L’archéologie du territoire a cherché le plus souvent à cerner des zones d’approvisionnement, des zones de culture et des zones d’élevage et a pu retracer ainsi l’organisation progressive de ces ensembles, depuis le territoire « ethnique », défini par le groupe qui l’occupe, jusqu’au territoire « civique », défini par une organization politique et défendu par elle....

The post-palatial period - Late Helladic IIIC - is often seen as the twilight years of Mycenean civilisation, a period of economic decline with few achievements in terms of architecture, materials or technology. It has been the subject of many substantial discussions in relation to the causes of the collapse of Mycenaean palace society and the nature of the aftermath (starting with the landmark studies of Alin (1969) and Desborough (1964) but the number of excavations of settlements rather than...

This study investigates the provenance and technology of pottery during the earlier Prepalatial period (EM I-EM IIB) in west Crete, using an integrated approach involving stylistic examination and archaeometric analysis. Although the stylistic particularities of the west Cretan Early Minoan assemblages have been acknowledged since the 1960s, there has been no attempt to assess and interpret the differences, and integrate this part of Crete into the broader picture of the Prepalatial period. Due...

Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines Çatalhöyük as a case study.
