The Late Bronze Age Sanctuary at Ayios Iakovos: Dhima Revisited
Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia The Late Bronze Age Sanctuary at Ayios Iakovos: Dhima Revisited Adam Lindqvist Masteruppsats 45 hp i Antikens kultur och samhällsliv VT 2017 Handledare: Michael Lindblom Abstract Lindqvist, A. 2017. Ett återbesök i den sena bronsålders helgedomen i Ayios Iakovos: Dhima År 1929 grävde den Svenska Cypernexpeditionen ut en helgedom daterad till den tidiga delen av Sencypriotisk II (1400-1340/1315), namngiven Ayios Iakovos: Dhima. Kring ett terrakotta-kar återfann arkeologerna flera värdefulla och exotiska föremål. Sedan dess har platsen och dess fynd tolkats på många olika sätt, utan någon egentlig klarhet. Genom att göra en systematisk studie över det hittills opublicerade skärvmaterialet har nya slutsatser om platsen kunnat läggas fram. Tidigare tolkningar om ett kronologiskt gap under Sencypriotisk I kan nu ifrågasättas. Det finns belägg för ett kontinuerligt bruk från Mellancypriotisk III fram tills platsen övergavs under Sencypriotisk II. Den stora mängden slutna kärl, förknippade med transport av väldoftande oljor och salvor, vittnar om de aktiviteter som en gång företogs på platsen. Dessutom visar närvaron av typiska rituella dryckeskärl ett av de tidigaste exemplen på utvecklingen av Cypriotisk rituell tradition, nu separerad från de tidigare starka banden till gravriter. i Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my supervisor, Dr Michael Lindblom of the Department of archaeology and ancient history at Uppsala University. Without his invaluable guidance and persistent help, this thesis would not have been possible. I would also like to extend my thanks to the staff of the Mediterranean Museum in Stockholm, especially Dr Christian Mühlenbock, Dr Eva Myhrdal and Emma Andersson for their assistance in accessing the material that makes up the core of this study. -

This is not to say that I am suddenly a believer in the inherent agency of things, rather that the book before you is special to me because it represents a crucial phase of my life. Many people have contrib- uted to making these years exciting and challenging. After all – as I continu- ously emphasize over the next 350 pages – archaeological knowledge pro- duction is a collective affair. My first heartfelt thanks go to my supervisor Anders Andrén whose profound knowledge of cultural history and excellent creative ability to connect the dots has guided me through this process. Thank you, Anders, for letting me explore and for showing me the path when I got lost. My next thanks go to my second supervisor Arto Penttinen who encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D. and who has graciously shared his knowledge and experiences from the winding roads of classical archaeology. Thank you, Arto, for believing in me and for critically reviewing my work. -

Language: Collection material is in English Biographical/Historical Note Einar Nilson Gjerstad was born October 30, 1897 in Örebro, Sweden, where his father, Erik Nilson, was a merchant and local politician. As Nilson's career advanced during World War I, the family moved to Stockholm, and shortly after this, in 1917, Gjerstad left home to enroll in Uppsala University. At Uppsala, Gjerstad studied under Axel Persson, and eventually became his assistant when the Swedish excavations at Asine in Greece began in 1922. This connection with Persson set the foundation for Gjerstad's archaeological career. A chance encounter on a train in the Balkans in the summer of 1922 between Axel Persson and a stranger, who asked to borrow money, led to Persson receiving an invitation to excavate in Cyprus under very favorable conditions. -

Studying Classical Archaeology and Ancient History in Sweden Charlotte Scheffer
195 Studying Classical Archaeology and Ancient History in Sweden Charlotte Scheffer This article traces the background and gradual growth of the subject of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History in Sweden from the 17'" century to the present day. As a university subject it grew out of the study of the realia in connection with the classical languages and was separated as an independent subject as late as 1909. Between the 1920s and the 1970s, large-scale excavations dominated most work. At present, the topics are more varied, better use is being made of the possibilities of the dual nature of the evidence of texts and archaeological material and there is a growing awareness of a new set of problems.
