NEW BOOKS Palaikastro Block M. The Proto- and Neopalatial Town Carl Knappett & Tim Cunningham City & year: London 2012 Publisher: British School at Athens Series: BSA Supplementary volumes no. 47 Description: Hardback, xvi & 338 p., 2 tables, 180 text figures, 2 pocket plans, 36 half-tone plates, 1 colour plate, 30,2x21,5 cm ISBN: 978-0-904887-65-5 Price: £ 115 (ca. € 142) Aegean Library: 2920 Abstract Block M is a substantial architectural complex comprising three large buildings at the heart of the Minoan town of Palaikastro. With traces of activity stretching back to the Prepalatial period, and occupation in the Protopalatial period, Block M sees its most intensive use in the Neopalatial period, in the 17th century BC. This period sees widespread construction, followed by two severe destruction horizons: the first seismic, the second associated with the Theran eruption, by which time the Block may already have been in ruins. Its subsequent history is very different from that usually encountered elsewhere in the town — it became an open area used only for the dumping of refuse in two abandoned wells, without widespread reoccupation in the LM II—III periods. This volume presents the results of excavations conducted by the British School at Athens, which uncovered these extensive remains in the late 1980s, 1990s and 2003. These investigations have helped to elucidate the character of this important town during the Middle and early Late Bronze Ages, and offer valuable evidence for relations between eastern Crete and sites in the centre of the island such as Knossos.

Choosing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subject in the Eurasian Early-Middle Pleistocene archaeology: the role of geomorphic processes in biasing archaeological distribution patterns of early human presence. This study identifies the current status of the record, explains this status from a geoarchaeological and geomorphological perspective, and prospects its future enrichment. The analysis is carried out on a landscape-scale and it assesses preservation potential in conjunction with archaeological visibility. Finally a conceptual model emerges that can assist in interpreting and/or predicting early Palaeolithic site locations in tectonically active settings, such as those of the Mediterranean Basin.

  • The Distribution of Obsidian in the Eastern Mediterranean As Indication of Early Seafaring Practices in the Area a Thesis B
    The Distribution Of Obsidian In The Eastern Mediterranean As Indication Of Early Seafaring Practices In The Area A Thesis By Niki Chartzoulaki Maritime Archaeology Programme University of Southern Denmark MASTER OF ARTS November 2013 1 Στον Γιώργο 2 Acknowledgments This paper represents the official completion of a circle, I hope successfully, definitely constructively. The writing of a Master Thesis turned out that there is not an easy task at all. Right from the beginning with the effort to find the appropriate topic for your thesis until the completion stage and the time of delivery, you got to manage with multiple issues regarding the integrated presentation of your topic while all the time and until the last minute you are constantly wondering if you handled correctly and whether you should have done this or not to do it the other. So, I hope this Master this to fulfill the requirements of the topic as best as possible. I am grateful to my Supervisor Professor, Thijs Maarleveld who directed me and advised me during the writing of this Master Thesis. His help, his support and his invaluable insight throughout the entire process were valuable parameters for the completion of this paper. I would like to thank my Professor from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikolaos Efstratiou who help me to find this topic and for his general help. Also the Professor of University of Crete, Katerina Kopaka, who she willingly provide me with all of her publications –and those that were not yet have been published- regarding her research in the island of Gavdos.

It is in- tended a) to test the hypothesis that these cultures had an early form of writing, the so-called Danube script; b) to infer the principles of this system of writing; c) to distinguish between bi- and multi-signs texts of the Danube script, without knowing what any of them meant, from compounds of signs associated with other communication codes, among them decoration, symbols, and divinity identi- fiers. The matrix is applied to some recent discoveries selected not from the core area of the Danube civilization in the Vin≠a region, but from peripheral regions, in order to document how widespread the Danube script was.

  • Thinking the Bronze Age: Life and Death in Early Helladic Greece
    ACTA UNIVERITATIS UPSALIENSIS BOREAS. Uppsala Studies in Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Civilizations 29 Erika Weiberg Thinking the Bronze Age Life and Death in Early Helladic Greece Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Geijerssalen, Engel- ska parken. Humanistiskt centrum, Hus 6, Thunbergsvägen 3H, Uppsala, Saturday, February 17, 2007 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Weiberg, E. 2007. Thinking the Bronze Age. Life and Death in Early Helladic Greece. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Boreas. Uppsala Studies in Ancient Mediterranean and Near East- ern Civilizations 29. 404 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-6782-1. This is a study about life and death in prehistory, based on the material remains from the Early Bronze Age on the Greek mainland (c. 3100-2000 BC). It deals with the settings of daily life in the Early Helladic period, and the lives and experiences of people within it. The analyses are based on practices of Early Helladic individuals or groups of people and are context specific, focussing on the interaction between people and their surroundings. I present a picture of the Early Helladic people living their lives, moving through and experi- encing their settlements and their surroundings, actively engaged in the appearance and work- ings of these surroundings. Thus, this is also a book about relationships: how the Early Hella- dic people related to their surroundings, how results of human activity were related to the natural topography, how parts of settlements and spheres of life were related to each other, how material culture was related to its users, to certain activities and events, and how every- thing is related to the archaeological remains on which we base our interpretations.

  • Euboea During the Neolithic Period: a Review of the Evidence
    Euboea during the Neolithic period: A review of the evidence Vagia MASTROGIANNOPOULOU Adamantios SAMPSON Περίληψη Η Εύβοια αποτελεί μια ειδική περίπτωση της Νεολιθικής περιόδου στην Ελλάδα λόγω της γεωγραφικής της θέσης και των αρχαιολογικών καταγραφών που αφορούν σε ολόκληρη τη Νεολιθική περίοδο. Μια αναθεώρηση των καταγραφών σχετικά με τη Νεολιθική περίοδο στην Εύβοια συμβάλλει στη συζήτηση για τη Νεολιθική περίοδο στην Ελλάδα με δύο τρόπους: αποκαλύπτει τις διασυνδέσεις της ηπειρωτικής χώρας με τα νησιά του Αιγαίου και της νότιας με τη βόρεια ηπειρωτική χώρα. Σε αυτό το άρθρο εξετάζονται οι μεθοδολογικοί περιορισμοί της ‘περιφερειακής μελέτης’ και ο διαχωρισμός του ‘Αιγαίου’ με την ‘ηπειρωτική χώρα’ κατά τη Νεολιθική περίοδο. Εντοπίζοντας το χωρικό και χρονικό πλαίσιο της Εύβοιας, είναι επίσης εφικτή μια περιεκτική αναφορά της προϊστορίας της δεδομένων των νέων ανακαλύψεων που έχουν γίνει στο νησί και στην περιφέρειά του. Introduction Recently, research on the Greek Neolithic has gained momentum, with specialists isolating so- cio-cultural regions—such as Thessaly, the Cyclades and southern Greece, and Crete being considered ‘isolated’—or engaging in large-scale syntheses.1 Central Greece is overlooked both in terms of the areas to its north and to its south. Moreover, this regional segmentation has established an even more important distinction—that is, the ‘continental’ and the ‘coastal/ insular’ Neolithic. The main goal of this paper is to incorporate the Neolithic record of Euboea into this framework and also to demonstrate that the aforementioned methodological framework should always be consid- ered tentatively: Euboea is perhaps the most characteristic counter-example, as it belonged both to the Boeotian, hence continental, and the insular Neolithic.
