For this purpose a special Editorial Committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. R. C. Bosanquet, E. A. Gabdnkr, and G. F. IIn,L. The process of preparing for publication the masses of pottery and other objects brought from Melos to Athens has of necessity been a slow one. It was begun by Mr. C. C. Eduar in 1897, and has been carried on since 1899 by Mr. Bosanquet, with occasional help from Mr. F. B. Welch and other members of the British School. The majority of the drawings (excluding those in Chapter II. which are all by Mr. Atkinson) are the work of Mr. Halvor Bagge ; others, including the coloured copy of the Flying-fish picture, have been made by Mr. E. Cillieron, and a few by Mr. Theodore Fyfe. The difficulty of communication between contributors living in three and sometimes four difi"erent countries, may be held to excuse certain inconsistencies in nomenclature. No contributor is to be j-egarded as responsible for any statement not standing over his own .signature. "4 vi PREFACE The Editorial Committee desire to express their acknowledg- ments to Mr. P. Cavvadias, Ephor-General of Antiquities, and to Messrs. V. Staes and Ch. Tsountas, Ephors of the National Museum at Athens, who have done everything in their power to facilitate the preparation of this volume ; to Messrs. D. G. Hogarth and Cecil Smith, who, in addition to contributing the chapters signed by them, have in other ways rendered valuable assistance ; and also to Mr. Arthur Evans, who, though he took no part in the excav- ations, has contributed a note on the Pottery Marks in the light of the Cretan evidence.

  • Bronze Age Aegean Harboursides
    J.W. SHAW Bronze Age Aegean Harboursides ABSTRACT R ecent excavations and exploration have contributed new and crucial information warranting a review of our earlier understanding of Bronze Age Aegean harboursides, especially of the topographical conditions and geographical locations selected by the Aegeans. Major sites which can be cited are Kea, Kommos, Zakros, and Amnisos. Further information derives from precious pictorial depictions of coastal towns and possible harbours, as in frescoes found at Kea and, especially, in the West House at Akrotiri, or in the recently published sealing from Chania. The paper will discuss this new material and address questions of defence, ship storage, relations with inland towns, trade, relative water-levels, and the nature of the possible harbour installations during the Middle and Late Bronze Age in the Aegean. Introduction With its often large, well-furnished buildings, the Akrotiri settlement (Fig. 1) appears relatively opulent in comparison with Ayia Irini on Kea (Fig. 2)or more densely built Phylakopi on Milos (Fig. 3). At Akrotiri, of course, there still remain unusual contrasts among the building groups. For instance, the agglutinative room-group B/D, which probably consisted of three or more residences, appears to be sprawling in comparison with the much larger, more carefully planned ashlar buildings, whether one considers the relatively small West House, or Ashlars III and IV which in size and with the care given to their construction compare favourably with the largest of the houses at Ayia Irini (House A) or at Phylakopi (the Mansion) or, for that matter, with large houses in the Knossos area.

  • Mycenaean Seminar List
    THE MYCENAEAN SEMINAR 1954–2017 Olga Krzyszkowska and Andrew Shapland This list gives titles of individual seminars (and related events) with links and references to their publication in BICS. Initially discussions and some summaries were printed in the Seminar minutes, which were privately circulated (only from 21st January 1959 were minutes headed ‘Mycenaean Seminar’). The first published summaries appeared in BICS 13 (1966), soon superseding the minutes. Some seminars/public lectures were published as full-length articles (page references to these are given in bold). Summaries were usually, but not always, published in the subsequent year’s BICS and some never appeared at all. However, from 1993–94 onwards summaries of all Seminars and virtually all public lectures relating to Aegean prehistory held at the Institute were published in BICS. The summaries for 2014–15 were the last to appear in the print edition of BICS, which has now become thematic. The summaries for 2015–16 and 2016–17 are published in an online supplement to BICS available at the Humanities Digital Library. 1953–1954 The first meeting was on 27 January 1954, and there were four subsequent meetings that academic year. Minutes were kept from the second meeting onwards. 1954–55 Papers were given by J. Chadwick, P. B. S. Andrews, R. D. Barnett, O. Gurney, F. Stubbings, L. R. Palmer, T. B. L. Webster and M. Ventris. 1955–56 M. Ventris ‘Pylos Ta series’ S. Piggott ‘Mycenaeans and the West’ R. A. Higgins ‘Archaeological basis for the Ta tablets’ (BICS 3: 39–44) G. L.

C h a p i n Th e frescoes discovered on the Palace site constitute a new epoch in the history of painting. Sir Arthur Evans, March 1901 1 N 5 APRIL 1900, new excavations led by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos, Crete, were barely two weeks old when a mysterious fi gure in fresco was uncovered near the south propylon ( Fig. 1.1). “A great day”, Evans recorded in his journal as he noted the fi gure’s noble profi le, Obeautifully modeled arms, and tiny waist. It was, he observed “far and away the most remarkable human fi gure of the Mycenaean Age that has yet come to light.” Evans noted how even his workmen felt the painting’s spell, regarding its discov- ery as miraculous, the icon of a saint. Th e next morning, the Cretan man posted to guard the new fi nd told a story of how the wrathful saint had woken him at mid- night. Th e animals lowed and neighed, and there was, he said, “something about – but of a ghostly kind – φαντάζει [ fand á zi ] – it spooks!” 2 Th is incident more than a century ago encapsulates the reception of Aegean Bronze Age art, in which, even today, a lively mixture of fact, imagination, and emotion continues to influence its interpretation.

  • The Potter's Wheel at Phylakopi, Melos
    Journal of Anthropological Archaeology 26 (2007) 234–252 www.elsevier.com/locate/jaa Meaning in the making: The potter’s wheel at Phylakopi, Melos (Greece) Ina Berg ¤ Department of Archaeology, University of Manchester, School of Arts, Histories and Cultures, Humanities Bridgeford Street Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK Received 24 February 2006; revision received 28 September 2006 Available online 12 December 2006 Abstract It is now commonly accepted that technology is, to its very core, a social product through which we can explore cultural choices. This cultural dimension of technology will be examined with reference to the introduction and use of the potter’s wheel at Phylakopi on Melos (Greece) during the Late Bronze Age. At this site, the co-existence of two diVerent manufac- turing techniques was so deeply embedded that, despite the presence of hybrid vessels, many aspects of the pottery produc- tion had become linked to either a local (hand-built) or Minoanising (wheel-thrown) tradition. It will be argued that the traditional hand-building technique was associated with individual and rooted facets of the Melian identity (such as kin- ship, social class, or gender). Reasons for the initial stimulus for adoption of the potter’s wheel are considered to lie in its potential for competitive social practice through association with exotic, symbolically laden technologies, craft products and consumption rituals. The gradual application of the technology to ever more complex vessels, on the other hand, corre- sponds to the apprenticeship sequence outlined by Roux and Corbetta and may indicate an incomplete learning process or a certain lack of practice opportunities among local potters.

I dedicate this thesis to my husband, Todd, and to my children, Christian, Parker and Madison. Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the mentoring I received from Dr. Rozmeri Basic over the last four years, who introduced me to the Aegean Bronze Age. It is because of her that I decided to study Art History. Through my studies at the School of Visual Arts, I became acquainted with several professors who shaped my education, including Dr. W. Jackson Rushing, III, Dr. Robert Bailey, Professor Victor Youritzin, and Professor B. Byron Price. I also want to particularly mention Dr. Mary Jo Watson and Dr. Allison Palmer, who along with Dr. Basic, have been sources of immeasurable inspiration as art historians, professors, and women.
