gems, glyptic, engraved gems, agate, cameo, intaglio, CMS, Corpus of Minoan and Mycenaean Seals
The Corpus of Minoan and Mycenaean Seals (CMS) has been published exclusively in a printed version since being established in 1958. The project’s aim is the scholarly publication of every preserved seal and clay cast from the Aegean Bronze Age. Most of the Corpus should be digitized, updated and available on the internet for free before the project ends in 2011. The project was conducted in cooperation with the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz and the Academic Workplace Corpus of Minonan and Mycenaean Seals" in Marburg under the scientific supervision of the Commission for Archaeology of the Mainz Academy. The second CMS volume about the Heraklion Archeological Museum’s collection presents seals of the Cretan Old Palace Period that had been uncovered until the early 1970s from reliable or unknown features. The ensemble from the seal workshop of Malia, which comprises 100 seals in different states of their processing, holds a prominent position in this volume."
