Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The theoretical objective of this thesis is of a synthetic nature, for it makes an effort to build up a picture of human activity on the islands concerned, that is their social, economic and cultural evolution in Pre­ historic times. However, the method followed is largely analytical, since archaeological data are combined with results from other disciplines in order to reconstruct the Prehistory of these islands, no matter how incomplete and unambitious this may be. A total of 71 Prehistoric sites have been identified so far. Most of them are on elevated locations near the coast and date from Middle Minoan III to Late Minoan I. Late and Final Neolithic occupation is also represented by numerous sites, whereas the scantiness of Early Bronze Age sites may be attributed to the deficiency of surface investigation and lack of strati­ graphy. During Late Minoan/Late Helladic III the number of sites decreases and this implies new factors.then operating. In the Neolithic and Early Bronze periods the primitive inhabitants, who probably came from Anatolia, were pursuing a peaceful life based on a self-sufficient economy, which involved both food-appropriation and food- production (mixed farming). External relations are documented by Melian and Yali obsidian, and by parallel pottery forms. During the following Middle Minoan and Late Minoan I periods the Minoan colonization brought about different settlement patterns, social changes and wealth. After the Thera eruption, c. 1500, which probably had a disastrous effect, there is a radical change in the occupation patterns and new developments are reflected in the archaeological record: choice b defensible sites, decrease in the number of settlements, signs of emerging urbanization and settlement hierarchy. The arrival of Mycenaeans seems likely and is corroborated by Mycenaean imports. Yet the culture of the islands remains essentially Minoan to the end of the Bronze Age. Chapter One discusses the natural environment of the islands. In Chapters Two and Three the Prehistoric sites and associated finds are described. There follows an analysis and relative chronology of the objects (Chapter Four). In the concluding Chapter Five, a historical reconstruction is attempted with an emphasis on Prehistoric economy, religion and foreign contacts, as well as in the historical significance of the successive transformations of settlement patterns.

  • Mobility of Deities? the Territorial and Ideological Expansion of Knossos
    Krzysztof Nowicki Mobility of deities? The territorial and ideological expansion of Knossos during the Proto-Palatial period as evidenced by the peak sanctuaries distribution, development, and decline Abstract This paper proposes a new explanation of the intriguing distribution pattern of peak sanctuaries in Crete during the MM period, and the reasons for their fast expansion in the late Proto-Palatial period, followed by a sudden decline soon afterwards. The working hypothesis presented here is based on my intensive fieldwork carried out during the last decade and is supported by several recently identified sites which shed new light on these problems. At present about 40 sites in Crete can be classified as peak sanctuaries. They are mostly grouped in three regions: central Crete, the East Siteia peninsula and the Rethymnon isthmus, with a few “anomalous” sites beyond these regions. It is indisputable that the earliest, the most important and the longest-lived peak sanctuary was Iouchtas, closely related to Knossos. Iouchtas became a model-site, the idea of which spread to other parts of the island. Some regions, however, as for example those controlled by Malia and Phaistos, showed strong resistance to it. It will be argued in this paper that the peak sanctuary on Iouchtas did not reflect a universal idea of a mountain deity shared by all Cretans, but rather represented a local Knossian concept of a holy mountain which later became the sanctuary of a young storm-god (?), the protector of Knossos. The distribution of peak sanctuaries may thus represent the territorial and/or ideological expansion of Knossos during the MM IB and MM II periods and not the popularity of a mountain deity in Crete.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).

  • Travel Tips-Greece
    TRAVEL INFO KARPATHOS Karpathos is one of the most beautiful islands of Dodecnese. It is located on the southern side of the Aegean Sea, between Rhodes and Crete. Due to the secluded location and the distance from the other Greek islands, Karpathos island started developing in the last decades. In fact, the southern side of the island has mostly developed in tourism, while the central and the northern side has remained unspoiled and authentic, with picturesque villages away from mass tourism. Karpathos Greece is mostly famous for the exotic beaches with the golden sand and the crystal water. Holidays in Karpathos are ideal for families and trekkers, as the trekking paths that cross the island leads visitors to amazing spots.

  • Emerging Neolithic and Early Cycladic Settlements in Paros: Koukounaries and Sklavouna'
    EMERGING NEOLITHIC AND EARLY CYCLADIC SETTLEMENTS IN PAROS: KOUKOUNARIES AND SKLAVOUNA' ALTHOUGH a central and comparatively large Cycladic island, Paros is still unknown tmitory for the Neolithic. The only published Neolithic site is Kastro at Paroikia, which was excavated in the early 20th century.' Three more sites, Saliagos,s now a separate islet I offthe island's south-west coast, and two sites on Antiparos (Vouni,4 Cave), should not of : come be ignored, as they all belonged to a united island in antiquity, that of 'Greater Par0s9,5including modern Paros, Antiparos, and Despotiko. Still, however, our knowledge :. adthe Neolithic of Paros is very poor, as, apart from the well documented intrit-site analysis I d Sdagos, the big fertile modern island is an empty Neolithic landscape giving no hint of the cultural and economic distribution of Neolithic populations and their site networks : within it. This current image of an empty landscape should not of course be misinterpreted as , evidence for a sparse population in the Neolithic. To a very large degree the phenomenon, : well attested in all the Cyclades, should be the outcome of a lack of systematic research in L amociation with taphonomic factors which did not favour the preservation of the makeshift : Neolithic settlement structures.
