Summary:	"This study presents the Early Helladic (EH) II ceramic roofing tile fragments from Zygouries, a site excavated by Carl Blegen more than a century ago. It is the first publication of an entire assemblage of EH roof tiles, an oft-neglected find on archaeological sites. Details about the tiles' forms, dimensions, features, and variability are presented first, followed by a production-oriented analysis reconstructing much of the chaine operatoire and complementary volumetric and energetic analyses. The results of these studies allow for the local reception and socio-political implications of Zygouries's ceramic-tiled roof to be explored. The assemblage is then contextualized alongside other EH roofing tile assemblages and the material culture of the period to gain a clearer understanding of the broader cultural significance of such tiled roofs"--
