The collective volume "ΜΥΡΡΙΝΗ" ("myrtle"; μυρρίνη or μυρσίνη in ancient Greek, μυρτιά in modern Greek) honours Aikaterini Papaefthymiou-Papanthimou, Professor Emerita of Prehistoric Archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, whose long and distinguished career encompassed groundbreaking excavations, wide-ranging research, and inspiring teaching and mentoring. Twenty-six contributions by colleagues and former students pay tribute to the honoree's scholarship and legacy. The studies cover a broad chronological and geographical spectrum, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age in Macedonia, Thessaly, the Peloponnese, Crete, and Anatolia. Topics range from settlement and funerary archaeology to subsistence, technology and craft, dress and bodily adornment, iconography, symbolism, figurine studies, and gender issues.
