  • Leading up to Travel...Leading up to Leaving for Greece I Was Already Travel-Weary from a Trip to Pittsburgh. I Spent the Even
    Leading up to Travel.... Leading up to leaving for Greece I was already travel-weary from a trip to Pittsburgh. I spent the evening resting with Tracy, wrapped up in affection. I felt so grateful to have found her and to share such deep love with her. At 3 am I packed, and was ready to pick up Roger at 6 am. We got a ride from my dad, who managed to tell Roger his life story on the way to Harrisburg. My dad followed a parking lot cleaner around the parking lot of Harrisburg Mall, trying to ask where the bus picks people up. The only problem is, a street cleaner has his head out the window looking at the curb. So dad circled the parking lot a couple of times and actually stopped the car and jumped out in front of the cleaner's path in order to ask for directions. I had already told my dad I knew the approximate pick up spot, but he wanted to make sure. Well, Dad found the exact spot and we were happy about it. The Megabus picked us up and took us to DC. I edited photos and requested couches in Europe on the way using bus wifi. When we arrived in DC we got lunch in Union station and took the metro to Reagan airport. Then we flew to JFK and had an excruciating layover. Roger and I were in good spirits. We killed time by people- watching. I saw celebrity look-alikes like Bill Gates (every middle- aged white guy with glasses), Tony Hawk (every 40 year old white male with street style and longish hair) and a woman that looked exactly the way Michael Jackson wished he looked.

Figurines and Figural Applique´s (M. C. Shaw) 7. Faunal Remains and Murex Dye Production (D. Ruscillo) The descriptions and catalogues in Chap. 4.1–4.7 include a variety of materials recovered through 1997 in important stratigraphic contexts within the area of the Minoan civic build- ings. The chapter contents do not include wall or construction plasters (see Chap. 2) or pot- tery (see Chap. 3). They may not include all minor objects found in fills. Since the studies in both parts of Kommos I focused on the finds from all areas through 1985, many of the objects from the civic buildings are discussed therein and are sometimes only mentioned in the present chapter. Also, some of the main studies of find categories (e.g., loomweights, metal- working, and stone tools) are in the two parts of Kommos I, where the objects are well illus- trated. Illustrations here, therefore, have been kept to a minimum. Effort has been made to reference each object to the archaeological context within which it was found, often in the form of citation of the stratigraphy as revealed through stylistic ceramic horizons. Those from post-Minoan contexts (where some may still be Minoan) are usually to be found in Kommos IV, which discusses the Greek Sanctuary.

  • ABSTRACT GALLEN, SEAN FRANCIS. the Development of Topography in Ancient and Active Orogens: Case Studies of Landscape Evolution
    ABSTRACT GALLEN, SEAN FRANCIS. The Development of Topography in Ancient and Active Orogens: Case Studies of Landscape Evolution in the Southern Appalachians, USA and Crete, Greece. (Under the direction of Karl Wegmann). Understanding the development of topography is fundamental to the geosciences. Topography represents the sum of all tectonic and geodynamic processes that force the earth’s surface upward paired with those that act to bring it down. Spatial and temporal changes in topographic relief can modulate the various feedbacks between atmospheric, earth surface and rock exhumation processes, sediment flux, and the magnitude and style of gravity driven natural hazards. Plate tectonics provides the first-order framework necessary to understand how topography is built through the interaction of lithospheric plates. However, density contrasts in the mantle can also influence the elevation of the earth’s surface through dynamic topography, while poorly understood nuances of mountain building at convergent margins complicate drawing direct connections between tectonics and topography. Such linkages are further confounded by non-linearity between rock uplift and erosion, variations in rates of deformation, changes in climate and the properties of bedrock. Great advances in our understanding of the evolution of topography have been achieved, yet numerous questions remain regarding the evolution of topography in ancient and active orogens. This research addresses knowledge gaps in the development of topography through case- studies of landscape evolution in the southern Appalachians Mountains, USA and the forearc overlying the Hellenic subduction zone. Chapter 1 explores the origins of modern topographic relief in the southern Appalachians, where tectonic activity ceased prior to 200 Ma.

Gold Before the Palaces: Crafting Jewelry and Social Identity in Minoan Crete Abstract During the period c. 2000 – 1800 BC, the first civilization was established in urE ope, as illustrated by the development of palace-centered societies in Minoan Crete. However, the extent to which stratified society existed before the second millennium BC is unclear. This study focuses on the development of ranked society in prepalatial Crete, as evidenced by the manufacturing, use, and deposition of gold and silver jewelry. Indications of social stratification are also explored in the material remains of sites where jewelry was recovered. Research objectives include an investigation of where, how, and why new forms of jewelry appeared in Crete and the impact jewelry had on the forging of individual and group identities. Jewelry is evaluated utilizing contextual, formal, technological, and functional analyses. In addition, human agency and instances of individual decision-making are revealed in association with the production and use of these objects. To place prepalatial Minoan jewelry in perspective, a comparison of this material with jewelry recovered from sites in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans is conducted.

  • Map 60 Creta Compiled by J
    Map 60 Creta Compiled by J. Bennet and G. Reger (insets), 1994 Introduction Homer, in the Iliad (2.649), refers to Crete as Κρήτην ἑκατόµπολιν, while at Odyssey 19.174 there are ἐννήκοντα πόληες on the island. Clearly, in early Greek tradition Crete was the island of 100 or 90 cities, and later authors–like Xenion (FGH 460 F2), it would seem–felt obliged to come up with 100 names when discussing Crete’s geography. While it is unlikely that it ever contained that many πόλεις (independent “city-states”), the number of city names attested is certainly large–in Stephanus, for example, nearly eighty. The map seeks to establish the location of all the major cities, that is, those whose independence is indicated by their participation in a treaty or by the minting of coins. Similarly, it seeks to mark other names (both cultural and physical features) attested in literary or epigraphical sources. Even so, some fairly well attested names must remain as Unlocated Toponyms; there are some False Toponyms, too, of places which in all likelihood never existed. In addition to the cultural and physical features to which an ancient name can be attached (many of which have been investigated archaeologically), the map also aims to mark those larger sites attested by archaeology, to which no ancient name can be reliably attributed. As a general rule, very small settlements (especially individual farmsteads) are omitted in order not to overcrowd the map. Two further aspects essential to any study of the island’s topography and settlement are also passed over, because they seem inappropriate to a map at this scale.

  • The Mesara-Type Tombs Are Circular Stone-Built Structures a Number of Which Show Traces of an Original Corbclled 'Tholos' Roof
    A NEW CATALOGUE OF THE MESARA-TYPE TOMBS by Lucy GOODISON and CARLOS GUARlTA 1. WHY A NEW CATALOGUE? The Mesara-type tombs are circular stone-built structures a number of which show traces of an original corbclled 'tholos' roof. They are concentraled in and around the Mesara Plain with some examples in other parts of central Crete and in east Crete (see Figs. 1 and 2). Typical of the Early Minoan period, their building has been dated Subneolithic-Middle Minoan Il, and some were used or re-used into the Late Minoan period. With internal diameter between approximately 3m-13m, and wall thickness between approximately 1m-3m, each had a stone-built entrance, either of trilithon type or with lintel(s) resting on stone-built supports. These en­ trances never face west of a north/south line, and most face between ENE and ESE. Sometimes, usually on the east side, the tombs have added annexe rooms and/or other structures such as a peribolos, paved area, a platform or an altar. The tombs are found singly or in groups, sometimes with differently-structured rectan­ gular funerary buildings within the same complex. Excavation has shown a prac­ tice of multiple burial, with secondary burial and storage of bones within the tombs and/or annexes. These tombs are the earliest significant body of ritual buildings left by Minoan civilization. Yet a number of them are unexcavated, and several of those that have been excavated - often in rescue situations - remain under-studied. One of the impediments to study is the remote location of many of the tombs and the diffi­ culty of finding them.

Chapagain Received: 6 October 2016; Accepted: 28 December 2016; Published: 7 January 2017 Abstract: In this article, several archaeological, historical and other aspects of aqueducts in Crete, Greece, since the prehistoric times until today, are reviewed and presented. In Crete, since the Minoan era, various water management techniques that are found in modern water technologies were developed and applied. One of the most significant features of the Minoan civilization was the architecture of water supply systems in the palaces and other settlements. These technologies were continued and improved mainly during the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods and at the same time spread to other towns in the mainland and islands. The aqueduct technologies developed during the Classical and Hellenistic periods were further developed by Romans, mainly by enlarging their application scale (e.g., water bridges). Several paradigms of Cretan aqueducts are considered by which the significance of those technologies for water supply in areas with limited water resources is justified.

Frenzel-Gumlich Intzestr.1 52062 Aachen Statutory Declaration I certify that I composed this thesis completely myself. Any help I made use of, I stated precisedly. Signature Place, date c d Abstract Foraminiferal assemblages and sediment characteristics on Crete island are examined by quantitative analysis multivariate techniques on drill core and beach sand samples along Crete´s coastal zones. This research aims to reconstruct the environment, bathymetry of recent foraminifera, and sediment composition and determine the relationship between foraminifera distribution and grain size. The methods applied include diversity statistics, cluster analysis (Q and R modes), and PCA (Principal Component Analysis). The species diversity or biodiversity is measured using species richness, the Fisher - α index, Simpson index, Shannon-Wiener index, and the percentage of species dominance. The P/R ratio (the portions of planktic foraminifera in the total foraminifera assemblages) is also used to calculate the bathymetry. In the western area, results of microfossil analysis show a total of 14 common species from a total of 66 species, which are divided into four clusters corresponding to four groups using R and Q modes, respectively: (Ia) Peneroplis pertusus; (Ib) Cibicides pseudolobatulus; (II) Ammonia beccarii; (III) Globigerina bulloides - Globigerinoides ruber.
