Although they primarily comprise evidence for the technical evaluation of a craft (making thread with a spindle), these artifacts will be viewed here through a cultural prism. Focus is on the decorative elements of the objects and on the search for comparable assem- blages from other Bronze Age insular sites. This comparison, attempted on a geo- graphical basis at ‘site level’, reveals both a geographical and a chronological pattern regarding the presence (or the absence) of similarly decorated spindle- whorls. This examination shows that in the advent of the Late Bronze Age, plain, non-decorated forms of these objects are preferred. An interpretation of this ten- dency is attempted, taking into consideration the gradual development of a tex- tile ‘industry’ beyond the household level, which is observed in the Aegean world during the 2nd millennium BC. 1 I would like to thank warmly the Director of the Akrotiri Excavations, Professor emeritus Ch. Doumas, for granting me the permission to study the spindle-whorls from Akrotiri. I would also like to express my warmest thanks to the former Director of the 21st Ephorate for the Cyclades, Dr.

It argues that such evidence literally and metaphorically involves mirrors and maps, and transcribes important parameters of an eloquent cognitive geography, forged from long-established knowledge and empirical wisdom, and relevant to modern scientific insights, including archaeological ones. If systematically investigated and thoroughly deciphered, this may disclose numerous meaningful elements of the insular topoi we study; and thus enrich significantly our efforts to conceive them as ‘total’ natural and cultural geographies – or ‘insularities’ – through time.

I; PLATE I a). It can now be recognized as the largest known settlement site of the period in the Cyclades. Dhaskalio has extensive buildings of laminar stone construction. Amongst these, on the summit of the island, was a substantial structure, some 16.1 m in length, as large as any other known structure of the Cycladic Early Bronze Age (EBA). Work undertaken at Dhaskalio during 2007 was reviewed in the first preliminary report (Renfrew et al. 2007c, 128-31). It was then established that Dhaskalio was the site of a major settlement of EBA date, with the small church at its summit as the only significant indication of more recent activity, as the earlier work of Doumas (1964) had already suggested. The investigation of the Special Deposit South lying opposite, at Dhaskalio Kavos on Keros, was the major undertaking for the 2006 field season, the first of the Cambridge Keros Project.

  • The Cyclades' Circle
    DESTINATION FOCUS THE CYCLADES’ CIRCLE The four beautiful islands of Milos, Sifnos, Ios and Paros in the Cyclades have a lot in common yet each hold a different appeal for visitors. The 220 islands that make up the Cyclades played their part in Western civilisation and photojournalist Aline Dobbie offers a personal account of her recent visit to the Aegean to discover why they have such an enduring appeal today. Greece… it’s oh so much more than just sangria and sunshine! Greece I first visited 50 years ago; this was, however, my first time in the Cyclades and it was pure enchantment. A quick visit to the Acropolis in Athens was essential and then we embarked on a Speedrunner ferry to take us to our first stop, Milos. Milos is known as the Island of Venus or Aphrodite whose statue was discovered in 1823 and sold to the French. This volcanic island emerged from the Aegean Sea around two million years ago and is a spectacular place with its amazing multi-coloured beaches. In the Mesolithic period the mineral obsidian was traded widely for tool-making. The island is covered with herbs and beautiful creepers, oleander, bougainvillea, roses and stunning pelargoniums in vibrant colours. In late May the whole island is ablaze with colour against the iconic blue and white Cycladic architecture. The resident population is 5,000 and Milos provides a warm welcome with authentic Greek cuisine and a whole host of lovely places to stay. Adamas is the port with a magnificent bay having once been the crater of the volcano that made Milos.

The aim of this study is to collect and re-evaluate the available information, in order to provide a basis for the study of these bone tubes, based on a review of the existing literature. In total, 104 bone tubes have been included in this study, of which 99 come from modern Greece and 5 from Turkey. They principally occur during different phases of the Early Bronze Age II. The archaeological evidence illustrates considerable differences among the bone tubes from the islands and the continental sites. Of all bone tubes, 31.5% were found on the mainland and 63% on the islands; 5.5% are of unknown provenance. On mainland sites, 91% of the tubes were found in settlements, 3% from graves and the rest from unknown context, whereas on islands 78% were unearthed from cemeteries and 11% from residential contexts and further 11% from unknown provenance or context.
