CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JANUARY 2 – 5, 2014 WELCOME TO CHICAGO! Dear AIA Members and Colleagues, Welcome to Chicago for the 115th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America. This year’s meeting combines an exciting program presenting cutting-edge research with the unique opportunity to socialize, network, and relax with thousands of your peers from the US, Canada, and more than 30 foreign countries. Appropriately for an urban venue settled in the 19th century by ethnic Europeans, this year’s meeting will feature several sessions on East European archaeology. And sessions devoted to heritage and preservation and digital methodologies in archaeology touch upon increasingly central concerns in the discipline. Back by popular demand are the undergraduate paper session and the Lightning Session. We are indebted to Trustee Michael L. Galaty and the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee that he chairs for fashioning such a stimulating program. Table of Contents Some of the other highlights of this year’s meeting include: General Information ......4-5 Opening Night Lecture and Reception (Thursday, 6:00–9:00 pm) Program-at-a-Glance 10-11 We kick off the meeting with a public lecture by Dr. Garrett Fagan, Professor of Ancient History at Penn State University. In “How to Stage a Bloodbath: Theatricality and Artificiality at the Roman Arena” Fagan explores Exhibitors .................. 12-13 the theatrical aspects of Roman arena games – the stage sets, equipment of the fighters, etc–that created an artificial landscape in which the violence of the spectacle was staged. Fagan will also consider what these Thursday, January 2 features tell us about Roman attitudes toward the violence of the games, and how spectators reacted to them Day-at-a-Glance ..........14 psychologically (Thursday, 6 pm). -

The specific study has also investigated the correlation of the resulting geomorphometric units with the geological properties of the island, including geological formations and faults. In the latter case, ground prospection methods and macroscopic geological surveys have been applied in order to verify the results of this correlation. Key-Words: - Geomorphology, DEM, Remote sensing, geophysical prospection, faults. 1 Introduction cover typologies. The scale of the research was small For a number of decades, the study of the enough to allow such kind of deductions. Still, the geomorphometric properties of the terrain has been the question remains in cases where we have to deal with a subject of research for a number of researchers who much larger scale of investigation. were trying to explore the properties of the terrain and Following a similar line of approach, the current determine if there is a physical meaning in the research tried to cover the whole island of Crete and quantitative analysis of them in terms of the land examined the possible correlation of the geomorphic patterns. -

Abstract: The educational project prepared for students of High School 15-17 years old with the subject of Biodiversity in Minoan Period and Nowadays. It was an interdisciplinary approach of ecological and cultural views of biodiversity. Special educational material was prepared with photos and texts of archaeological excavations and field sampling which was used in real and virtual environment, in α discovery teaching of Natural Sciences and History subjects. Students, in a scientific research project with constructive teachings, followed the procedures by which scientists gather, analyze, synthesize, process and evaluate information of organisms of Crete since 4000 years. Crete is located between the natural limits of three continents, having the unique privilege to host permanently or in migration, distinctive species of these three continents. After having the research questions, teachers collected the educational material, organized the work groups, implemented the didactic intervention in the classroom, had the field sampling of plants, recognized the synchronous local and scientific names of the plants, constructed the botany book, photographed the collected organisms and all the concentrated material was delivered to the team members.

A Survey of the Western Mesara Plain in Crete 195
A SURVEYOF THE WESTERNMESARA PLAIN IN CRETE: PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE 1984, 1986, AND 1987 FIELD SEASONS (PLATES44-55) ]H[HIS ARTICLE is a preliminary report of the regional archaeological survey project focused on the Western Mesara Plain (the modern eparchies of Pyrgio- tissa and Kainourgio) in southern Crete (Fig. 1; P1.44) during 1984, 1986, and 1987.1 A Greek-American synergasia, the project included archaeologists, geologists, botanists, historians, and ethnographers who each season documented (1) a com- plete history of settlement in the region; (2) the interaction of the local inhabitants with the environment through time; and, ultimately, (3) how these factors affected the establishment and subsequent development of a complex society in the region. Two archaeological teams intensively surveyed 22 square kilometers immediately around Phaistos (Fig. 7). In this paper we discuss the research background and methods of the project; the character and extent of the Western Mesara region; its geology, geomorphology, and changing coastal configuration; the modern veg- etation; the history of settlement from the Neolithic period through the present day; Byzantine through Ottoman historical sources and monuments; and aspects of traditional life in the region. lThis project was supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (grant #150-2843A), the Institute for Aegean Prehistory, the National Geographic Society (grants 2659-83, 2833-84, 3108/9-85, and 3529/30-87), and generous contributions from Mrs. Mary Chambers and Dr. and Mrs. Harod Conlon. Work took place under a synergasiapermit from the Greek Ministry of Culture to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1984, 1986, and 1987. -

The Porti-Miamou Project 2015-2016: 2015 Season Preliminary Report
Andonis Vasilakis, Tomas Alusik, Petros Charamis, Matous Semerad, Ladislav Smejda, Eirini Kritikopoulou, Pavla Alusikova Dostalikova The Porti-Miamou project 2015-2016: 2015 Season Preliminary Report Abstract The Porti-Miamou Project is an official archaeological project of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Heraklion. It focuses on the small-scale surface survey and documentation of the immediate vicinity of Porti and Miamou, two prehistoric sites in the Mesara area, south central Crete. This paper presents the preliminary results of the 2015 season, which was focused on the site of Porti, located on the low hillock of Tou Bairami to Papouri between Vasilika Anogia and Kandila. The first aim of the season was to create new up-to-date plans of the Porti tholos tomb (excavated in 1906) and the adjoining area based on the actual state of all architectural remains. The main aim of the season was to carry out an intensive surface survey in the area of 800 x 800 m, centred on the Papouri hillock, for the better understanding of the site, its local context and chronology. The most important finds made during the survey are a small prehistoric burial cave and a small ancient (?) local limestone quarry. Altogether about 12,400 artefacts were recorded, nearly a quarter of them from the Papouri area. Keywords: Porti, Minoan, tholos tomb, cave, quarry, photogrammetry, heritage conservation, geochemistry The aims of the project The Porti-Miamou Project is an official project of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Heraklion, co-directed by Andonis Vasilakis and Tomas Alusik. The Project focuses on the surface documentation and small-scale surface survey of the immediate vicinity of Porti and Miamou, two prehistoric sites in the municipality of Gortyna in the Mesara area, south central Crete (Fig. -

Excavations at Kommos (Crete) During 1979 215
EXCAVATIONSAT KOMMOS(CRETE) DURING 1979 (PLATES53-67) During this fourth season of our excavations at Kommos we completed all major excavation of the Late Minoan (LM) houses on the hilltop as well as the LM house discovered earlier on the hillside. Soundings in the Middle Minoan (MM) levels in both these areas proved to be profitable,especially on the hillside where an intact MM storeroom was found within most informative stratigraphiccontexts. In the Greek sanctuaryto the south two more, relativelylarge altarswere found within the deep sand. West of them we discovereda Greek temple of which the outer walls are destroyed but the interioris intact. Below the floor of the temple is an unusual shrine of Late Geometric/EarlyArchaic date. Further west, along the shore, lies a group of Minoan buildingsof a monumentalcharacter not hitherto encounteredon the Kommos site. E XCAVATION in 19791 (24 June through 24 August) extended within contexts already partiallyexplored as well as within a fairly small area to the south, pres- I The excavation is being carriedout by the University of Toronto and the Royal OntarioMuseum un- der the auspices of the American School of ClassicalStudies at Athens, with the cooperationof the Greek Antiquities Service. Financial support was provided in 1979 by the Social Sciences and Humanities Re- search Council of Canada,formerly the CanadaCouncil (Grants 410-78-0590-X1 [for the excavation] and 410-77-0565-X2 [for the survey]), the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum. The SCM Corporationof New York once again helped with the financing, and we were honored as well by a visit from its president, Mr.
