NEW BOOKS MESOHELLADIKA – MΕΣΟΕΛΛΑΔΙΚΑ.

Abstract During the first half of the 2nd millennium BC, as the first palaces appear in Crete and the Minoan civilisation is flourishing, the Greek mainland goes through what is considered a period of stagnation, if not decline and social regression: the Middle Helladic period. The Middle Bronze Age in the Greek mainland has received very little attention, perhaps because of the relative austerity of the material culture and the absence of overt social differentiation. However, a wealth of research over the past several decades, that derives from both recent discoveries and the re-examination of older data, requires us to revise this picture. In fact, it is nowadays suggested that the Middle Helladic period witnessed profound cultural, social and political transformations which laid the basis for the emergence of the Mycenaean civilisation. It was therefore deemed necessary to reassess developments during the period by organising the first international conference dedicated exclusively to the Middle Helladic period. The Proceedings of the conference, which brings together about one hundred contributions on different aspects of Middle Helladic culture is the first publication to throw light on an obscure and neglected period of Aegean prehistory.

The rapid mapping service of burned areas is based on satellite images of medium resolution which are collected on a 24/7 basis at the satellite stations owned and operated by the Centre (e.g. MODIS, NPP-VIIRS, NOAA/AVHRR, FY), as well as based on high resolution Sentinels II data. The latter are being collected in near real time at the Hellenic Mirror Site, under the collaboration agreement signed between NOA and the European Space Agency (ESA). The daily damages of land use/ land cover types are assessed several times a day at the medium resolution of 500-750 m, while every ten days a more detailed assessment at the much high resolution of 10m is provided.

    MARTIN ROBERTSON Charles Martin Robertson 1911–2004 MARTIN ROBERTSON was born in Pangbourne on 11 September 1911, the first child of Donald Robertson, who had been appointed that year to an Assistant Lectureship in Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Petica (née Coursolles Jones). The family, including his brother Giles who was born in 1913, lived in Huntingdon Road in Cambridge, moving after the First World War to Bateman Street overlooking the Botanic Gardens. Although Donald wanted his sons to follow him at Westminster School, Petica, a strong personality who ran a salon for the literary and artistic personalities of the day, wished them to stay at home, and, after a time at a prep school, they attended The Leys School in Cambridge. Martin (he was always ‘Martin’, never ‘Charles’, to his parents and his children) learned to read early and is reputed to have read from the newspaper, when four years old, to the noted Cambridge mathematician G. H. Hardy. His love of literature was deep and abiding, but he was not a practical boy nor good at physical pursuits. His father loved riding and arranged for Martin to have riding lessons; Martin did not like the instructor and the lessons were not a success. He found his father rather oppressive and felt that he was an inferior reproduction of him. Whether he would have fared better at the piano is unknown, as Petica decided that Giles was the musi- cal one and denied Martin the chance. He never learned to drive but enjoyed cycling (in his late sixties, on retirement from his Oxford chair and moving house to Cambridge, he cycled all the way from the one to the other).

    NICOLAS COLDSTREAM John Nicolas Coldstream 1927–2008 NICOLAS COLDSTREAM was born in Lahore on 30 March 1927, only son of John Coldstream, whose career was spent in the judicial arm of the Indian Civil Service and whose mother (Phyllis née Hambly) was from a military family, Lancers not Coldstreams. His father was knighted in 1938 after retirement but stayed on as fi rst minister of Kapurthala state until 1939. On returning to England the family took up residence in St John’s Wood, moving in 1952 to 180 Ebury Street, SWl. Nicolas, as he was always known, though too often with an added ‘h’, was educated at prep school in Eastbourne, then as a King’s scholar at Eton. St Cyprian’s at Eastbourne had a lasting impression on him, and he concurred with the picture of the school given by Cyril Connolly in Enemies of Promise and George Orwell in ‘Such, such were the joys’. He was one of the fi rst Raj children to travel by air, just once, in 1938, and his fi rst publication was based on it—Croydon to Kapurthala. My First Flight (Kapurthala, Jagatjit Electric Press, 1938); the Maharajah was so impressed that he had it privately printed at his own expense. His fi rst view of the Athenian Akropolis was when the plane stopped to refuel on this journey. At Eton he had to choose between his two best subjects, Classics and Mathematics, and plumped for the former; he much respected his Tutor, Francis Cruso. His career took a not unusual step, from Eton to King’s College Cambridge, but not until he had done his National Service, 1945–8.

    Dionysos and Theatre in Sphettos

    Kazuhiro TaKeuchi / PeTer Wilson Dionysos anD TheaTre in sphettos absTracT: Despite recent and growing interest in the theatre festivals held by the demes of attica —the rural Dionysia— the evidence for these events, which is largely epigraphic and archaeological, is not always well known or understood. This article studies the case of one deme of which this is particularly true — sphettos, situated at the southern foothills of the eastern side of Mt. hymettos. close analysis of the two relevant items —a dedicatory relief and a deme decree— points to the existence in sphettos, by the middle of the fourth century, of performances of tragedy in a theatre which had prohedric seating; funded by choregoi; and possibly organised on a com- petitive basis. The key item of evidence is a fragmentary inscription published only in 1986 (SEG XXXVi 187), analysed here in detail for the first time. This is also the sole testimony to a deme priest of Dionysos in the entire corpus of evidence. he aTTic deme of sPheTTos is absent from all treatments of theatre Tand the cult of Dionysos prior to 2004.1 This is largely because the key item of evidence —a fragmentary deme decree found at philiati, three kilome- tres northwest of modern Koropi (SEG XXXVi 187)— was published only in 1986.2 nonetheless, a relief found on the site of the ancient deme that almost * We should like to express our thanks for suggestions and corrections to eric csapo, hans Goette, andrew hartwig, angelos Matthaiou and an anonymous reader for Lo- geion; and to the australian research council for financial support.

Albani Abstract: This article addresses attitudes towards the medieval past of Athens from modern to postmodern times. Athens, a symbol of classical civilisation, had become a provincial Byzantine centre. From the proclamation of Athens in 1833 as the capital of the modern Greek state to about 1880, archaeological research in Athens focused on classical antiquities at the expense of the preservation of monuments of the Middle Ages, which was regarded as a period of decline. The historical and artistic value ofA thenian medieval monuments has been acknowledged since the late nineteenth century. The international progress of Byzantine studies, the national narrative on the continuity of Greek history, the political concept of the Megali Idea (“Great Idea”), and contemporary state policies based on “diachrony and synergy” contributed to this significant ideological shift.A thens is, however, still renowned and admired worldwide

Such a distinguishedvenue would normally havesufficed the publicationof the pot, but apartfrom its own intrinsicinterest, it contributesto a smallCretan problem that has neverbeen adequatelyaddressed. Moreover, the originaltype of vesselfrom which P 6163 is likelyto havebeen cut can be illustratedby a pot in the laterAthenian Kerameikos.2For these reasons,Agora P 6163 is publishedhere in the companyof its friend, Fortetsa454 (P1.16:d),3 and in closeproximity to its alterego, or id, Kerameikos783 (P1.15:b).4 Beforedescribing Agora P 6163, it wouldbe usefulto summarizeits contextand establishits date, especiallysince datinga vesselsuch as this one on the basis of style alone would, at best, representan arbitraryguess. Agora P 6163 was found in a well (depositL 6:2). Clearanceof late walls immediatelyto the south of the Athens-Piraeusrailway in 1935 led to the discovery of this well, which is locatedonly about 50 m south of the EridanosRiver and about 12 m east of the southeastcorner of the Peribolosof the TwelveGods. The mouth of the well, measuring 1.60 m east-westby 1.15 m north-south,was encounteredat a depth of 6 m below the modern groundlevel, and its shaftextended another 5.50 m in depth.

PRESENCE AND RESIDENCE OF NEAR EASTERNERS IN CRETE DURING THE IRON AGE Judith Muñoz Sogas Institut Universitari d’Història Jaume Vicens Vives (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Deparment of Archaeology (University of Sheffield), Barcelona, Spain [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ Abstract Since Prehistory, human beings have migrated from one place to another in order to meet their needs. The Iron Age saw an increase of interactions in the Mediterranean Sea. Archaeological settlements of the island of Crete (Greece), such as Knossos, Eleutherna or the Idaean Cave, have provided Near Eastern material that suggests these contacts. The finds indicate the presence of Near Easterners in the island (figurines of Egyptian gods from Knossos show the transmission of oriental religion; North Syrian ivory furniture found at the Idaean Cave and oriental bronzes manufactured at Eleutherna imply a Near Easter craftsmen working there), but also their residence (attested by “cippi”, an oriental mortuary practice).
