  • 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.

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.

  • Conical Cups: from Mystery to History
    Conical Cups: From Mystery to History Malcolm H. Wiener ABSTRACT The paper examines the appearance, diffusion, and ensuing massive utilization of conical cups for the information the phenomenon may provide about Minoan culture and history. Among the topics discussed are 1) the origin, sources of inspiration, and distribution of conical cups in the Prepalatial and Protopalatial periods; 2) their diffusion outside the central Cretan zone to the whole of Crete and much of the Aegean world during the course of Middle Minoan III; 3) their multiple uses in Late Minoan I and the informa- tion each may provide with respect to Minoan cult practices, belief systems, and governance; and 4) the significance of the appearance of enormous numbers of conical cups throughout Crete, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, and sites on the Anatolian coast in the context of the pervasive Minoanization of sites in Late Minoan I.

  • The Minoan and Mycenaean Element in Hellenic Life.1 In
    THE MINOAN AND MYCENAEAN ELEMENT IN HELLENIC LIFE.1 IN his concluding Address to this Society our late President remarked that he cared more for the products of the full maturity of the Greek spirit than for its immature struggles, and this preference for fruits over roots is likely to be shared by most classical scholars. The prehistoric civilization of the land which afterwards became Hellas might indeed seem far removed from the central interests of Greek culture, and it was only with considerable hesitation that I accepted, even for a while, the position in which the Society has placed me. Yet I imagine that my presence in this Chair is due to a feeling on its part that what may be called the embryological department has its place among our studies. Therefore I intend to take advantage of my position here to-day to say something in favour of roots, and even of germs. These are the days of origins, and what is true of the higher forms of animal life and functional activities is equally true of many of the vital principles that inspired the mature civilization of Greece—they cannot be adequately studied without constant reference to their anterior stages of evolution. Such knowledge can alone supply the key to the root significance of many later phenomena, especially in the domain of Art and Religion. It alone can indicate the right direction along many paths of classical research. Amidst the labyrinth of conjecture we have here an Ariadne" to supply the clue. And who, indeed, was Ariadne herself but the Great Goddess of Minoan Crete in her Greek adoptive form qualified as the Most Holy ? 'The chasm,' remarks Professor Gardner, 'dividing prehistoric from historic Greece is growing wider and deeper.'2 In some respects perhaps— but, looking at the relations of the two as a whole, I venture to believe that the scientific study of Greek civilization is becoming less and less possible without taking into constant account that of the Minoan and Mycenaean world that went before it.
