She believes this involvement is important: ‘Our faculty will soon be using this campus and, together with the Law the Academic Club Faculty, is one of the faculties that makes the most intense use of the UB.’ Everyone is welcome It turns out that UvA students and employ- ees have some concerns about the UB. Both the FSR and the CSR have received ques- tions on the number of books that will be available in the library once it is opened. Eleni: ‘For students, it is important to have bookcases full of books that they can take off the shelves and leaf through. Not too many books should disappear into storage.’ Schedule of Requirements Very soon, the student representatives will be joining the discussion on the basic design and parameters for the campus. This will result in a schedule of requirements for the provisional design of both scenarios and will include agreements on the various functions of the campus and the amount of space required. Prestige project ‘Of course’, Lianne says, ‘we will be advocat- ing what is relevant for students: quality lec- ture spaces, good and sufficient study places and other such practical matters. Matters such as daylight, climate control and ambi- ence are important, too. Being in and around the buildings should be a pleasant experi- ence.’ Eline adds: ‘We want to retain the special charm of studying in the city centre. It certainly mustn’t become too massive or office-building like.’ Furthermore, the students will certainly be keeping an eye on the project costs. ‘Obviously a UB has to be attractive’, says Lianne. ‘But it doesn’t have to be an unnec- essarily expensive prestige project. And that’s a point of criticism of the current UB plan.’ Informing students CSR and FSR keep students abreast of the developments via the usual channels, Maaike Ambags in front such as Facebook and newsletters.

  • Horseback Riding and Cavalry in Mycenaean Greece*
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.11.0.2175875 AWE 11 (2012) 1-18 HORSEBACK RIDING AND CAVALRY IN MYCENAEAN GREECE* JORRIT M. KELDER Abstract This paper evaluates the evidence for horseback riding in Mycenaean Greece. This paper argues that horseback riding, which is widely held to be an Iron Age development (of espe- cially the 9th and 8th centuries BC), was practised by members of the aristocracies through- out the eastern Mediterranean as early as the 13th century BC, and that the first cavalry can be identified around the same time in Mycenaean Greece and other regions in the eastern Mediterranean. To that end, a range of iconographical, physical-anthropological and archaeological evidence will be reviewed. Status Questionis Though figurines of horsemen have been known since the earliest days of explora- tion at Mycenae, the overall occurrence of horsemen in the archaeological record remains limited at best. Only about 26 figurines or depictions of horsemen are known from Late Bronze Age strata in the Aegean, although evidence from contem- porary Egypt and Syria is more considerable. The limited occurrence of horsemen in the archaeological record has led most scholars to consider horsemanship as an oddity in the Mycenaean world; as something scarcely practised, and certainly not by the elite. The use of horsemen in a military setting, as cavalry, is considered even more unlikely, as there are only few representations of armed horsemen, and even then, they are not shown to be actively engaged in combat. However, on methodo- logical grounds, it is difficult to accept the absence of representations of horsemen in actual combat as evidence for the absence of cavalry.
