This grant will support research and manuscript preparation for the publication of the Mycenaean pottery excavated on the acropolis of the Koukounaries Hill, Paros, Cyclades, Greece. While its terraces and summit have yielded evidence for occupation from the Late Neolithic to the Classical period, the largest and best-preserved structure is a Mycenaean building that covers the plateau on the summit. To date, over 35,000 fine and medium coarse decorated and undecorated Mycenaean sherds have been counted, representing a minimum of 3,100 vessels. Of these, approximately 1,500 specimens have been catalogued and digitally photographed, and all but 150 have been drawn. More than 200 have been mended and restored for display in the Paros Archaeological Museum. The publication project is directed by Robert B. Koehl.
