| Özet: | In this paper I discuss pot burials on the Greek mainland during the Early and Middle Bronze Ages. Burials in pithoi (large storage jars) and smaller jars first occur on the Greek mainland in the EH period and are found throughout the MH period. They seem to have been more popular in some regions than in others. In my discussion, I will focus on the following topics: the contexts in which Greek Bronze Age pithos burials are found and their association with other types of burials; the characteristics of the pithos burials identified on the Greek mainland; possible connections with pot burials found elsewhere in the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean. |
