Contributors & Collections

Contributors

Apart from the Marburg scholars many contributors from around the world have collaborated as authors in the CMS publications. For these contributors, see here.

The CMS Heidelberg is indebted to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, the Ephorate of Antiquities of Heraklion and the Stratigraphical Museum of Knossos for allowing access to their collections for the work in a CMS volume that is still in preparation.

Several students have also worked at the CMS Projects and the CMS Archive, both in Marburg and Heidelberg either doing practical training or as student assistants.
