The South-eastern Aegean Keywords: South-eastern Aegean, Rhodes, Kos, burials, graves, pottery, sanctuary, cremation, inhumation, past Introduction The area of the South-eastern Aegean is defined here as the region known today as the Dodecanese and parts of Anatolia on the opposite coast, like the Halicarnassos peninsula. This area of the Aegean had been under the Minoan cultural influence from as early as the Middle Bronze Age in terms of its material culture and architecture (Georgiadis 2003). The South-eastern Aegean has yielded many remains of the LH III and the EIA, whilst it possesses a strategic position in the Aegean Sea in relation to its contacts and interactions with the Eastern Mediterranean. The traditional forms of explanation for culturalACCEPTAT development and change in this region have focused on migration and the presence of newcomers. In fact, this has been a common denominator in the understanding of the Southern-eastern Aegean equally for the Late Helladic III period and the Early Iron Age. The thorough and up-to-date presentation of the different cultural aspects and periods from this area will demonstrate the regional character and the idiosyncrasies that are visible already from the LH III phase. The rich local cultural assemblages provide the basis for assessing the shared and divergent cultural elements on a regional level. Thus, the role of the local population can be highlighted through their practices and preferences, identifiable in the archaeological record through an idiosyncratic flair. Furthermore, the available data from this area allow a better understanding of how these communities responded to the various social, economic and political challenges the LH III and EIA phases posed. In this context, the character of cultural influence from outsideMANUSCRIT this region can be viewed and understood. At the same time the active participation of the South-eastern Aegean within the exchange networks that were developed in the Aegean and the broader Eastern Mediterranean during the LH III and EIA will be presented and assessed. 1 The LH IIIA-B period (14th and 13th centuries BC) The LH III period is well-represented mainly through the numerous tombs and cemeteries found across this region. The first chamber tombs appeared in the South-eastern Aegean during the LH IIB and IIIA1 phase, following the shapes and the burial practices attested in mainland Greece (Mee 1982; Benzi 1992; Georgiadis 2003). The importance of the new tradition marked two changes in the local cultural practices. The first was spatial in the sense that the earliest cemeteries i.e. Ialysos in Rhodes and Eleona and Langada in Kos were founded in new burial locations not used before. This practice appears to suggest a break with the past and the establishment of a new burial tradition, which is recovered in all Mycenaean cemeteries of this region. The second was the form of the tomb; multiple rather than single as in the previous periods. The emphasis in this new period was on the family and kin group rather than the achievements of the individual during their lifetime. This aspect meant that there was a radical reshuffling of the socio-political order of each settlement, as seen from the progressive adoption of the new burial style in the whole region. The explanation offered for these new cultural elements had been that newcomers from the Greek mainland, the Argolid in particular, brought the Mycenaean culture to this ACCEPTATregion when the earliest chamber tombs appeared in the LH IIB/IIIA1 phase (Georgiadis 2003, 68, 73). However, the same hypothesis has been proposed for the appearance of chamber and tholos tombs in the Cyclades, Crete and the South-eastern Aegean in the same period. This would rely on an influx of people from a single mainland region, which is not supported by the available evidence. Thus, it is more pertinent to propose that there was an important cultural influence from the Greek mainland rather than the migration of people out of the Argolid into the rest of the Aegean islands in order to explain the appearance of the chamber tombs. This hypothesis can be supported in the case of the South-eastern Aegean by the development of distinct local characteristics that the Mycenaean elements had in this region (Georgiadis 2003). The new burial practices are found across the South-Eastern Aegean by the LH IIIA2, from which period numerous cemeteries have been identified in Karpathos, Rhodes, Kos, Astypalaia,MANUSCRIT Kalymnos, as well as the site of Müskebi on the Anatolian coast opposite Kos (Mee 1982; Dietz 1984; Melas 1985; Benzi 1992; Özgünel 1996; Karantzali 2001; Georgiadis 2003). The number of cemeteries, tombs and offerings within allow a better assessment of each island and the region as a whole. Already in this period a local idiosyncrasy can be recognised in the burial practices and a new tradition was formed (Georgiadis 2003). The tombs within a cemetery had the same orientation, looking towards 2 specific landscape elements. In Rhodes, it was the valley and a close by stream, while in Kos, towards the valley and the sea. This suggests different types of symbolism; for Rhodes a protection and fertility of the arable land of the valley nourished by water brought from streams, for Kos the fertility of the land and perhaps protection from the sea (Georgiadis 2003, 47-48). Their symbolic significance is related to the burial rituals and beliefs that elevated the status of the deceased to an anonymous guardian ancestor (Georgiadis 2003, 107). Symbolically the ancestor would be reactivated since he or she could protect and fertilise the land of his descendants/kin members or of the whole community. This was achieved through the regular and widespread practice of the secondary burial, which predominates in all cemeteries with the exception of Ialysos, and was more commonly attested than in the Greek mainland (Georgiadis 2003, 79-80). There are several objects deposited in the tombs that strongly suggest social differentiation within the local society. This was expressed through the deposition of weapons, metal jewellery, metal vessels, semi-precious stones, exotica from Syria-Palestine and Egypt, and items of lesser value such as tinned ceramics. The mortuary context was a multilevel arena of symbolism underlining the individual, their wealth, which also reflected on their family/kin group during the burial and a shortACCEPTAT period after. However, in a later phase the deceased ritually became an anonymous ancestor protecting the whole community and to whom the claims of land and belonging could be arbitrated on behalf of their family/kin group. There are a few cases (the two tholos tombs in Kos and the shaft and cist graves at Ialysos) that structural differentiation in tomb types may also have been used as status indicators for the deceased within. In the case of the tholoi, the family/kin group was also highlighted, whilst in single graves individuality and personal achievements were emphasised. The same picture can be seen in the LH IIIB period except there is a divergence in the islands of this area. In Rhodes there is a general decrease in the number of cemeteries as well as the active tombs and internments within. This decline is followed by the deposition of lesser quality objects to accompany the deceased to the underworld. In Kos there is a quite differentMANUSCRIT image, with a steady increase of tombs, burials, and their offerings. The lack of uniformity in the South-eastern Aegean argues for diverse social, economic and possibly political conditions among these islands. A special reference should be made to the appearance of cremations within chamber tombs during this period. They are very few in number and their contexts are not always clear, but the earliest seem to appear in the LH 3 IIIA2 phase in Karpathos. Perhaps this is the first part of the Mycenaean world that adopted this tradition, possibly an influence from Anatolian practices (Georgiadis 2003, 60). Most of the available settlement evidence comes from excavations conducted at the two largest sites of this region, which appear to be the social, economic and political capitals of Rhodes and Kos respectively. The first is at Trianda in Rhodes, which yielded mainly sherds of LH IIIA and B phases as well as a number of unconnected walls belonging to this period (Mee 1982; Benzi 1988; Karantzali 2003, 514-5; 2005, 143). Unfortunately, erosion processes in this area aided by possible flooding event(s) have largely destroyed most of the Mycenaean strata of the settlement (Karantzali 2003, 515-6; 2005, 142-3), in contrast to the better preserved lower ones that belonged to the Minoan period. The second is Serrayia in Kos where the whole LH III pottery sequence has been recovered at the settlement (Morricone 1972-3). The almost unbroken re-building of this part of the settlement in later phases has not allowed a good understanding of individual buildings or the detailed stratigraphy of the whole site. The presence of a fortification wall of Mycenaean period has been identified in the north-western edge of Serrayia, protecting the settlement (Skerlou 2001-4a, 298-9). The same trend can be seen in the contemporary walls erected in some of the Cycladic islands.

Later opportunity arose 2 to make the drawings, full size with a Maco Template,3but their study was unfortunately delayed.4 The material is presented now as a supple- ment to the original volume. Considerations of printing have, however, made advisable certain changes in form as well as format, but it is hoped that this article may be used with the earlier publication without inconvenience, for the material in the two belongs together. It has not been possible to print all the profiles full size as in the original study, but Figure 1 is retained at full scale. It should be noted, then, in making comparison, that all the other profiles here presented, in Figures 2 through 8, are shown at one-half size. Information and comment regarding each profile, formerly presented in tabular form, is here put into catalogue form. All the same information given previously is included except the proportions. These were published originally as part of the proof of the chronological development noted in each type. Since the general lines of development appear now to have become established, it has not been considered essential to record the proportions.

Introduction In the last few years the need of rational management of the aqueus potential and of new water resources exploration in Rhodes island has become necessary because of: - the continuous growth of island's permanent population, - the huge development of tourism, and - the continuous increase in water needs per habitant. The problem of water supply has become particularly acute during the last two years which has been characterised as dry. According to 1987 estimates the total annual consumption in water has risen to 30 Mm3. It should be noted that a great part of the total water quantity (approx. 67% to 70%) is consumed mainly for water-supply and irrigation purposes at the northern part of the island, where development and economic activities are most intensive (triangle between Rhodes city - Fanes - Kolimpia). The use of the total annual water consumption is 17 Mm3 for water-supply and 13 Mm3/year for irrigation. Part of the consumption is also used to cover the needs of nearby islands which belong to its district i.e.

    PETER FRASER Photograph: B. J. Harris, Oxford Peter Marshall Fraser 1918–2007 THE SUBJECT OF THIS MEMOIR was for many decades one of the two pre- eminent British historians of the Hellenistic age, which began with Alexander the Great. Whereas the other, F. W. Walbank (1909–2008),1 concentrated on the main literary source for the period, the Greek histor- ian Polybius, Fraser’s main expertise was epigraphic. They both lived to ripe and productive old ages, and both were Fellows of this Academy for an exceptionally long time, both having been elected aged 42 (Walbank was FBA from 1951 to 2008, Fraser from 1960 to 2007). Peter Fraser was a tough, remarkably good-looking man of middle height, with jet-black hair which turned a distinguished white in his 60s, but never disappeared altogether. When he was 77, a Times Higher Education Supplement profile of theLexicon of Greek Personal Names (for which see below, p. 179) described him as ‘a dashing silver-haired don’. He was attract ive to women even at a fairly advanced age and when slightly stout; in youth far more so. The attraction was not merely physical. He was exceptionally charming and amusing company when not in a foul mood, as he not infrequently was. He had led a far more varied and exciting life than most academics, and had a good range of anecdotes, which he told well. He could be kind and generous, but liked to disguise it with gruffness. He could also be cruel. He was, in fact, a bundle of contradictions, and we shall return to this at the end.

  • Ialysos in the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean
    Lorraine Weis Ialysos in the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean Introduction Reconstructing the civilizations and interactions of the Late Bronze Age Aegean is a complex problem. The chronology for this region is largely described by trends in Mycenaean pottery, and trade of such objects allows the archaeological find to be correlated to those of other regions such as Egypt and Anatolia with varying strength, since Mycenaean pottery was widely distributed through the Mediterranean. This substantial propagation of both Mycenaean objects and styles indicates regular trade from the center of Mycenaean palatial civilization during the Late Bronze Age. However, quantifying trade from archaeological remains is a difficult prospect. Not only may artifacts be sparse, but objects may be traded multiple times, stockpiled, or copied so that it is difficult to attach them to interactions between particular cultures in a given time period. Despite these difficulties, reconstructing trade relationships is helpful in understanding economic and political structures in a civilization as they change over time. The island of Rhodes is a particularly interesting site for evidence of Mycenaean trade. As the largest island of the Dodecanese, it sits at the southwest corner of Anatolia, at the edge of the Aegean. Ialysos, a large settlement on the northern point of Rhodes, is a natural port for trade between mainland Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. The Late Bronze remains there show connections with Minoan Crete, Mycenaean Greece, Anatolia, and Cyprus in various time periods, indicative of Ialysos’s significant role in trade over a fairly wide geographical area and long timescale. Remains at Ialysos show stratification, which allows the development of a chronology for the remains with respect to other regions.
