A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 7 The Archaeology of Late Bronze Age In- teraction and Mobility at the Gates of Europe

Francesco Iacono

City & year: London 2019 [November 2018] Publisher: Bloomsbury Description: Hardback, 286 p., numerous b/w tables and figures, 16 x 24 cm

Abstract

Interaction and mobility have attracted much interest in research within scholarly fields as different as archaeology, history, and more broadly the humanities. Critically assessing some of the most widespread views on interaction and its social impact, this book proposes an innovative perspective which combines radical social theory and currently burgeoning network methodologies.

Through an in-depth analysis of a wealth of data often difficult to access, and illustrated by many diagrams and maps, the book highlights connections and their social implications at different scales ranging from the individual settlement to the Mediterranean. The resulting diachronic narrative explores social and economic trajectories over some seven centuries and sheds new light on the broad historical trends affecting the life of people living around the Middle Sea.

The Bronze Age is the first period of intense interaction between early state societies of the Eastern Mediterranean and the small-scale communities to the west of Greece, with people and goods moving at a scale previously unprecedented. This encounter is explored from the vantage point of one of its main foci: Apulia, located in the southern Adriatic, at the junction between East and West and the entryway of one of the major routes for the resource-rich European continent.

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 9 The Zooarchaeology of the Late Neo- lithic Strymon River Valley. The case of the Greek sector of Promachon– Topolniča in Macedonia, Greece

George Kazantzis

City & year: Oxford 2018 Publisher: BAR Publishing Series: BAR International Series 2908 Description: 218 pages, Illustrated throughout in colour and black and white. 163 tables, 105 figures (25 in colour)

Abstract

Excavations on the border between Greece (sector Promachon) and Bulgaria (sector Topolniča) in the basin of the river Strymonas, in Macedonia northern Greece, have revealed a ‘flat-extended’ settlement dating to the Late Neolithic. In addition to the rich array of material culture evidence, the excavation yielded a substantial quantity of animal bones, thus offering an unparalleled opportunity to study the human-animal relationships. This book focuses on the study of the faunal assemblage from the Greek sector of Promachon, and examines the role and the contribution of domestic and wild animals in subsistence. This information is especially valuable considering the scarcity of faunal data from contemporary settlements across the basin of the Strymonas during a time period (the 5th millennium BC) that is considered one of the most dynamic eras in the prehistory of southeastern Europe. This study also clarifies trends in animal management at both the micro and the macro scales, through a detailed comparison of faunal data between Promachon and other contemporary sites from northern Greece and the Balkan regions.

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 11 Κυκλαδική κοινωνία. 5000 χρόνια πριν (Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago)

Edited by Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis

City & year: Athens 2016 Publisher: Museum of Cycladic Art-Ministry of Cul- ture and Sports Description: Paperback, 264 p., numerous colour figures, 30 x 24.5 cm

Abstract

In 2016 the Museum of Cycladic Art celebrated 30 years of creative presence with an exhibition entitled “Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago”, opened from early December 2016 to late March 2017. Since no written documents of the Early Cycladic period survive, this exhibition attempted to “read” in a simple and straightforward manner the social structure, activi- ties, living environment, and, where possible, convictions and beliefs of the Cycladic islanders in the Early Bronze Age (3,200-2,000 BC) through their creations.

Cycladic figurines, in their present form, with their simple shape and clean outline, became popular through their association with abstract art by 20th-century artists like Modigliani, Brancusi, Matisse, and Picasso. Viewed primarily as works of art, they were often presented in a strictly typological manner, without reference to their creators’ cultural sphere. The exhibition “Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago” aimed to fill that void and explore the daily life and undertakings of the Cycladic islanders 5,000 ago!

Τhe exhibition was organized by the Museum of Cycladic Art in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades and it housed 191 ancient artefacts: from its own collections, the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades (98 artefacts came from the Museums of Nax- os, Apeiranthos, Syros and Paros) as well as the National Archaeological Museum and the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum.

Edited by Ernst Pernicka, Sinan Ünlüsöy & Stephan W. E. Blum

City & year: Bonn 2016 Publisher: Dr. Rudolph Habelt Series: Studia Troica, Monographien 8 Description: Paperback, 405 p., numerous b/w and some colour figures, 21 x 30 cm

Abstract

Troy has been of outstanding importance for EBA archaeology ever since the discovery and excavation of the site by Heinrich Schliemann. Partly due to the paucity of archaeological research on EBA Anatolia, Troy has long been considered as the only key site for Western Anatolia and the Northern Aegean However, as a result of recent excavations at other contemporary sites (e. g., Liman Tepe, Yenibademli, Kiilluoba), it has become clear that Troy was not the only significant EBA settlement in this region and that its position as a key site is due for a re-examination. To explore the similarities and diversities of Early Bronze Age cultures across the Northern- Aegean and Western Anatolia, an international conference entitled Early Bronze Age Troy: Chronology, Cultural Development and Interregional Contacts was held in early May 2009 at the University of Tubingen. Besides the general aspects of chronology and stratigraphy, it addressed themes such as the emergence of stratified societies, concepts of EBA economy and trade, production and distribution of raw materials and craft specialization with special reference to Troy itself.

Abstract

In 1990 the University of Minnesota carried out an architectural survey of the standing remains of the Bronze Age Palace of Nestor, discovered by Carl Blegen in 1939 and excavated from 1952 to 1966. While the first stone-by-stone state plan of the building was being created, it became clear that some of the architectural assumptions about the structure and its history could not be correct. Over the next eight years the Blegen-period backfill covering the site was systematically removed so that a complete architectural plan could be pre- pared. The work was carried out using the protocols of an archaeological excavation. Alt- hough only backfill was removed, numerous unexpected finds were recovered, ranging from discarded Linear B tablets and wall painting fragments to roof tiles and pottery; in addition, a detailed study of the architecture revealed evidence for startling new conclusions about the structure of the palace and the history of the site.

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 20 Minoan Architecture and Urbanism. New Perspectives on an Ancient Built Envi- ronment

Edited by Quentin Letesson & Carl Knappett

City & year: Oxford 2017 Publisher: Oxford University Press Description: Hardback, 393 p., 119 b/w figures, 7 b/w tables, 24.1 x 16 cm

Abstract

Minoan Crete is rightly famous for its idiosyncratic architecture, as well as its palaces and towns such as Knossos, Malia, Gournia, and Palaikastro. Indeed, these are often described as the first urban settlements of Bronze Age Europe. However, we still know relatively little about the dynamics of these early urban centres. How did they work? What role did the palaces have in their towns, and the towns in their landscapes?

It might seem that with such richly documented architectural remains these questions would have been answered long ago. Yet, analysis has mostly found itself confined to building materials and techniques, basic formal descriptions, and functional evaluations. Critical evalua- tion of these data as constituting a dynamic built environment has thus been slow in coming.

This volume aims to provide a first step in this direction. It brings together international scholars whose research focuses on Minoan architecture and urbanism as well as on theory and methods in spatial analyses. By combining methodological contributions with detailed case studies across the different scales of buildings, settlements and regions, the volume proposes a new analytical and interpretive framework for addressing the complex dynamics of the Minoan built environment.

Abstract

This book investigates the production technology and inter-site circulation of a large and di- verse Late Neolithic ceramic assemblage from the flat-extended settlement of Makrygialos (Phase II), in northern Greece. Comparative samples from Dimini, in Thessaly, and Ag- rosykia A and Giannitsa B, in western Macedonia, are also incorporated. It draws conclusions from the use of macroscopic and petrographic analysis of a large number of samples in an integrated project. The new evidence offers a better understanding of the role of technological choice in ceramic production. Locally produced and imported ceramic categories are found to co-exist. They signify manufacture by different groups or individuals with vary- ing degrees of technological knowledge and skill, probably producing in different places, and within distinct ceramic traditions. More importantly, petrographic analysis provides positive evidence of the long-distance exchange of pots, challenging previously established ideas on the circulation of pottery for this period and geographical area. The emerging picture strong- ly supports the idea of a dynamic Neolithic society characterised by mobilities, interaction and social competition between people, as revealed through their material culture.

Two ancient shipwrecks that were investigated and excavated by the Ephorate of Un- derwater Antiquities between 1991 and 2000 and also from 2003 to 2009 under the direction of the undersigned who served at the time as Deputy Head or Head of the Ephorate are worthy of special attention. The shipwreck off Peristera Island near Alonnisos is the largest ship dating from the Classical period that has been found so far, whose cargo comprised 4,000 commercial amphorae as well as Attic black-glazed luxury vessels. For the first time it is corroborated that ships which exceeded 250 met- ric tons in weight were built by Greek shipwrights already since the 5th c. BC, thus confirming one more time the accuracy of Thucydides as a historian when he referred to the Athenian ναῦν μυριοφόρον (of 10,000 talents’ burden) sent at the Sicilian Expe- dition.

The second shipwreck was located off the islet of Pseira on Mirabello Bay in southern Crete and dates back to the Middle Minoan IIB period. The nearly 200 finds that were retrieved from its cargo and the surrounding area constitute the largest collection of transport vessels of the Middle Minoan IIB period. It has been estimated that the ship was 10 to 15 m long, whereas its weight has not been calculated yet since the vases must be thoroughly cleaned from sea organisms and weighed first. This excavation has ascertained the existence of an extroverted maritime society which early on crossed the Cretan Sea daringly trading goods with Crete and the East.

One of the most frequented sea routes in the Aegean throughout the centuries is the one connecting the Saronic and the Argolic Gulfs. The first evidence for seafaring comes from the Mesolithic strata of Franchthi Cave (9000-7000 BC), which contained obsidian tools sourced to the island of Melos.

During the Early Bronze Age (3200-2100 BC) the introduction of metalworking and ad- vances in shipbuilding technology favoured an impressive shift towards the sea. The major centres that flourished in the Argolic Gulf (Lerna, Tiryns, Asine) used the well- known sea routes, established centuries before, for their contacts with the centres of the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades. To facilitate these contacts, a dense network of sites was established along the coast of the mainland and the islands, today partly or

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 26 fully submerged due to eustatic and tectonic changes. The sites selection was deter- mined by environmental parameters (geology and sources of raw materials, geomor- phology, meteorology, etc.) as well as the constraints opposed by shipbuilding technology.

The Southern Euboean Gulf Project was a jointed underwater survey undertaken by the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities and the Hellenic Institute of the Maritime Ar- chaeology. The aim of the project was to survey large tracts of coastline in the area extended between Sounio, Kavalliani Island and Karystos in search for shipwrecks and traces of ancient navigation and trade. The eleven-year long program (2006-2016) resulted, among the discovery of many shipwrecks, the spotting of many ancient anchors that cover a wide chronological range. This study aims to present the corpus of the 44 anchors located and documented so far in Southern Euboean Gulf and com- ment to their spatial and chronological distribution.

The vast majority of anchors found and raised were not directly connected to any spe- cific wreck-sites. Like in the rest of the Aegean, anchors appear mostly as isolated finds, abandoned or lost during use. Five anchors belong to the primitive composite stone anchor type and are hypothetically dated to the Bronze Age or the following period of the Dark Ages. They represent a 12,5% of the total amount and have weights that vary from 13 to 77 kilograms. The navigation of the Archaic-Early Classical period is represented by 14 stone stocks (35%), made of marble, limestone or granite that exhibit weights ranging from 6,5 to 48 kilograms. Nine of the samples raised originate from the west side of Kynosoura peninsula (Cape Stomi), a long promontory that forms the eastern barrier of the Marathon Bay.

“Archaeological Shoreline Research” (A.Sho.Re.) is an interdisciplinary Research Pro- ject of the University of the Peloponnese conducted in collaboration with the N.C.S.R. “Demokritos” and the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research. It explores the historical significance of the Coastal Zone through an extensive and systematic Geo- Archaeological Reconnaissance of SE Kephallenia, the Ionian Sea. Although palaeo- geographic processes and the nexus between nature and culture are major fields of in-

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 27 terest, our field-work indicates that it is important for interdisciplinary method to focus on the narrowly local scale of investigation. A systematic and extensive research plat- form that registers different types of data in the different scales of geology and history sets an example of applied research designed to this end. Coastal stratigraphy of a se- lect stretch is thus presented, along with the emerging questions and problems, including the difficulties encountered in assessing the hard facts of archaeology in the fluid maritime context. The systematic geo-archaeological documentation of the coastal zone in a scale pertinent to culture may lead to the recovery of “port stratigraphy”, even if its typical structures are not immediately accessible. The project is supported by the “Initiative for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage” and the Institute for Field Research.

In the present article the surviving depictions and models of ships from the Aegean Bronze Age are analysed according to functional aspects and placed in the context of the environment of the peoples of the Aegean Islands and Crete. It is clear that the vessels were perfectly adapted to the conditions of the Aegean and were continually being improved upon by their builders. Thus, the Early Cycladic population mainly em- ployed large canoe-like boats to interact with the peoples of distant islands and the mainland. During the Middle Minoan period these longboats were redesigned into row- ing and sailing vessels for trading, with higher cargo capacities, less crew and a building method requiring fewer resources. In the Late Minoan period the larger and more valuable cargoes had to be protected from attacks by pirates. The trading ship fit for military service, as shown on the West House frieze on Thera and the talismanic seals with their platforms (ikria), dominated the eastern Mediterranean until the end of the Minoan era.

From the Geometric period at the latest ships and parts of ships in their original state, in three-dimensional copies and as two-dimensional depictions were offered in sanctuaries to different deities. Here, the meaning of the element »ship« varies, dependent upon the form and embedment of the votive.

Shipbuilding Tools from the Bronze Age Boatbuilder to the Traditional Shipwright: Tracing the Evidence in the Mediterranean Basin Eleni Maragoudaki In H. Frielinghaus, T. Schmidts & V.

The present study traces the presence of shipbuilding tools through time and discerns the changes to which they were subjected, when and why. The aim set was developed through the recording, re-examination and classification of the available archaeological and ethno-archaeological evidence. Moreover, experimental methods like tool recon- struction and partial hull rebuilding proved useful in the allocation of sufficient criteria for understanding the use of a tool (utility, functional differences). Through the afore- mentioned process it could be proven that the types of woodworking tools used in shipbuilding have persisted largely without fundamental changes, while the tool evolu- tion is due to the material and techniques used, as well as to socio-cultural influences.

The Minoan and Mycenaean ‘palatial’ civilizations of later Bronze Age southern Greece Table 8.1) have excited popular and scholarly interest for their rich material culture and Europe’s earliest known scripts. Animals are prominent in Minoan and My- cenaean iconography and a major focus of Mycenaean clay documents in the deci- phered Linear B script. Together, images, texts, and skeletal remains offer rare insight into the ideological, political, and economic importance of animals to these societies.

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 29 This chapter focuses on animals in later Bronze Age (second millennium cal BC) southern Greece, with brief comparative consideration of the preceding Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (seventh- third millennia cal BC) and non-palatial north of Greece to highlight any changes associated with palatial society. We consider first the osteological evidence for which species people exploited and how; then textual evidence for their role in Mycenaean political economy; and finally iconography as a guide to their place in elite ideology and cosmology. We focus on the terrestrial fauna that domi- nates the osteological and textual data.

The collapse of the Bronze Age palatial centres in the Aegean transformed the societies surrounding the palaces and unbalanced the relationship between these areas and those immediately to the north. In Classical tradition, the Dorians invaded Greece in the twilight years of the palaces or soon thereafter, leading to collapse. It is here suggested that, far from being a redundant view of mass migrations, the tales of the Dorians can be instructive for understanding elite manipulation of a sea of shifting identities and allegiances born of transcultural interaction. This involved peoples from particular areas along with those from within the lands of Greece and the Apennine and Balkan Peninsulas. This chapter uses the case of diversity within the forms of Naue II swords and, to a lesser extent, spearheads to explore the regional patterns of the Aegean at this time. It examines different phases of the chaîne opératoire to iso- late the range of ways in which these bronze artefacts can reveal connectivity. It is proposed that three major regional divisions within Greece are relevant and that con- siderable disparity among them is evident. Interaction occurs across these multiple scales, influenced by individual choices, but the swords in this chapter are shown to have heterogeneous origins.

This paper focuses on the influence of conflict and violence on Neolithisation and Neo- lithic dispersal in the Eastern Mediterranean. While the transition from hunter- gathering to Neolithic economies in the early Holocene is sometimes regarded as sole- ly practicable at times of peace and harmonious relations between communities, we

A E G E U S – SOCIETY FOR AEGEAN PREHISTORY 30 ask whether the subsequent dispersal of Neolithic lifeways over tens of hundreds of kilometres in the 7th millennium calBC was “facilitated” or “accelerated” by climate- induced inter-group violence. We conclude that although early warfare may have become more frequent among Neolithic societies at this time, it is unlikely that it played any significant role in contemporaneous expansion processes.

Στους δε προϊστορικούς αρχαιολόγους είναι επίσης γνωστός και από ένα άλλο γεγονός. Επί σειρά ετών υπήρξε συνερ- γάτης του αείμνηστου Carl Blegen στις ανασκαφές του ανακτόρου του Νέστορος στην Πύλο.

Τον Γεώργιο Παπαθανασόπουλο είχα την ευκαιρία να τον γνωρίσω σε ένα συνέδριο που πραγματοποιήθηκε το 2013 προς τιμή του Carl Blegen. Σε αυτό το συνέδριο ο Παπαθα- νασόπουλος μοιράστηκε μαζί μας μνήμες από την περίοδο ανασκαφικής μαθητείας του στον Blegen. Η άκρως συναισθηματική του ομιλία μου γέννησε την επιθυμία να μάθω περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες όχι μόνο για τον Blegen αλλά και για τον ίδιο. Η συνέντευξη αυτή πραγματοποιήθηκε μερικά χρόνια αργότερα στο όμορφο σπίτι του στη Γλυφάδα, με μια πανέμορφη θέα προς την ίδια τη θάλασσα, που τόσο έχει εμποτίσει την πορεία του στην αρχαιολογία.

Τον ευχαριστώ θερμά, που μου έδωσε την ευκαιρία να μοιραστεί μαζί μου/μας άγνωστες πτυχές της ζωής του. Θερμές ευχαριστίες θα ήθελα να απευθύνω και στα παιδιά του Θά- νο και Λιλή, καθώς και τον Σπύρο, όχι μόνο για τη ζεστή φιλοξενία τους, αλλά και για κάθε βοήθεια που προσέφεραν στην επιμέλεια της συνέντευξης και στην εύρεση των φωτο- γραφιών. Ευχαριστώ επίσης την Ευαγγελία Σίκλα που ανέλαβε το δύσκολο έργο της α- πομαγνητοφώνησης αυτής της συνέντευξης.

Η συνέντευξη θα παρουσιαστεί σε δυο μέρη. Το πρώτο μέρος αναφέρεται στην περίοδο από τα παιδικά του χρόνια μέχρι και τις ανασκαφές του στο ανάκτορο του Νέστορος στην Πύλο. Το δεύτερο μέρος αναφέρεται στην περίοδο από το 1960, όταν διορίστηκε Επιμε- λητής στην Ολυμπία, μέχρι και σήμερα.
