The Aegean Section carries out researches connected with Cyprus, Greece and Italy. Cyprus is studied through a research on the beginning of the hellenization and an archaeological survey aimed at investigating the Bronze Age of the Pyrgos valley and its graveyards. Researches concerning Southern Italy focus on the connections between Italy and Aegean in the Bronze Age on the transition between Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age in central-southern Sicily and on the Aegean archaeological materials found in Italy. Furthermore is being organized a geographical- archaeological data bank of the Italian sites with Mycenaean material.
Philological researches use both Mycenaean and later literary sources.
