This volume covers a wide range of topics in Greek archaeology, including site studies, landscape archaeology, and art, emphasizing the depth of Greece's archaeological heritage.

The Journal of Greek Archaeology Volume 7 2022 presents a comprehensive collection of articles that explore the various phases of Greek archaeology, extending from Prehistory to the Postmedieval era. This volume encompasses a wide array of topics, reflecting the rich tapestry of Greece's archaeological heritage. The articles offer insights into individual sites, starting with Michael Boyd's overview of Colin Renfrew’s research project on the prehistoric sanctuary of Dhaskaleio in Keros, alongside Corien Wiersma's update on the Mycenaean palace excavations at Agios Vassilios near Sparta.

In addition to site-specific studies, the journal delves into landscape archaeology, featuring Bernard Knapp's examination of Bronze Age Cyprus and Kostas Sbonias’ analysis of Corfu's coastal economy. The volume also includes Nadia Coutsinas’ research on long-term settlement dynamics in Eastern Crete and Natasha Dakouri-Hild’s high-tech survey at Aphidna in Attica. The journal does not overlook the significance of Greek art and architecture, showcasing Hansgeorg Bankel's redating of the Athena Aphaia temple and Andrew Stewart's investigation into Greek and Roman sculpture.

Moreover, the Journal of Greek Archaeology Volume 7 2022 emphasizes the importance of Medieval and Post-Medieval archaeology, featuring articles on Byzantine and Frankish ceramics. Michael Fotiadis concludes the volume with a critical analysis of the 19th-century debates surrounding the origins of Aegean prehistoric civilization, a theme that continues to resonate in contemporary discussions about Greece's cultural continuity.
