  • Foundation Rituals and the Culture of Building in Ancient Greece
    FOUNDATION RITUALS AND THE CULTURE OF BUILDING IN ANCIENT GREECE Gloria R. Hunt A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Art. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Donald C. Haggis Reader: Jaroslav Folda Reader: Robin F. Rhodes Reader: G. Kenneth Sams Reader: Mary C. Sturgeon ©2006 Gloria R. Hunt ii ABSTRACT GLORIA R. HUNT: Foundation Rituals and the Culture of Building in Ancient Greece (Under the direction of Donald C. Haggis) This dissertation examines the evidence for foundation rituals in post-Bronze Age Greece while investigating their function and meaning in ancient Greek culture. Foundation rituals are prescribed rites known throughout the ancient Mediterranean that marked the initiation of a buildings’ construction, usually with a combination of prayer, sacrifice, and the burial of foundation deposits containing offerings of various types and/or sacrificial material. These distinctive deposits were ritually interred during the beginning stages of construction, usually within the fabric of the structure itself. The discovery of foundation deposits in association with cult architecture from all over the ancient Greek world and from every historical period attests that foundation rituals were regular features of sacred building. This dissertation presents all published foundation deposits in their archaeological contexts and identifies patterns in placement, method of deposition, type of material deposited, and geographic distribution. Reconstructed from the archaeological evidence, ancient Greek foundation rituals are related to the broader history of foundation rituals in the ancient Mediterranean, especially to the traditions of Egypt and Mesopotamia.

  • Minoan Pre-Palatial Sealstones in Their Economic and Social Context. a Study Based on the New Material from Archanes-Phourni
    Minoan Pre-palatial Sealstones in their economic and social context. A study based on the new material from Archanes-Phourni Vol. 1: Text and Bibliography Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Alexios Karytinos Department of Archaeology and Prehistory Date of submission: 19th of December 1997 Date of acceptance: 1st of October 1994 BEST COpy . , .AVAILABLE TEXT BOUND CLOSE TO THE SPINE IN THE ORIGINAL THESIS To my parents for their courage To Charilena for being the reason of my strength and resilience Abstract Sealstones are one of the most important types of artifacts discovered in the Aegean Bronze Age. Their practical use for recording and administrating purposes, their association with identity, prestige and social status, their possible religious or ritual connotations speak clearly for their importance and value. The fact that they are deposited, among other artifacts in tombs, accompanying their owners, demonstrate this value not only in life but also in death. Especially in the pre-palatial period in Crete a large number of seals have come to light, coming mostly from mixed contexts in the Mesara and Asterousia, in south Crete. The Minoan pre-palatial sealstones from Archanes-Phourni comprise an important corpus of artifacts for many reasons. They come from a site in the North of the island, in contrast to the majority of pre-palatial seals. The excavation and recording techniques used offer the opportunity to study the seals in their context, which is dated with relative certainty. The study of these seals, in comparison with the published ones from the south of the island, may offer significant information about important aspects of life in this period.

  • THE CONTRIBUTION of CULTURE to the SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT of the MUNICIPALITY of HERAKLION DOI: 10.26341/Issn.2241-4002-2019-1A-6
    JOURNAL "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS".................Volume 1a/2019 THE CONTRIBUTION OF CULTURE TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF HERAKLION DOI: 10.26341/issn.2241-4002-2019-1a-6 Stylianos Stratantonakis Economist, Master in Sustainable Development, Harokopio University [email protected] Roido Mitoula Professor, Harokopio University of Athens [email protected] Helen Theodoropoulou Professor, Harokopio University of Athens [email protected] Panagiotis Kaldis Professor University of Western Attica [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this paper is to highlight the brand name of the Municipality of Heraklion through the use of its cultural heritage. As a first step an attempt was made to provide a complete description of the cultural heritage of the Municipality, through the recording of the material and intangible cultural elements. Subsequently an inquiry was made about the economic impacts of cultural tourism in the region and the signs, which are reflected by this type of tourism. In order to achieve these objectives, a bibliographic research was carried out and a questionnaire was distributed to three hundred (300) residents from the Municipality of Heraklion. For the summarization, the classification and the presentation of the primary data, the descriptive statistics methods were used. Specifically, in this paper, the percentages corresponding to the respondents’ answers to each question individually through tables and diagrams are presented, resulting in some conclusions. As it seems the overwhelming majority of the people that took part in inquiry, thinks that The County of Heraklion has a very important cultural heritage. In regard with the direction that the cultural tourism must develop in the region, it is to take place in the organization of cultural events throughout the year, the creation of modern and traditional hospitality facilities, better promotion of the region as a tourist attraction, cultural education programs and the pursuit of attraction of cultural tourism.

Received: 25 April 2013; in revised form: 5 June 2013 / Accepted: 28 June 2013 / Published: 8 July 2013 Abstract: The aim of this study is to present water and wastewater technologies used during the Minoan (ca. 3200–1100 BC) and Etruscan (ca. 800–100 BC) civilizations. The basic technologies considered are: water harvesting and distribution systems, cisterns, groundwater and wells as well as drainage and sewerage systems. Minoan water collection and distribution systems primarily consisted of cisterns and pipes. The Etruscans’ hydro-technology also consisted of cisterns and pipes but was developed for urban areas and included distinctions between public and private water use. The long-term sustainability of Minoan cisterns is evidenced by the fact that this technique is still practiced today in rural areas of Crete. In addition to cisterns, wells have been used in Crete since Neolithic times, and enjoyed wide-spread use during the Etruscan era.
