Abstract
This work aims to approach the Interface as an Entity on its own, based on closer typological assessment of known bronze finds. The question will touch upon, how much different/unique they are, but also what was their meaning in the wide spectrum of life, and finally what can they can tell us about the Interface itself and its relations to surroundings regions.
An important aspect is also the fact, that whereas in the Lower Interface, most of the finds come from burial contexts, the Upper part did not yield that many cemeteries so far and most finds are known from settlements. The scientific discourse on the Interface has principally moved from the concept of "Minoan" and "Mycenaean" colonies towards more stress placed on the local communities emulating various trends in the Aegean, and actively approaching incoming stimuli.
It will be along the latter trend that the paper will interpret also the evidence of the metal finds in the area.
