Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 © 2007 Melissa Suzanne Eaby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MELISSA SUZANNE EABY: Mortuary Variability in Early Iron Age Cretan Burials (Under the direction of Donald C. 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. As part of this study, over 1200 tombs found in the vicinity of 122 modern villages or towns have been catalogued. An examination of the burial methods, architecture, assemblages, dates, and spatial contexts of these tombs and cemeteries provides significant new evidence regarding the extent of cultural diversity present on the island during this period. The funerary evidence clearly indicates that Crete was characterized by extensive regionalism during the Early Iron Age; seven distinct mortuary regions, as well as four transitional or ‘border’ zones, are identified from the funerary material. In addition, a regional examination of the burial practices provides new evidence regarding the changes in political organization and social structure which occurred on the island over the course of the period. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research for this project was funded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (International Center Pre-doctoral Travel Grant, Off-Campus Dissertation Fellowship), Fulbright Graduate Student Award, and the Archaeological Institute of America (Olivia James Traveling Fellowship), and it was carried out primarily at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the INSTAP Study Center for East Crete. Many people have helped me to complete the dissertation. I would like to thank Geraldine Gesell, Leslie Day, Krzysztof Nowicki, Maria Liston, Metaxia Tsipopoulou, Eleni Nodarou, Ioannis Papadatos, and Thomas Brogan for taking the time to answer my questions and talking with me about their material. Donald Haggis and Margaret Mook have been especially supportive and encouraging over the years, offering much needed advice, as well as permission to use the Azoria tomb material. Thanks to Carla Antonaccio, Jodi Magness, Kenneth Sams, and Nicola Terrenato for reading the dissertation. Yuki Furuya is responsible for most of the maps and was invaluable in fixing certain computer ‘issues.’ I would also like to thank the staff of the INSTAP center, especially Eleanor, Doug, Kathy, Etienne, and Michel, as well as friends Gloria Park Hunt and Sheri Pak, for their moral support, and my family for always being there, supporting me no matter what I do, and for putting up with all my crazy traveling. Finally, this work is dedicated to Vangelis Phiorakis who not only provided the inspiration for the topic but also allowed me to drag him all over the island in search of old tombs. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ..............................................................................................................vii LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................................ix ABBREVIATIONS .........................................................................................................xviii Chapter I.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

The study aims to investigate the joint evolution of town-planning structures, in these cities, which are controlled on various scales, from defensive organization to the architectural scale. 1866-1869 During the last great insurgency of the Cretans, which forced the Ottoman government to built fortresses in the most strategic areas, especially in the mountains. The territory of the island has been redesigned in these different moments, through large-scale fortification projects. The construction of flexible cultural networks, involv- ing local communities, enterprises and tourism, is proposed. 1 Three different defensive networks thin 13 –19th C.

Giannakaki Agrokipio, 73100 Chania Tel: +30281083434, Fax: +302821093963, Email: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Oliviculture has always been connected to the history of Crete and apparently dates back as far as 8.000 years. It is connected to the tradition, religion, art as well as the social and economic life of the inhabitants ever since civilization started leaving its mark on the island. Today, olive orchards constitute one of the most dominant elements in the natural environment of the island, covering 65% of the farming land, and offer employment to almost the majority of its farming families. Oliviculture together with tourism make up two of the most important economic resources in Crete. It offers a significant income to the island and constitutes an interesting and cherished activity to a large part of its inhabitants. The aim of this study was to identify the problems, to come up with ways to take advantage of new possibilities-opportunities and to apply modern proposals – trends in the field of oliviculture. The main topics of this study are: • Identification and study of oliviculture systems.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

  • Bonelli's Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete
    Crete April 2016 Bonelli’s Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete April 9 - 19, 2016 With Elissa Landre Photo of Chukar by Elissa Landre With a temperate climate, Crete is more pristine than the mainland Greece and has a culture all its own. Crete was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe. In addition to birding, we will explore several famous archeological sites, including Knossos and ancient Phaistos, the most important centers of Minoan times. Crete’s landscape is very special: defined by high mountain ranges, deep valleys, fertile plateaus, and caves (including the mythological birthplace of the ancient Greek god, Zeus) Rivers have cut deep, exceptionally beautiful gorges that create a rich presence of geological wealth and have been explored for their aromatic and medicinal plants since Minoan times. Populations of choughs, Griffon Vultures, Lammergeiers, and swifts nest on the steep cliffs. A fantastic variety of birds and plants are found on Crete: not only its resident bird species, which are numerous and include rare and endangered birds, but also the migrants who stop over on Crete during their journeys to and from Africa and Europe. The isolation of Crete from mainland Europe, Asia, and Africa is reflected in the diversity of habitats, flora, and avifauna. The richness of the surroundings results in an impressive bird species list and often unexpected surprises. For example, last year a Blue- cheeked Bee-eater, usually only seen in northern Africa and the Middle East, was spotted. Join us for this unusual and very special trip.
