Konstantinos Chalikias & Emilia Oddo (επιμέλεια) Philadelphia 2019

Exploring a Terra Incognita on Crete. Recent Research on Bronze Age Habitation in the Southern Ierapetra Isthmus This book brings together for the first time scholars working on the Bronze Age settlement patterns and material culture of the southern Ierapetra Isthmus, a region that actively participated in the coastal and maritime trade networks of East Crete. During the past few decades, while various archaeological projects focused on the northern isthmus, the Ierapetra area remained largely neglected and unknown, a terra incognita.

Restoring the Minoans. Elizabeth Price and Sir Arthur Evans

Jennifer Y. Chi (επιμέλεια) Princeton & Oxford 2017

Restoring the Minoans. Elizabeth Price and Sir Arthur Evans How do archaeologists and artists reimagine what life was like during the Greek Bronze Age? How do contemporary conditions influence the way we understand the ancient past? This innovative book considers two imaginative restorations of the ancient world that test the boundaries of interpretation and invention by bringing together the discovery of Minoan culture by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and the work of the Turner Prize–winning video artist Elizabeth Price (b. 1966).

Ο μυκηναϊκός πολιτισμός

Ντόρα Βασιλικού Αθήνα 2019

Ο μυκηναϊκός πολιτισμός H πρώτη έκδοση του Μυκηναϊκού Πολιτισμού (1995), της Ντόρας Βασιλικού, κάλυψε το «αισθητά κενό» που υπήρχε στη βιβλιογραφία και είχε επισημάνει ο Σπύρος Ιακωβίδης στον πρόλογό του. Με το πέρασμα ενός τετάρτου του αιώνος συσσωρεύτηκε πολλή και σημαντική νέα γνώση, που έκαναν αναγκαία την ανασύνταξη και αύξηση του κειμένου και της εικονογράφησης του βιβλίου.

Understanding Relations between Scripts. The Aegean Writing Systems

Philippa M. Steele (επιμέλεια) Oxford & Philadelphia 2017

Understanding Relations between Scripts. The Aegean Writing Systems Understanding Relations Between Scripts: The Aegean Writing Systems arises from a conference held in Cambridge in 2015. The question of how writing systems are related to each other, and how we can study those relationships, has not been studied in detail and this volume aims to fill a gap in scholarship by presenting a number of case studies focused on the writing systems of the Bronze Age Aegean.

From Cooking Vessels to Cultural Practices in the Late Bronze Age Aegean

Julie Hruby & Debra Trusty (επιμέλεια) Oxford 2017

From Cooking Vessels to Cultural Practices in the Late Bronze Age Aegean Late Bronze Age Aegean cooking vessels illuminate prehistoric cultures, foodways, social interactions, and communication systems. While many scholars have focused on the utility of painted fineware vessels for chronological purposes, the contributors to this volume maintain that cooking wares have the potential to answer not only chronological but also economic, political, and social questions when analysed and contrasted with assemblages from different sites or chronological periods.

Daidalos at Work. A Phenomenological Approach to the Study of Minoan Architecture

Clairy Palyvou Philadelphia 2018

Daidalos at Work. A Phenomenological Approach to the Study of Minoan Architecture The Bronze Age was a time of affluence and innovation for Crete, a unique "moment" in the early history of architecture that, in a bizarre way, seems to echo the formative years of the Modern world of the 20th century AD. The mythical Daidalos, with his many attributes and tasks, stands for the prototpye of “an architect at work” following orders and desires set by his clients and by society.

Codebreakers and Groundbreakers

Yannis Galanakis, Anastasia Christophilopoulou & James Grime (επιμέλεια) Cambridge 2017

Codebreakers and Groundbreakers Secret texts and secret writing have an age-old fascination. In this hook two stories are told: of the people who worked on breaking vital codes in the Second World War and those who deciphered the Linear B script – Europe’s earliest comprehensible writing system. Here experts in the fields of Mycenaean epigraphy and the study of the Aegean Bronze Age join with fellow specialists in mathematics, cryptography and the history of computer.
