technique of excavation and the degree of disturbance of the soil Each feature discovered in excavation was numbered consecutively Features are wall base posthole pittrench hearth bench grave floor and other Samples for soil analysis and for radiocarbon dating were also num-bered A box was checked to record whether or not the excavated soil was dry-sieved or sent for flotation and whether plans and sections were drawn separately on graph paper Further information was recorded for each find according to whether it was inorganic (ceramic ground stone chipped stone plaster copperbronze lead gold or silver or other) or or-ganic (bone shell seed charcoal or other) Accompanying photographs taken were re-corded according to black and white or color with roll and frame number noted (and writ-ten notes made on the journal page accompanying the form recording what was photographed and from what angle) Individual forms documenting the same information including a sketch were also filled out in the field for each SMU In this manner all aspects of the process of excavation and of the context of all finds were recorded in a standardized manner Finds could be piece-plotted for example in the diagram of each SMU and also in separate drawings on graph paper but if not they would always be located within the square meter of their SMU providing a complete context for all the finds from each SU
Terracotta and stone objects were collected in the trenches in tagged buckets and sent to the chicken sheds where they were cleaned according to protocols devised by the conserva-tors These included soaking in water and for some ceramics washing in a solution of hy-drochloric (HCl) acid to remove lime encrustation Thereafter such material was soaked in water to remove any remaining salts and acid Trained workers also hand cleaned ceramics and some stone objects which were then dried before being bagged up and sent to the mu-seum Special objectsmdashfor example metal bone seeds and so onmdashwere separately bagged and sent to the museum for cleaning and study by their respective experts usually with con-sultation with conservators if any cleaning was necessary
We were fortunate to have in the museum two large rooms for laying out the finds so as to sort count weigh and group them often in SMU and SU order This was especially impor-tant for the pottery processing as it enabled the ceramic specialists to read quickly the mate-rial coming out of the trenches and provide quick feedback to the trench supervisors on the character and ceramic dates by SU and SMU so that adjustments in excavation strategy were made within one to two days of the discovery of pottery Each specialist was able to sort count and weigh according to the prevailing standards for studying and analyzing their material whether for botanical faunal ceramic lithic or metal Each specialist also created a database for the material being collected so that the necessary criteria for analysis were recorded in a standardized fashion that also was keyed through a unique object number tied to the context by SU and SMU These were then easily searchable for further study using the database
The data were entered into dBase II which at that time was limited to 32 fields (it has since been upgraded to Microsoft Access) Therefore each activity was recorded in separate databases one each for excavation conservation drawings photography storage artifacts faunal botanical chipped stone and ground stone A code sheet (reproduced at the end of this chapter) with many numerical variables was used for recording Each database included

30 The system was devised by Mary K Dabney Jeremy B Rutter and Robert Sutton Rutter later adapted it for ceramic study elsewhere notably for his study of the EH III pottery
from Lerna contra Pullen 2011 p 1131 Pullen 2011 pp 8ndash932 Cf Pullen 2011 p 12 table 11
a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

a unique number for each object so that multiple databases could be linked The unique object number was made by assigning sequential numbers for SUsmdasheg EU 7 consisted of SUs 1000ndash1299 EU 8 of SUs 1300ndash1400 To this number was attached a ldquomaterialrdquo number (1) boneivory (2) clay (3) glassfaience (4) shell (5) metal (6) organic (charcoal wood and seeds) (7) plaster (8) stone (9) other and mixed material For each material type examples were listed sequentially Thus the first ceramic object from SU 1122 would be listed as 1122-2-1 and the next 1122-2-2 In this manner it was easy to track objects as they flowed through the system and afterward to retrieve them from storage for further study The object code sheet listed context information followed by standardized criteria for infor-mation about material decoration form preservation measurements photographs con-servation location drawing composition analysis a series of detailed criteria for form and decoration date (with 99 possible from prehistoric through modern and including not dat-able) and finally space for remarks and bibliographypublication information30 This sys-tem has guided all study since and remains available for future study with plans to provide all data through an open access portal managed by Bryn Mawr College
SELECTION OF AREAS FOR EXCAVATION
Previous excavations by Blegen Harland the Greek Archaeological Service (GAS) and the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) had uncovered NndashLH III remains In order to coordinate earlier work with the new excavations areas previously excavated were reopened Harlandrsquos Trenches P and R were explored in NVAP EU 531 Harlandrsquos Trench L was located in a trial trench and the stratigraphy of the area explored in the adjacent NVAP EU 10 This enabled mapping of Trench L according to the NVAP grid though it did not prove possible to locate finds other than generally following Harlandrsquos sometimes contradictory notes Ex-cavation in the area of the GAS Trenches Α Β and Γ and the adjacent UCB test trench in 1979 was continued in NVAP EUs 1 3 and 7 The stratigraphy of Blegenrsquos 1924 excavations of Neolithic remains and the UCB 1974 excavations in Areas DDD and EEE 22 and 23 was examined in NVAP EU 4 The finds from these previous excavations have been assigned NVAP SU numbers as indicated in Table 1132
Systematic surface collection of archaeological remains coring to test the depth of fill above bedrock and remote sensing with a resistivity meter and a magnetometer provided additional criteria Excavation was concentrated in the areas with the best preservation at the 368ndash369 masl contour of the hill Being closest to the modern surface the LH III re-mains were more extensively disturbed by modern plowing than remains from earlier peri-ods They also appeared to have been preserved eastward into land we did not own where George Papaioannoursquos chicken sheds were located
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
The aim of this publication of the excavations on Tsoungiza Hill is to provide the reader with an accessible presentation of the stratigraphy architectural remains and artifacts in their context along with analytical studies of the inorganic and organic finds Hence the work is divided into two parts

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

NVAP OBJECT FORMAT
1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

33 Rutter 1990 1993b
Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

38 Wright thanks Malcolm H Wiener and Sturt Manning for help in preparing Tables 12 and 13 and Figure 13 see Manning et al 2006 for publication of some 14C dates from Tsoungiza
Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU

Part 1 provides the history of research the topography of Tsoungiza Hill the results of the surface survey of Tsoungiza with some consideration of the relationship of its finds to the underlying excavated remains and then a summary of the phases of occupation which ex-tend from MH III early through LH IIIC early There follows a presentation of the remains in primarily counterclockwise order from the excavations in EU 6 at the southwest through EU 8 EU 7 the GAS trenches EU 2 EU 3 the LH III pits of EU 8 the LH III remains in the southern area excavated by UCB in 1974ndash1975 northward to EUs 9 and 10 and then to Harlandrsquos trenches of 1926ndash1927 (Variations from this ordermdashnamely the division of EU 8 into two sections the insertion of the GAS excavations after EU 7 the reversion to EU 3 after the presentation of EU 2 and the description of the UCB excavations in 1974ndash1975 after the EU 8 pitsmdashtake into account the need to present LH III material together as much as pos-sible) Human skeletal remains identified by Sevasti Triantaphyllou are presented in order of their discovery in each EU Harlandrsquos trenches are described in alphabetical order (AndashE G J K M O Q T V X) followed by a lengthy description of the major LH II building complex uncovered in Trench L A few remarks on material from the predominantly EH Trenches P and R (published by Pullen) finish this section The final chapter in Part 1 pres-ents conclusions
Part 2 contains the specialist studies It begins with a study of building materials and tech-niques of building by Rebecca Mersereau that includes a catalogue of mudbrick mud plas-ters lime plasters and mud-built furnishings There follows Jeremy B Rutterrsquos study of the MH IIIndashLH IIB pottery deposits (groups CndashE and G) The presentation of groups A and B was made in 1990 and of group F in 1993 covering respectively MH III earlyndashlate from EUs 6 and 2 and a deposit of LH IIA from EU 1033 Here material of MH III terminal is pre-sented as group C while LH I material from the West and East Buildings and debris in EU 8 from their destruction comprises groups D and E Group G is an important deposit of LH IIB from a household rubbish pit found in EU 2 The pottery study concludes with a report of the neutron activation analyses of the MH IIIndashLH II pottery conducted by S M A Ho-mann Jonathan E Tomlinson and Hans Mommsen with commentary by Jeremy B Rutter A further ceramic study of Late Bronze Age cooking pottery is then provided by Bartłomiej Lis This is followed by a study of the chipped stone tools (obsidian and chert) from MH III through LH III levels by Anna Karabatsoli and of the ground stone tools by James C Wright Mary K Dabney and James C Wright then present a catalogue of tools weapons figurines and personal ornaments organized as Early and Late Mycenaean An analysis of the archaeo-botanical remains by Susan E Allen and Kathleen M Forste follows Then Tatiana Theodo-ropoulou presents the aquatic faunal remains and Paul Halstead concludes Part 2 with his analysis of the faunal remains from the settlement
TERMINOLOGY
The authors will explain the terminology appropriate to their specialist studies A few words are necessary however regarding terms used by NVAP The system of recording using EUs SUs and SMUs has already been explained Also already explained is the use of Eastings and Northings which records to the nearest centimeter (eg E2069196N639123 which would be abbreviated here as 6919639123) Elevations are recorded as meters above sea level (masl) except where centimeters are preferred and listed as cm Weights are in grams

RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

Object numbers as described above are assigned their unique SU number followed by ma-terial and sequence numbers Hence 1133-2-3 is SU 1133-ceramic-third object catalogued These are replaced in the catalogues in this volume by catalogue numbers as they appear Catalogue numbers are preceded by letters specific to the artifact category under study Hence Rutterrsquos study of the Early Mycenaean pottery is subdivided according to deposits from MH III through LH II (AndashG) Mersereaursquos study of building material is catalogued with each item prefixed by BM (building material) Karabatsolirsquos study of chipped stone employs CS (chipped stone) and Wrightrsquos study of ground stone uses GS (ground stone) Occa-sional items catalogued from Harlandrsquos excavations are preceded by H (Harland) The pre-fix TS stands for Tsoungiza
RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE CHRONOLOGY
The relative chronology for the Middle (MBA) and Late Bronze Age (LBA) settlement on Tsoungiza follows the conventions for pottery on the mainland of Greece Because of the care taken in excavating according to observable stratigraphic distinctions (SUs) and to horizontal distinctions recorded as SMUs it has been possible to reconstruct deposits that are no longer distinctly superimposed upon one another best illustrated by the MH III groups AndashC34 This has enabled Rutter to refine occupation according to phases named MH III early and MH III terminal Likewise the architectural phases in the West and East Buildings of EU 7 permit finely graded distinctions within LH I down to the transition to LH IIA as discussed by Rutter in his presentation of groups D and E Of special importance is group G of LH IIB style Rutter emphasizes the importance of this deposit because it is a large late deposit otherwise not well known from domestic contexts and important for dis-tinguishing the final phases before LH IIIA1 begins LH IIIA1 is the least well-represented phase of occupation at Tsoungiza with no architectural remains associated with it This is equally true of its representation in the cemetery at Ayia Sotira and the chamber tomb at Barnavos neither of which clearly showed a tomb constructed at this time35 LH IIIA2 is dis-tinguished in this presentation by deposits in EU 9 where the lowermost already published by Patrick M Thomas is LH IIIA2 early with anities to LH IIIA136 Material from later in LH IIIA2 overlies this deposit and is published here by Dabney thus providing stratigraphic evidence for successive phases within this subdivision Another pit in EU 2 was previously published by Thomas and is the largest LH IIIB1 early domestic deposit ever excavated and published37 This deposit is supplemented by other pits published here by Dabney who also records the scanty remains of LH IIIB2 Likewise she demonstrates in this study that archi-tectural and ceramic remains document the persistence of activity on Tsoungiza Hill into LH IIIC early Thus although a continuous stratigraphic sequence at Tsoungiza was not preserved scattered architecture and deposits of debris clearly record continuous habita-tion from the beginning of MH III to the beginning of LH IIIC (Table 12)
These deposits are also datable in absolute terms because of radiocarbon samples taken and dated by the AMS Laboratory at the University of Arizona and the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art Oxford Uni-versity which are reported in Table 13 and Figure 1338

8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks

NVAP OBJECT FORMAT
1 DAYMOnthYeaR of filling out the Object Form2 INITIALS of the consulting specialist(s) and last of all the recorder for survey finds use team member
numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

numbers instead of initials if assigned3 Excavation UNIT if survey find enter 04 If survey find give SITE if not from a site use Area Sector Tract numbers prefixed with 9 and Area number
in Arabic numerals (eg I-45 = 9145 [enter tract number under 14 LOC])5 If excavation find give STRATigraphic UNIT number if found in more than one SU give lowest SU number6 MATERIAL General
1 Boneivory2 Clay3 Glassfaience4 Shell5 Metal6 Organic (charcoal wood and seeds)7 Plaster8 Stone9 Other and mixed material
7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
14 Excavation or survey site plan LOCation number if any for the survey give the sample number prefixed with
0 Other1 Transects (T)2 Grabs (G)3 Tracts (Tr)4 Grids (Gr)5 Site Revisitation (Rv)6 Tract Revistation (Rv)7 Field Grabs (FG)8 Field Middles (FM)9 Subtracts (ST)
Tract number always precedes any subtract or revisitation number on the object tract number is entered here at 14 and subtract or revisitation numbers are entered in 9 If tract number is more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter tract number at 36 If grid coordinates are more than two digits enter prefix followed by zeros at 14 and enter coordinates at 9 and 10

7 SEQUENCE NUMBER arbitrary numbers given sequentially to all finds from the same stratigraphic unit made of the same general material finds may be given numbers for any of the following reasons
8 REASON (list the three principal reasons in a hierarchical order)1 Consists of joins between two or more SUs2 Provides solid reasonably specific date for an SU3 Has real significance for functional interpretation of SU4 Is a certain or suspected import5 Held significant contents when found in situ6 Is located on plan (ie has location number)7 Has significance for paleobotanist (eg plant impressions)8 Cannot be stored in basement without damage9 Is to be considered for inclusion in final study collection for survey find feature sherd or other ob-
jects not certainly identified show to visiting expertsE(X)-N(Y) COORDINATES The lowest and highest coordinates to two decimal places which designate the
area in which the object was found Obviously it is impossible using a coordinate system to list enough co-ordinates to define with precision the potentially amorphous shape of the area in which the object was found Therefore a range will be given to define a rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found
9amp10 The PRIMARY coordinates to be recorded either the lowest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the southwestern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU or in the case of an object located to a single SMU or point its coordi-nates For the survey see explanation under 14
11amp12 The SECONDARY coordinates the highest numbered of the E(X) and N(Y) group at the northeastern corner of the rectangular area that includes the area in which the object was found even if that point falls outside the SU
13 If found in more than one SU give highest SU number and list other SUs in which it was found under 36 Remarks
