Midea, and Tzoungiza) Used More Quantities of the Material Than Other Argive Sites UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: May 13, 2003 I, James Michael Lloyd Newhard , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Classics in: the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences It is entitled: Aspects of Local Bronze Age Economies: Chipped Stone Acquisition and Production Strategies in the Argolid, Greece Approved by: Gisela Walberg Jack L. Davis Thomas Algeo P. Nick Kardulias Aspects of Local Bronze Age Economies: Chipped Stone Acquisition and Production Strategies in the Argolid, Greece A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences 2003 by James M.L. Newhard B.A., University of Missouri – Columbia, 1994 M.A., University of Cincinnati, 1996 Committee Chair: Dr. Gisela Walberg Abstract This study investigates the regional acquisition, production, and distribution patterns of chipped stone in the Bronze Age Argolid. Specific focus was placed on the discovery of lithic resources which would have provided usable cherts to the Argive settlements. A chert resource near the village of Ayia Eleni appears to have been used by a number of prehistoric communities. Quantities of local chert from these settlements indicate that the northeastern section of the Argolid (Mycenae, Midea, and Tzoungiza) used more quantities of the material than other Argive sites. A model of embedded procurement, encapsulated within pastoral transhumance, is suggested as the method by which the stone was transported from the primary source to the Argive settlements. This interpretation indicates that economic activities were occurring outside the control of the palatial centers, further supporting the theory that the palatial component of the Mycenaean economy was more limited in scope than is often thought. Acknowledgements This project would not have been completed without the assistance of individuals, institutions, and foundations. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to those who have encouraged, guided, and corrected me along the way. I would first like to thank my parents, James A. Newhard and Amy L. Newhard, for their constant love, sacrifice, and support. Their belief in my abilities has been an inspiration to me, and I can only hope to repay them by being a similar parent to their grandchild. To my dissertation committee – Dr. Gisela Walberg, Dr. Jack Davis, Dr. Nick Kardulias, and Dr. Tom Algeo – I owe an immense amount of gratitude for their years of teaching and nurturing. The contributions by Drs. Walberg and Davis to my graduate studies were immeasurable, and I cannot begin to express my deep feelings of respect and esteem. I would like to thank Dr. Kardulias for his willingness to introduce me to lithic analysis, and his kind hospitality during the early years of our association. He has always been the epitome of helpfulness, patience, and encouragement. Dr. Algeo was instrumental in reviewing the geological aspects of this study, and in clarifying key points relating to that field. His patience with an interested non-specialist was greatly appreciated. I would like to thank the faculty of the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati for their help throughout my graduate studies. Dr. Jean Wellington and the staff of the Burnam Classics Library were an infinite source of aid. While the library itself is unparalleled, its staff is in a class by itself. The research for this dissertation was financially supported by the Louis Taft Semple Fund of the Department of Classics, University of Cincinnati; a Geoarchaeology Fellowship from the Malcolm Wiener Laboratory of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens; a Fulbright research fellowship; and a Summer Research Fellowship from the Division of Research and Advanced Studies, University of Cincinnati. Without these sources of funding this dissertation would have not been possible, and I warmly thank these institutions and their benefactors for their support of archaeological research. While in Athens, the members and staff of the Malcolm Wiener Laboratory at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens provided a wealth of support and advice, as well as a wonderful base of operations from which to conduct research. Dr. Sherry Fox, Dr. Floyd McCoy, and Eleni Stathi deserve special mention in this regard. The regular and associate members, staff, and faculty of the school are also warmly thanked for providing an intellectually stimulating and encouraging environment, and for offering me lasting friendships. I would like to thank Brit Hartenberger, Spyros Iakovides, Anna Karabatsoli, Dionysios Matarangas, Curtis Runnels, Eleni Spathari, Myrsini Vartis-Matarangas, Gisela Walberg, Martha Weinke, James Wright, and the staff of the Fourth Ephoreia of Classical and Prehistoric Antiquities (Nafplio, Greece) for their permission, aid, and assistance in studying the lithic material from Lerna, Midea, Mycenae and Tzoungiza. Without their help, this project would not have been possible. I would like to thank past and current graduate students at Cincinnati – especially Eleni Hasaki, Rod Fitzsimons, and Julie Hruby – for their supportive collegiality. Their ideas, suggestions, and frequent discussions over coffee provided a welcoming and productive atmosphere for developing and implementing much of this project. The final drafts of this dissertation were written while I was a staff archaeologist at Gray & Pape, Inc. (Cincinnati, OH), a Core Faculty Instructor at Loyola College (Baltimore, MD), and an Adjunct Instructor at the Catholic University of America (Washington, D.C.). I would like to thank them for their encouragement and support. No words can express the love, sacrifice, and encouragement given me by my wife, Kate. Married two months before the beginning of my graduate studies, neither one of us fully understood how the long hours, months apart, and the other strains caused by my pursuit of an advanced degree would affect us. Through her sometimes quiet, sometimes forceful influence, I have come to this point in my life more fully cognizant of my duties as a husband, teacher, scholar, and citizen than I ever would have been without her. Finally, to my Χρηστουλακι, who came into the world near the end of this endeavor. It is his father’s hope that his curiosity about the world around him never ceases. I dedicate this dissertation to him.

  • The Use of Stone and Hunting of Reindeer
    ARCHAEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 12 THE USE OF STONE AND HUNTING OF REINDEER By Lena Holm O m University of Umeå ° Ai. ^ Department of Archaeology ARCHAEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 12 Distribution: Department of Archaeology, University of Umeå S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Lena Holm THE USE OF STONE AND HUNTING OF REINDEER A Study of Stone Tool Manufacture and Hunting of Large Mammals in the Central Scandes c. 6 000 - 1 BC. Akademisk avhandling, som för avläggande av filosofie doktors­ examen vid universitetet i Umeå kommer att offentligt för­ svaras i hörsal F, Humanisthuset, Umeå universitet, fredagen den 31 januari 1992 klockan 10.00. Abstract The thesis raises questions concerning prehistoric conditions in a high mountain region in central Scandinavia; it focuses on the human use of stone and on hunting principally of reindeer. An analysis of how the stone material was utilized and an approach to how large mammals were hunt­ ed result in a synthesis describing one interpretation of how the vast landscape of a region in the central Scandinavian high mountains was used. With this major aim as a base questions were posed concerning the human use of stone resources and possible changes in this use. Preconditions for the occurrence of large mammals as game animals and for hunting are also highlighted. A general perspective is the long time period over which possible changes in the use of stone and hunting of big game, encompassing the Late Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and to a certain extent the Early Iron Age. Considering the manufacture of flaked stone tools, debitage in the form of flakes from a dwelling, constitute the base where procurement and technology are essential.

  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.

  • Prehistoric Lithic Technology} Workshops} and Chipping Stations in the Philippines
    Prehistoric Lithic Technology} Workshops} and Chipping Stations in the Philippines D. KYLE LATINIS THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS represent an important area for research of problems concerning prehistoric archaeology in Southeast Asia. These insular areas, located east of the biogeographic boundary known as Huxley's line, include a variety of tropical environments. These islands remained detached from the continental portion of Southeast Asia throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. Archaeolog­ ical research has documented human occupation and adaptation from at least the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene within these islands. Unfortunately, relatively little intensive prehistoric archaeological research has been undertaken in the Philippines compared to some areas in mainland South­ east Asia, Oceania, and Australia. Warren Peterson's dissertation (1974) focused on a series of sites in northern Luzon and represents one of the foundation stud­ ies in the Philippines for modern archaeology. Peterson's work has often been cited and his conclusions used for the development of models concerning prehis­ tory in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Peterson's research was conducted during a period when behavioral reconstruc­ tions from site assemblage analyses were prominent in archaeological research. Specifically, Peterson attempted behavioral reconstruction from the analysis of stone tools from the Busibus/Pintu site in northern Luzon, Philippines. A reanal­ ysis of the entire Busibus/Pintu lithic assemblage has revealed problems with Peterson's initial analysis and interpretation of this site-problems that will be addressed in this paper. Lithic technology, stone tool manufacture, and selection and reduction strategies will also be explored. Finally, new interpretations of the nature of the lithic assemblage and site activities at Busibus/Pintu rock shelter will be provided.

    GREECE: A CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF THE PELOPONNESE A History & Nature Cruise Aboard Harmony G MAY 13–22, 2020 ATHENS PRE-TRIP: BIRDS & HISTORY MAY 9–14, 2020 NORTHERN GREECE EXTENSION: BIRDS & HISTORY MAY 22–JUNE 1, 2020 ©2019 Parthenon, Athens © Shutterstock Greece: Birds and History, Page 2 Splayed like the great hand of Poseidon, Greece’s multi-fingered Peloponnesian Peninsula thrusts south into the navy-blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Here, where southeastern Europe reaches its terminus at the doorsteps of Asia and Africa is a landscape seemingly bathed in endless light, where hills of jumbled limestone, fertile plains, and ancient olive groves forever stoke the irresistible allure of Greece. In May 2020, VENT is returning to Greece for a fabulous History and Nature cruise. The event, a Circumnavigation of the Peloponnese, will delve into the country’s illustrious history and culture while observing the region’s special resident and migrant birds and other aspects of the natural world. We have chartered the Harmony G, an elegant motor yacht, for a trip offering an abundance of beautiful scenery, visits to timeless archaeological sites and extraordinary museums, historical interpretation, quality birding, and cruising along the dramatic Greek coastline. While the white walled, blue-domed roofs of the tourist friendly Aegean islands figure preeminently in the plans of many visitors, it is the Peloponnesian Peninsula and nearby Athens where the heart of ancient Greece lies. From this largely rugged terrain, inhabited by ancient peoples, came words and thoughts never before conceived, ideas that together formed the basis of Western Civilization. History, philosophy, politics, theater, and athletics all made their debut here.
