Dating the End of the Greek Bronze Age: A Robust Radiocarbon-Based Chronology from Assiros Toumba, with Thomas Higham and Bernd Kromer, http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0106672, September 2014.

Assiros Toumba in the 8th and 7th centuries BC: The apsidal structures of Phase 1 and their function (on-line publication with Diana Wardle) 2012, in Μελέτες για την Αρχαία Μακεδονία, Προς τη γένεση των πόλεων, ed D.Grammenos, Αρχαία Ελληνική Γλώσσα και Γραμματεία

(NB the manuscript for this publication was submitted before the latest 14C determinations on animal bones from every level at Assiros, determinations which suggest that our 'conventional' date for Phase 1, like those for all other levels, needs to be revised at least 100 years back in time. The information about the structures, the finds and the possible function of these buildings remains unaltered).
