  • Grave Goods, Hoards and Deposits ‘In Between’I
    Spectrums of depositional practice in later prehistoric Britain and beyond: grave goods, hoards and deposits ‘in between’i Anwen Cooper, Duncan Garrow and Catriona Gibson Paper accepted for publication in Archaeological Dialogues 27(2), Dec 2020 Abstract This paper critically evaluates how archaeologists define ‘grave goods’ in relation to the full spectrum of depositional contexts available to people in the past, including hoards, rivers and other ‘special’ deposits. Developing the argument that variations in artefact deposition over time and space can only be understood if different ‘types’ of finds location are considered together holistically, we contend that it is also vital to look at the points where traditionally defined contexts of deposition become blurred into one another. In this paper, we investigate one particular such category – body-less object deposits at funerary sites – in later prehistoric Britain. This category of evidence has never previously been analysed collectively, let alone over the extended time period considered here. On the basis of a substantial body of evidence collected as part of a nationwide survey, we demonstrate that body-less object deposits were a significant component of funerary sites during later prehistory. Consequently, we go on to question whether human remains were actually always a necessary element of funerary deposits for prehistoric people, suggesting that the absence of human bone could be a positive attribute rather than simply a negative outcome of taphonomic processes. We also argue that modern, fixed depositional categories sometimes serve to mask a full understanding of the complex realities of past practice and ask whether it might be productive in some instances to move beyond interpretatively confining terms such as ‘grave’, ‘hoard’ and ‘cenotaph’.

  • ITALY, VILLANOVANS and ETRUSCANS Biconical Cinerary
    ITALY, VILLANOVANS AND ETRUSCANS Biconical Cinerary Urn with Incised Decoration Etruria, Tarquinia (?), Villanovan, 750-700. BCE Impasto ware 63.15 A and B Museum Purchase The culture of the Villanovans, the Iron Age inhabitants of Etruria, was first uncovered at the small town of Villanova, near Bologna. In the 19th century, archaeologists began excavations here and named the characteristic urnfield culture Villanovan. The name "urnfielders" denotes the burial practices of people who, after cremating their dead, bury the ashes in urns placed in tombs. Villanovan cinerary urns are usually made of impasto ware, the typical, thick-walled, black burnished pottery fabric of the Villanovans. The clay still retains many of the impurities that naturally occur in clay-beds. Impasto pottery is handmade, until the introduction of the potter's wheel ca. 750-700 BCE The Villanovans buried the ashes of their dead in two types of cinerary urns: biconical and hut. The museum's urn is the biconical type, which is so-called from the resemblance of the body to two cones, one inverted on top of the other. Biconical urns are more common than hut urns. The general shape and decoration are fairly standard throughout the region, but the lids in the northern area were covered with a bowl, whereas in the south the Villanovans used a lid made in the shape of a helmet. Sometimes the lids were made of bronze. The museum's lid imitates a bronze bell-shaped helmet. Villanovan urns were buried in small graves. These were rectangular pits, usually lined with stone slabs and covered by a large roof slab.

  • Aphrodite in the Terracottas of Pella
    Aphrodite in the terracottas of Pella Zamioudi Anastasia SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in The Classical Archaeology and the History of Ancient Macedonia February 2018 Thessaloniki – Greece 2 3 Student Name: Zamioudi Anastasia SID: 2204150029 Supervisor: Prof. I.M Akamatis. I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. February 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece 4 ABSTRACT This dissertation was written as part of the MA in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The paper discusses the worship of Aphrodite and the clay figurines found in different positions in the city of Pella. The several types of clay figurines are described and an attempt to give an interpretation for their use is made. The study of the material led to the identification of eight types. The objective was to explore the variations within the different types of the figurines and find parallels of each type separately. Special focus is attempted on the interaction between the worship of the goddess and the local community, in a way that Aphrodite played an important role in the daily religious activities of the city’s population. For example, the mortal ladies of Pella offered themselves to the chthonian deities in order to favour the deceased. Beyond her chthonic character, Aphrodite was worshipped as Aphrodite Pandemos in the Sanctuary of Pella. This aspect of Aphrodite is bound up with the commoners of Pella in a sense that the deity unites its people socially and politically.

  • Dating the Cremation in the Biconical Urn at the Early Bronze Age Barrow
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society DATING THE CREMATION IN A BICONICAL URN AT THE EARLY BRONZE AGE BARROW, HILL ROAD, WOULDHAM JOHN CRUSE The central cremation from the Wouldham barrow now has an AMS radiocarbon calibrated date of 1750-1640 BC (at la), providing independent support for Tomalin's suggestion that his Inception Series biconical urns were contemporary with the transition between Wessex I and II metalwork. The burial's wider context is also investigated. In 1982, members of the Maidstone Area Archaeological Group excavated a ploughed-out banow on the edge of the North Downs, overlooking the Medway at Wouldham, The banow's central cremation of an adult female (?) in an inverted bicoMcal urn (Fig. 1) was dated to the 'middle of the second millenMum BC. based on ceramic parallels and a single l4C date from a comparable site in Holland (Cmse and Harrison 1983. 89, 97). This cremation has now been directly dated. Bio-apatite 1JC Determination Research by Gromngen Institute of Archaeology has established that bone consists of collagen fibres, in which particles of 'bio-apatite' are imbedded. TMs bio-apatite contains 1-2% of calcium carbonate, derived from bicarbonate ions in the blood. During the cremation process, all the collagen can disappear, together with a fair amount of the bicarbonate. However sufficient carbonate remains (c.0.1-0.2%) to be NC dated by AMS (Lanting and Brindley 1998; Lanting et al. 2001). With the support of the British Museum, a sample from the central cremation at Hill Road.

    Image Essay #2 Beak-Spouted Jug ca. 1425 B.C. Mycenaean Glazed ceramic Height: 10 1/4” WAM Accession Number: 48.2098 LOOKING AT THE OBJECT WITH STUDENTS This terracotta clay jug with a long beak-like spout is decorated in light-colored glaze with a series of nautilus- inspired shell patterns. The abstract design on the belly of the jug alludes to a sea creature’s tentacles spreading across the vase emphasizing the shape and volume of the vessel. A wavy leaf design on the vase’s shoulder fur- ther accentuates the marine-motif, with the curves of the leaves referring to the waves of the sea. Around the han- dle and spout are contour lines rendered in brown glaze. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Long before Classical Greece flourished in the 5th century B.C., two major civilizations dominated the Aegean in the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C.: the Minoans on Crete and the Mycenaeans on the Greek mainland. The prosper- ous Minoans, named after the legendary King Minos, ruled over the sea and built rich palaces on Crete. Their art is characterized by lively scenes depicting fanciful plants and (sea) animals. By the middle of the 2nd millennium B.C., Mycenaean culture started to dominate the Aegean. It is known for its mighty citadels at Mycenae and else- where, its impressive stone tombs, and its extensive trading throughout the Mediterranean world. Beak-spouted jugs were popular in both the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures. They held wine or water, and were often placed in tombs as gifts to the deceased.
