Cyprus and the LBA/EIA Metallurgy on Thasos Dr Petya Ilieva
Cyprus and the LBA/EIA metallurgy on Thasos Dr Petya Ilieva Bulgarian Academy of Sciences The Northern Aegean is rarely considered in discussions of the LBA – EIA patterns of interaction between the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean and if so, it is usually mentioned in the context of the Phoenician pursuit of metals. The still very limited amount of objects of Cypriot and Levantine origin or associations and their patchy distribution in the Northern Aegean record restricts the feasibility of a systematic approach and renders any conclusion preliminary. Considering the strong ties between Cyprus and metropolitan Phoenicia, including the establishment of Kition on the island, the contemporary advance and sometimes shared context of Cypriot and Phoenician artefacts in the Northern Aegean, as well as the nature of the expanding Late Geometric and Archaic sea-borne commercial networks linking the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, it seems very likely that some (if not most) Levantine materials reached the Northern Aegean via or from Cyprus itself. Cypriot and Phoenician finds from the area attest to increased overseas contacts, usually interpreted in light of the Euboean activities in the Northwestern corner of the Aegean. Nevertheless, the archaeological record indicates that Euboean merchants and settlers did not venture east of Chalkidice peninsula, while written testimonies and scattered finds suggest that the role played by Cypriots and Phoenicians in the central and eastern part of the Northern Aegean is still underestimated. Cyprus and the LBA/EIA metallurgy on Thasos Hdt. 6.47 famously discusses a Phoenician establishment led by the eponymous Thasos on the homonymous island predating that of the Parian settlers.

Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism's Mediterranean Tour Of
Bringing the Empire Home: Italian Fascism’s Mediterranean Tour of Rhodes Valerie McGuire In 1926, the acting administrative governor of the Italian Aegean islands crossed the threshold of a newly restored castle of Rhodes. A photograph of Mario Lago dressed in the garb of a medieval knight appeared on the cover of the March issue of the popular culture magazine L’illustrazione italiana.1 A local reporter for the Italian administration described the event as a “superb re-evocation of other times.”2 However, the governor’s masquerade as a Christian knight was clearly not meant to invoke the island’s past so much as its future, as a celebrated destination within the Italian overseas empire. Since the Italian capture of Rhodes during the 1911–12 war for Libya, the local administration had invested heavily into restoration projects on the island. Rhodes was not only a famous location from antiquity but was also a storied location of the medieval Mediterranean, when the Knights of St. John had occupied the island for two hundred years while attempting to re-conquer Jerusalem during the fourth crusade. The Italian state’s goals were twofold. On the one hand, it maintained that establishing a popular destination for resort tourism and well-to-do Italian and European travelers could help to offset the financial costs of the colonial project to “regenerate” the entire Aegean archipelago.3 On the other hand— and more importantly—by reconstructing and celebrating the island’s distant Mediterranean past, the Italian state imagined that its own history of diaspora, exploration, and maritime expansion in the Mediterranean could become the premise for a new empire in the East.

ARCL 0066: the Emergence of Bronze Age Aegean States
UCL INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY ARCL 0066: The Emergence of Bronze Age Aegean States 2019-2020 - Term 2 Undergraduate Year 2-3 option, 15 credits Coursework deadlines: Monday 21st February 2020, Monday 3rd April 2020 (TBC) Co-ordinator: Dr. Borja Legarra Herrero [email protected], Room 106 1 1. OVERVIEW Short Description This course provides a survey of Aegean prehistory from The Neolithic until c. 1500-1400 BC. It focuses on the origins of complex societies during the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC and the dynamics of the Minoan palatial societies that followed. It provides a broadly chronologically overview of the region’s long-term transformations and the remarkably rich data (material, iconographic and archival) on which interpretations are based. It encourages a thematic treatment, within a theoretically informed, problem-oriented framework, of major processes including: state formation, elaboration and collapse; production, trade and consumption in and beyond the Aegean; archaeologies of cult and death; the interpretation of symbols and images; and the place of the prehistoric Aegean within the wider Mediterranean and Near Eastern world. The course equally emphasises the need to understand how interpretations and data collection strategies have developed, and the impact this has had on accounts of Aegean prehistory. Week-by-week summary (lectures are Monday, 10-12.00, in Room 410). Date Session Topic 13 Jan. 1 Introduction: Aegean space, time and environments. 2 Is ‘Minoan’ the right word?

Modern Greek Dialects
<LINK "tru-n*">"tru-r22">"tru-r14"> <TARGET "tru" DOCINFO AUTHOR "Peter Trudgill"TITLE "Modern Greek dialects"SUBJECT "JGL, Volume 4"KEYWORDS "Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography"SIZE HEIGHT "220"WIDTH "150"VOFFSET "4"> Modern Greek dialects A preliminary classification* Peter Trudgill Fribourg University Although there are many works on individual Modern Greek dialects, there are very few overall descriptions, classifications, or cartographical represen- tations of Greek dialects available in the literature. This paper discusses some possible reasons for these lacunae, having to do with dialect methodology, and Greek history and geography. It then moves on to employ the work of Kontossopoulos and Newton in an attempt to arrive at a more detailed classification of Greek dialects than has hitherto been attempted, using a small number of phonological criteria, and to provide a map, based on this classification, of the overall geographical configuration of Greek dialects. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, dialectology, traditional dialects, dialect cartography 1. Introduction Tzitzilis (2000, 2001) divides the history of the study of Greek dialects into three chronological phases. First, there was work on individual dialects with a historical linguistic orientation focussing mainly on phonological features. (We can note that some of this early work, such as that by Psicharis and Hadzidakis, was from time to time coloured by linguistic-ideological preferences related to the diglossic situation.) The second period saw the development of structural dialectology focussing not only on phonology but also on the lexicon. Thirdly, he cites the move into generative dialectology signalled by Newton’s pioneering book (1972). As also pointed out by Sifianou (Forthcoming), however, Tzitzilis indicates that there has been very little research on social variation (Sella 1994 is essentially a discussion of registers and argots only), or on syntax, and no linguistic atlases at all except for the one produced for Crete by Kontossopoulos (1988).

Ancient Greece Geography
Ancient Greece Geography The ancient civilization of Greece was located in southeastern Europe along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The geography of the region helped to shape the government and culture of the Ancient Greeks. Geographical formations including mountains, seas, and islands formed natural barriers between the Greek city-states and forced the Greeks to settle along the coast. Map of Modern Greece Aegean Sea The region of the Mediterranean where the Greeks first settled is called the Aegean Sea. Greek city-states formed all along the Aegean coastline and on the many islands in the Aegean Sea. The people of Greece used the Aegean to travel from city to city. The Aegean also provided fish for the people to eat. Mountains The land of Greece is full of mountains. Around 80% of the Greek mainland is mountainous. This made it difficult to make long journeys by land. The mountains also formed natural barriers between the major city- states. The tallest mountain in Greece is Mount Olympus. The Ancient Greeks believed that their gods (the Twelve Olympians) lived at the top of Mount Olympus. Islands The Aegean Sea is home to over 1000 islands. The Greeks settled on many of these islands including Crete (the largest of the islands), Rhodes, Chios, and Delos. Climate The climate in Ancient Greece generally featured hot summers and mild winters. Because it was so hot, most people wore lightweight clothing throughout most of the year. They would put on a cloak or wrap during the colder days of the winter months. Regions of Ancient Greece The mountains and seas of Ancient Greece formed several natural regions: ● Peloponnese - The Peloponnese is a large peninsula located at the southern tip of the Greek mainland.
