The deposit appears to preserve a complete range of vessels used for and other household personal consumption, serving, cooking, storage, activities, with nearly all diagnostic sherds dating to Late Helladic IIIB1.

The contents of the deposit show clearly that the inhabitants of this same sorts non-elite site employed the of small open and cooking vessels as intended for eating, drinking, and food preparation those used at elite as sites such Mycenae. Quantitative analyses reveal small but significant some differences, however, between the frequencies of pottery types ob served inTsoungiza pit 1 and those from palatial contexts. More specifi were cally, decorated closed vessels and kraters somewhat less abundant in the Tsoungiza rubbish pit than in select deposits atMycenae, presumably reflecting varying patterns in the consumption and display of goods at elite and non-elite sites. Given the high degree of social stratification often posited forMyce naean Greece, in other respects, the generally small differences in the types are and relative quantities of specific ceramic forms striking. For example, the residents of Tsoungiza used kylikes (presumably for wine consumption) to in numbers reasonably comparable those used at palatial sites.Moreover, no or seems within the sample of decorated pottery, motif group of motifs to mark a difference between the vessels used at elite centers and those or as from villages hamlets such Tsoungiza and Korakou. This finding a invites consideration of how group of highly visible and frequently used artifacts may bind rather than differentiate communities at the center and a periphery of polity. The intensive study of the Tsoungiza pit 1 deposit presented here is reasons. important for several First, the chronological consistency of the a material permits the detailed characterization of LH IIIBI assemblage, supplementing and correcting previous stylistic and chronological obser vations about this period.

Finally, the ceramics from this deposit have direct bearing prob lems of Mycenaean social and economic organization. These include not only the issue of ceramic consumption patterns noted above, but also the was question of how pottery production organized inMycenaean polities. The broad similarities observed between assemblages at elite and non-elite sites might have resulted less from the close control, standardization, and a distribution of pots by palace-dominated workshops than from response to consumer by producers general demand for vessels similar to those used at the palaces. 454 PATRICK M.

The earth floor associated with this structure extremely difficult to trace, particularly in the western portion of the trench, but it is evident that wall 6 lay at least several centimeters beneath this floor and was not part of the LH IIIA2/IIIB1 house.2 The connection of these eastern LH IIIA2/IIIB walls with the other western sec walls exposed in the section of EU 2 is far from certain. A large as as was tion of wall 10, possibly running far to the west wall 2, robbed out some at point. It is clear from LH IIB debris running up to wall 3, but not was under it, that this wall belonged to the earlier structure and reused in the later structure.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

  • Crossroads 360 Virtual Tour Script Edited
    Crossroads of Civilization Virtual Tour Script Note: Highlighted text signifies content that is only accessible on the 360 Tour. Welcome to Crossroads of Civilization. We divided this exhibit not by time or culture, but rather by traits that are shared by all civilizations. Watch this video to learn more about the making of Crossroads and its themes. Entrance Crossroads of Civilization: Ancient Worlds of the Near East and Mediterranean Crossroads of Civilization looks at the world's earliest major societies. Beginning more than 5,000 years ago in Egypt and the Near East, the exhibit traces their developments, offshoots, and spread over nearly four millennia. Interactive timelines and a large-scale digital map highlight the ebb and flow of ancient cultures, from Egypt and the earliest Mesopotamian kingdoms of the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, to the vast Persian, Hellenistic, and finally Roman empires, the latter eventually encompassing the entire Mediterranean region. Against this backdrop of momentous historical change, items from the Museum's collections are showcased within broad themes. Popular elements from classic exhibits of former years, such as our Greek hoplite warrior and Egyptian temple model, stand alongside newly created life-size figures, including a recreation of King Tut in his chariot. The latest research on our two Egyptian mummies features forensic reconstructions of the individuals in life. This truly was a "crossroads" of cultural interaction, where Asian, African, and European peoples came together in a massive blending of ideas and technologies.

  • A Mycenaean Ritual Vase from the Temple at Ayia Irini, Keos
    A MYCENAEAN RITUAL VASE FROM THE TEMPLE AT AYIA IRINI, KEOS (PLATE 18) D URING the 1963 excavations of the University of Cincinnatiat Ayia Irini, a number of fragments belonging to a curious and important Mycenaean vase were discovered in the Temple, mostly in Rooms IV and XI where they were found widely scattered in the post-Late Minoan IB earthquake strata.' Since it is impos- sible to date the vase stratigraphically, it is hoped that analysis of its shape and decoration may contribute something to our knowledge of the later history of the Temple in its Mycenaean period. Unfortunately, the vase is so fragmentary and its decoration so unstandardized that this is no simple task. It is the goal of this paper to look critically at the fragments and see what they suggest for the re- construction of the vase, its probable date and affinities, and its function in the Temple. Following two main lines of approach, we will first attempt a reconstruction of the shape and then analyze the pictorial decoration. Both are important in deter- mining date, possible provenience, and function. The fragments fall into three main groups: 1) those coming from the shoulder and upper part of an ovoid closed pot with narrow neck, now made up into two large fragments which do not join but which constitute about one-third the circumference (P1. 18 :a, b, c); 2) at least two fragments from the lower part of a tapering piriform shape (P1. 18 :d, d and e) ; 3) fragments of one or more hollow ring handles (P1.
