Abstract
The Laboratory of Bronze Age Mediterranean Archaeology was established at the Institute of Prehistory in 2008. As a part of its framework a project of excavation in northern Greece has been conducted (Anthemountas Valley Archaeological Project – AVAP), to which two projects granted by the National Science Centre are related. Another research program of the Laboratory concerns the importance of amber in the Mycenaean culture. This has been the issue discussed in the article, and the main categories of archaeological data concerning the amber in Mycenaean world (typology, chronology, dispersion and routes it took to reach from the north) have been presented.
