VAIA ECONOMIDOU PhD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS. The main aim of the thesis is the study of Cycladic settlements of the Early Bronze Age. Part of the research refers to the settlements of the Neolithic and Middle Cycladic period, in order to acquire a view of what preceded and what succeeded these settlements. The terminology to which the thesis subscribes follows the tripartite chronological system with its subperiods: EC I, EC II, ECIIIA and EC IIIB for Early Bronze Age; MC early and late for the Middle Bronze Age. These are correlated with the local cultural units (e.g. Pelos-Lakkoudes, Keros-Syros etc). Each settlement is classified according to its chronological period. The structures of each settlement, within the same period, are examined, in terms of house- types which they represent and location within the settlement area. Then the architectural features of the settlements, such as building materials, masonry types, hearths, benches, etc., are analysed as a whole. Problems, such as those of roofs and entrances are discussed. Finally, the available data are examined in relation to urbanization factors, such as fortifications, differentiation of buildings, buildings of special function, settlements density, town structure, craft specialization, interregional trade etc. Comparisons with contemporary settlements of the Aegean region help in establishing relations between these and the Cycladic settlements. They also contribute to our knowledge of the degree of urbanization the Cycladic settlements achieved. After the analysis of each period is completed the conclusions follow. The first section concerns the settlements and the problems involved. The second section refers to the Cyclades in their Aegean context and the third section deals with the development of architecture in the Cyclades in its historical framework. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE List of Figures 4 List of Tables 7 List of Plans 8 List of Plates 9 List of Abbreviations 10 Prologue 11 Acknowledgements 12 Introduction 13 Outline 21 Chapter 1: The Neolithic Background 23 Chapter 2: The Early Cycladic I Period 30 Chapter 3: The Transitional EC I to EC II Phase 42 Chapter 4: The Early Cycladic II Period 55 Chapter 5: The Early Cycladic IIIA Period 90 Chapter 6: The Early Cycladic IIIB Period 151 Chapter 7: The End of the Early Bronze Age and the Middle Bronze Age in the Cyclades 185 Chapter 8: Conclusions 201 Notes 280 Gazetteer of Early Bronze Age Sites 293 Abbreviations 300 Bibliography 301 3 LIST OF FIGURES 1.

    Dear Friends, In the 17th century, the notion began to develop in England and other European countries that knowledge of classical antiquity was essential to a child’s education in order to understand the roots of Western civilization. The need to travel to the lands that gave rise to Western traditions is as strong today as it was 300 years ago. We are pleased to inform you of this program offered by Thalassa Journeys for families to explore the most important ancient centers of Greece, places that have contributed so much to the formation of our civilization. Thalassa Journeys has hosted similar programs for members and friends of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and other prestigious organizations. The tour, solely sponsored and operated by Thalassa Journeys, will provide a joyful learning experience for the entire family – children, parents, and grandparents. Please note: children must be age 5 and above to participate in the programs. The itinerary is designed to enlighten the senses and inflame the imagination of people of all ages and to awaken their minds to the wonders of classical antiquity including the Acropolis and its glorious past. Young explorers and adults will delve into the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilization and the world of Homer. They will discover the citadel of Mycenae, home of Agamemnon. At the magnificent 4th century BC Theater of Epidaurus, families will learn about ancient Greek drama and consider the connections between theatrical performances and healing; in Nemea, one of the four places where in antiquity athletic contests were held, children will compete in mock races in the original ancient stadium.

  • Bronze Age Aegean Harboursides
    J.W. SHAW Bronze Age Aegean Harboursides ABSTRACT R ecent excavations and exploration have contributed new and crucial information warranting a review of our earlier understanding of Bronze Age Aegean harboursides, especially of the topographical conditions and geographical locations selected by the Aegeans. Major sites which can be cited are Kea, Kommos, Zakros, and Amnisos. Further information derives from precious pictorial depictions of coastal towns and possible harbours, as in frescoes found at Kea and, especially, in the West House at Akrotiri, or in the recently published sealing from Chania. The paper will discuss this new material and address questions of defence, ship storage, relations with inland towns, trade, relative water-levels, and the nature of the possible harbour installations during the Middle and Late Bronze Age in the Aegean. Introduction With its often large, well-furnished buildings, the Akrotiri settlement (Fig. 1) appears relatively opulent in comparison with Ayia Irini on Kea (Fig. 2)or more densely built Phylakopi on Milos (Fig. 3). At Akrotiri, of course, there still remain unusual contrasts among the building groups. For instance, the agglutinative room-group B/D, which probably consisted of three or more residences, appears to be sprawling in comparison with the much larger, more carefully planned ashlar buildings, whether one considers the relatively small West House, or Ashlars III and IV which in size and with the care given to their construction compare favourably with the largest of the houses at Ayia Irini (House A) or at Phylakopi (the Mansion) or, for that matter, with large houses in the Knossos area.

  • Cupellation at Kea: Investigating Potential Applications of the Minoan Conical Cup
    Cupellation at Kea: Investigating Potential Applications of the Minoan Conical Cup A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by William Joseph Mastandrea February 2016 © 2016 William Joseph Mastandrea ABSTRACT For several decades, a full understanding of the Minoan Conical cup, its uses, and the social environment in which it was used has remained largely a mystery. Appearing first in the Early Minoan Period (EM; 3100­2100/2050 BCE), the conical cup seems to have been a vessel which was prevalent in the daily life of those living in the Bronze Age Aegean. It is not until the Late Minoan Period (LM; 1700/1675­1075/1050 BCE), that the conical cup production standardizes and vessels are found in large concentrations across the Aegean from Crete, Kea, Kythera, and Melos, to Thera, Mainland Greece, and portions of Western Anatolia (Gillis 1990b, 1). Yet over the past thirty years, physical descriptions and discussions of production of the conical cups have outnumbered explanations of their use and influence. Studies of standardization (Davis 1985; Gillis 1990b; Gillis 1990c; Berg 2004; Hilditch 2014), transmission (Gillis 1990a; Gillis 1990c; Knappett 1999) and regional distribution (Wiener 1984; Gillis 1991a; Gillis 1990b; Wiener 2011) are more numerous than those which address questions surrounding ​ ​ their use (Schofield 1990b). ​ This thesis seeks to understand the spatial distribution and application of the handleless cup/conical cup in daily social practices taking place in the context of House A at Ayia Irini, Kea during the Period VI occupation (LM IA, LH I, LC I)1.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project. The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea. A group of artists, architects, writers and theoreti- cians traveled to forty of these often hard to reach islands in search of clues, impar- tially cataloguing information that can be interpreted in multiple ways.

Ternyik, Techno-Logos, Inc. (-1985) https://www.sociostudies.org/authors/ternyik_stephen_i/ Sudden mind changes seem to happen by a rapid transformation of the heart beat frequency. Such a deep psychological moment happened to you, when you visited Donousa island in 1979. You came as developmental and academic bureaucrat from the capital (Athens) and you were a bit over 30 years. What did strike you, the young careerist, so much, in that geo-meta-physical location? Yes, I came as a developmental and academic bureaucrat (Agricultural Bank of Greece, Direction of Studies and Planning) from the capital Athens to report on the small Cyclades-Aegean islands, and I started from Donousa. My turning point in the mind was a scene with the mute coachman driving the mule, as opposed to the limousine, which took us from Brussels airport to the building of the European Commission, called the Berlaymont. This was the period (1976-1979) of Greece’s accession to the EEC (now EU). The population of Donousa was fully isolated from what is called ‘quality of life’ or standard of living. I had no idea on how these people faced their day-to- day problems, especially those related to health. No electricity, no water, no infrastructure, no roads, no official port; it was a boat that brought guests to the island. It then literally clicked in me, and I refused my predetermined career, while all other bank direction members (27) became high profile academics or politicians.

  • Recent Trends in the Archaeology of Bronze Age Greece
    J Archaeol Res (2008) 16:83–161 DOI 10.1007/s10814-007-9018-7 Aegean Prehistory as World Archaeology: Recent Trends in the Archaeology of Bronze Age Greece Thomas F. Tartaron Published online: 20 November 2007 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract This article surveys archaeological work of the last decade on the Greek Bronze Age, part of the broader discipline known as Aegean prehistory. Naturally, the literature is vast, so I focus on a set of topics that may be of general interest to non-Aegeanists: chronology, regional studies, the emergence and organization of archaic states, ritual and religion, and archaeological science. Greek Bronze Age archaeology rarely appears in the comparative archaeological literature; accord- ingly, in this article I place this work in the context of world archaeology, arguing for a reconsideration of the potential of Aegean archaeology to provide enlightening comparative material. Keywords Archaeology Á Greece Á Bronze Age Á Aegean prehistory Introduction The present review updates the article by Bennet and Galaty (1997) in this journal, reporting work published mainly between 1996 and 2006. Whereas they charac- terized trends in all of Greek archaeology, here I focus exclusively on the Bronze Age, roughly 3100–1000 B.C. (Table 1). The geographical scope of this review is more or less the boundaries of the modern state of Greece, rather arbitrarily of course since such boundaries did not exist in the Bronze Age, nor was there a uniform culture across this expanse of space and time. Nevertheless, distinct archaeological cultures flourished on the Greek mainland, on Crete, and on the Aegean Islands (Figs.

  • Mycenaean Seminar List
    THE MYCENAEAN SEMINAR 1954–2017 Olga Krzyszkowska and Andrew Shapland This list gives titles of individual seminars (and related events) with links and references to their publication in BICS. Initially discussions and some summaries were printed in the Seminar minutes, which were privately circulated (only from 21st January 1959 were minutes headed ‘Mycenaean Seminar’). The first published summaries appeared in BICS 13 (1966), soon superseding the minutes. Some seminars/public lectures were published as full-length articles (page references to these are given in bold). Summaries were usually, but not always, published in the subsequent year’s BICS and some never appeared at all. However, from 1993–94 onwards summaries of all Seminars and virtually all public lectures relating to Aegean prehistory held at the Institute were published in BICS. The summaries for 2014–15 were the last to appear in the print edition of BICS, which has now become thematic. The summaries for 2015–16 and 2016–17 are published in an online supplement to BICS available at the Humanities Digital Library. 1953–1954 The first meeting was on 27 January 1954, and there were four subsequent meetings that academic year. Minutes were kept from the second meeting onwards. 1954–55 Papers were given by J. Chadwick, P. B. S. Andrews, R. D. Barnett, O. Gurney, F. Stubbings, L. R. Palmer, T. B. L. Webster and M. Ventris. 1955–56 M. Ventris ‘Pylos Ta series’ S. Piggott ‘Mycenaeans and the West’ R. A. Higgins ‘Archaeological basis for the Ta tablets’ (BICS 3: 39–44) G. L.
