Continuity and Change: Identity in LM IIIC to Hellenistic East Crete Rebekah Louise Maarschalk Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield September 2011 Abstract Archaeology is in the privileged position of being able to examine identities through the long time periods often called upon by advocates of essentialist identities, such as those working in the modern political sphere, using theory, methodology and evidence developed by scholars. The influence of the contemporary context within which archaeology is practised is clear in the types of identities, particularly ethnic and cultural identities, which have dominated research on this topic, including on Crete where much attention has focused on identities such as the ‘Eteocretans’. I suggest that the archaeological and textual evidence from Crete offers considerable scope for exploring other types of group identity, both in themselves and in intersection with each other, and the ways in which these may have changed and/or continued to be salient through long periods of time. The theoretical and methodological basis of my study posits that one significant way in which group identities are negotiated and communicated is through social practices, and it is therefore possible to access at least some of the group identities that were salient in the past by examining the material and textual residues of past social practices. On this basis, evidence for social practices and the identities established and signified through these practices is examined for East Crete from Late Minoan IIIC to the Hellenistic period (c. 1200 – 67 BC). The results of my study highlight patterns of both continuity and change in group identities, including a move from relatively small community identities to large, formalised polis identities. Cutting across these were a number of other identities, including those associated with religious practices, and informal identities, many not easily visible in the available evidence, such as identities linked to social status, family, kin and lineage groups, gender, age, occupation and cultural/ethnic groupings such as the ‘Eteocretans’. i ii Acknowledgements My first thanks are for my supervisor, John Bennet, who has been an unfailing source of advice, support and intellectual challenge (as well as hard-to-find books and articles) for me throughout my doctoral research. I left every supervision meeting with him feeling enthusiastic about my research, regardless of my feelings towards it going into these meetings. I greatly appreciate his input into the formation and development of the ideas that I present in this thesis, and hope that my writing does justice to his urgings to be more explicit in my reasoning and arguments. I would also like to thank John for giving me permission to reproduce the image in Figure 1.3. My advisor, Jane Rempel, has also provided helpful advice and encouragement, and I am grateful for the perspectives and ways of thinking about different pieces of evidence that she brought to our discussions. The Archaeology Department at the University of Sheffield has been a fantastic place to do this research, and conversations with various members of staff, in particular Peter Day, Paul Halstead and Sue Sherratt, and postgraduate students, particularly Heather Greybehl and Rob Woodward, at different points during the three years I have been here have vastly improved the arguments presented in this thesis. I would not have been able to undertake this doctoral research without the financial support provided by the University of Sheffield Studentship which I have held for the last three years. My thanks also go to the 24th Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities for permission to visit, study and photograph sites in East Crete, and to use the photographs in this thesis. I am grateful to staff at the British School at Athens, particularly Tania Gerousi, for facilitating my applications for this permission. Donald Haggis, Saro Wallace and James Whitley kindly gave me permission to visit and photograph the sites they are currently excavating (Kavousi Azoria, Karfi and Praisos respectively). Following an enjoyable, though brief, period of fieldwork with Saro Wallace at Karfi in 2010, I was sorry that space constraints meant that I had to leave it, the only site I planned to discuss from the Lasithi area, out of this thesis. My research has been aided and improved by discussions with, and/or provision of clarification of published evidence by, Donald Haggis, iii Saro Wallace and James Whitley, as well as Carl Knappett and Krzysztof Nowicki. Donald Haggis also provided me with unpublished work on Kavousi Azoria, which greatly aided my understanding of this site. The images in Figures 4.13, 5.6 and 6.6 are reproduced in this thesis courtesy of the Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and with the kind permission of Donald Haggis (for Figures 4.13 and 6.6) and Barbara Hayden (for Figure 5.6). My family has been a wonderful support to me in so many ways throughout my doctoral research, and I particularly enjoyed the company of my mother and sister whilst visiting a number of sites in Crete. Describing the evidence and explaining why I’ve interpreted in the way I have to my family has been a good challenge, and helped me to better express myself in this thesis. One thing I can’t fully express is my appreciation of the support I’ve received over the last three years from my husband, Jeremy. He has visited sites with me, listened with patience to me talking about East Crete and identity on a weekly, if not daily, basis, challenged my thinking in countless ways and provided a non-archaeological counterpoint to my archaeological focus. I could not have got to this point without him, and dedicate this thesis to him with love. God has been my constant help and strength throughout this research and my life. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” (Psalm 28: 7, RSV). iv Table of Contents List of Tables and Figures page ix Abbreviations xiii Chapter 1 Setting the Scene 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 The Cultural Landscape of Crete 5 1.3 Separating Out East Crete 14 Chapter 2 The Scholarly Context: Identity in Archaeology 2.1 Scope and Structure of this Chapter 21 2.2 Cultural and Ethnic Identities 22 2.3 Sex and Gender Identities 32 2.4 Life-Cycle Identities 36 2.5 Other Identities 38 2.6 Looking Forward 40 Chapter 3 Theory and Methodology 3.1 A General Theory of Identity 42 3.2 Methodological Approach to Finding Identities in the Past 52 3.3 Theoretical Perspectives on Specific Identity Types 54 3.3.1 Ethnic and Cultural Identities 55 3.3.2 Sex and Gender Identities 56 3.3.3 Life-Course Identities 59 3.3.4 Identities of Place 60 3.3.5 (In)equality Identities 61 3.3.6 Other Types of Identities 62 3.4 Moving Beyond Ethnic Identities to Group Identities in Ancient East Crete 63 v Chapter 4 Late Minoan IIIC 4.1 Introduction 64 4.2 The Historical Background: LM II – LM IIIB 64 4.3 Evidence 69 4.3.1 The Palaikastro Region 70 4.3.2 The Praisos Region 76 4.3.3 The Pefki Region 80 4.3.4 The Oreino Area 83 4.3.5 The Kavousi Region 85 4.3.6 The Area near Monastiraki 96 4.3.7 Vasiliki Kefala 98 4.3.8 Vrokastro and Its Hinterland 99 4.3.9 Kritsa Kastello and Northern Lasithi 100 4.4 Discussion 102 4.4.1 Topography, Site Clusters and Burials 102 4.4.2 Religious Practices and Identities 106 4.4.3 Group Commensality and Status Identities 109 4.5 Summary 111 Chapter 5 The Early Iron Age 5.1 Introduction and Background 113 5.2 Evidence 116 5.2.1 Itanos 118 5.2.2 Palaikastro 119 5.2.3 The Praisos Region 120 5.2.4 Sitia 123 5.2.5 The Kavousi Region 123 5.2.6 The Area near Monastiraki 131 5.2.7 The Vrokastro Region 131 5.2.8 Olous and Sta Lenika 136 vi 5.2.9 Lato and North-Eastern Lasithi 137 5.2.10 Dreros 137 5.3 Discussion 139 5.3.1 Territory and Community 140 5.3.2 Religious Practices and Identities 143 5.3.3 Burial Practices 145 5.4 Summary 147 Chapter 6 The Archaic and Classical Periods 6.1 Introduction 149 6.2 Evidence 151 6.2.1 Itanos 152 6.2.2 Palaikastro 156 6.2.3 Praisos 158 6.2.4 The Kavousi Region 166 6.2.5 The Isthmus of Ierapetra 172 6.2.6 Olous and Sta Lenika 174 6.2.7 Lato 175 6.2.8 Dreros 177 6.3 Discussion 180 6.3.1 Place, Buildings and Political Practices 180 6.3.2 Religion and Religious Practices 184 6.3.3 Group Commensality 188 6.3.4 The Eteocretan Identity 189 6.4 Summary 190 Chapter 7 The Hellenistic Period 7.1 Introduction 193 7.2 Evidence 194 7.2.1 Itanos 197 7.2.2 Palaikastro 202 7.2.3 Praisos 204 7.2.4 The Kavousi Region 209 vii 7.2.5 The Isthmus of Ierapetra 210 7.2.6 Hierapytna 211 7.2.7 Olous 215 7.2.8 Sta Lenika 217 7.2.9 Lato 220 7.2.10 Dreros 227 7.3 Discussion 228 7.3.1 Place and Politics 228 7.3.2 Religious Practices and Identities 234 7.3.3 Commensality and Elite Identities 237 7.3.4 The Widening Context and its Influence Over Identities 239

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

  • Mobility of Deities? the Territorial and Ideological Expansion of Knossos
    Krzysztof Nowicki Mobility of deities? The territorial and ideological expansion of Knossos during the Proto-Palatial period as evidenced by the peak sanctuaries distribution, development, and decline Abstract This paper proposes a new explanation of the intriguing distribution pattern of peak sanctuaries in Crete during the MM period, and the reasons for their fast expansion in the late Proto-Palatial period, followed by a sudden decline soon afterwards. The working hypothesis presented here is based on my intensive fieldwork carried out during the last decade and is supported by several recently identified sites which shed new light on these problems. At present about 40 sites in Crete can be classified as peak sanctuaries. They are mostly grouped in three regions: central Crete, the East Siteia peninsula and the Rethymnon isthmus, with a few “anomalous” sites beyond these regions. It is indisputable that the earliest, the most important and the longest-lived peak sanctuary was Iouchtas, closely related to Knossos. Iouchtas became a model-site, the idea of which spread to other parts of the island. Some regions, however, as for example those controlled by Malia and Phaistos, showed strong resistance to it. It will be argued in this paper that the peak sanctuary on Iouchtas did not reflect a universal idea of a mountain deity shared by all Cretans, but rather represented a local Knossian concept of a holy mountain which later became the sanctuary of a young storm-god (?), the protector of Knossos. The distribution of peak sanctuaries may thus represent the territorial and/or ideological expansion of Knossos during the MM IB and MM II periods and not the popularity of a mountain deity in Crete.

  • From Pottery to Politics? Analysis of the Neopalatial Ceramic Assemblage from Cistern 2 at Myrtos-Pyrgos, Crete
    From Pottery to Politics? Analysis of the Neopalatial Ceramic Assemblage from Cistern 2 at Myrtos-Pyrgos, Crete A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) in the Department of Classics of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences 2015 by Emilia Oddo B.A. Università degli Studi di Palermo, 2004 M.A. Katholieke Universiteit von Leuven, 2007 M.A. University of Cincinnati, 2010 Committee Chair: Eleni Hatzaki Jack L. Davis Alan P. Sullivan III Gerald Cadogan ABSTRACT The focus of this dissertation is the analysis of a deposit of Neopalatial (1750- 1490 BC) pottery uncovered within a large cistern (Cistern 2) at the site of Myrtos- Pyrgos, Crete. Excavated by Gerald Cadogan under the aegis of the British School at Athens in the early 1970s on the top of a hill (Pyrgos) near the modern town of Myrtos, Myrtos-Pyrgos is one of the most important and long-lived Bronze Age sites on the southeastern coast of Crete. The study of the Neopalatial pottery from Cistern 2 contributes to two inter- related research fields: pottery studies of Minoan (i.e., Bronze Age) Crete and theories of political reconstructions based on pottery analysis. The presentation of the Neopalatial pottery from Cistern 2 contributes to the knowledge of ceramics and ceramic production in Crete: this dissertation presents in detail the Neopalatial pottery assemblage from Myrtos-Pyrgos, providing stylistic analysis and contextualization within the broader ceramic production of Neopalatial Crete; thus, it also improves the current knowledge of southeastern Crete, an area whose ceramics remain poorly known.

  • Regional Settlement Patterns, Exchange Systems and Sources of Powerin Crete at the End of the Late Bronze Age: Establishing a Connection
    REGIONAL SETTLEMENT PATTERNS, EXCHANGE SYSTEMS AND SOURCES OF POWERIN CRETE AT THE END OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE: ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION by EUSABETTA BORGNA 1. - INTRODUCTION The traditional debate on the end of the Bronze Age and the transition to the Iron Age in Crete has been fuelled in recent years by new contributions adopting new theoretical perspectives and specific fieldwork practices, such as in particular regional surveys '. The purpose of this paper is to integrate certain recent indications with the preliminary results of a research project based on the analysis of the material culture coming from a single Late Bronze Age Cretan site, namely Phaistos in south-central Crete (Borgna 2001; 2003b, with literature). The data to be placed into a broader framework will, hopefully, serve to furnish a pattern for both the regional distribution of the population and the socio-economic relationships among the settlements and districts of Crete at the close of the Late Bronze Age. Some observations emerging from the scholarly dicussion arising out of a specific Cretan perspective, together with an Aegean Mediterranean view, have provided the investigation with theoretical premises and analytical basis. These can be summarized as follows: - In opposition to a generalizing explanation for Dark Age Crete, D. Haggis (1993; 2001; 2002) has reiterated the usefulness of a contextual analysis aiming at focusing on diversified regional realities. Furthermore, he has applied the concept of socio-economic "integration" to cultural frameworks and population layouts which, during the development of Minoan societies and in particular in the Prepalatial period, were unaffetcted by the control of central authorities.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

    Originalveroffentlichung in: Atti del XI Congresso Internazionale di Epigrafia Greca e Latina, Rome 1999, I, 287-300. THE EPIGRAPHY OF HELLENISTIC CRETE THE CRETAN KOINON: NEW AND OLD EVIDENCE ANGELOS CHANIOTIS l. The epigraphy of Hellenistic Crete: The nature of the evidence. If I have chosen to highlight a legal document - an unpublished treaty related to the Cretan Koinon - it is not only because this text is the longests and probably the most important unpublished inscription of Crete, but also because Cretan epigraphy stands out essentially as legal epigraphy. The brief presentation of the new text is incorporated in a more general survey of epigraphic research on Crete'. The epigraphy of Crete can be divided into two periods: The early period (late 8th-late 5th cent.) is characterized by a great number of laws and decrees (ca. 200 texts, most of them fragmented) from only ten cities. In this early period, the number of treaties is extremely small (Staatsvertr., II 147, 148, 203, 216). From the late 5th to the late 4th cent, a negligible number of inscriptions survives - only one treaty (Staatsvertr., II 296) and a handful of laws. The situation changes dramatically around 300, when the laws disappear, with the exception of leges sacrae.
