Understanding Relations between Scripts. The Aegean Writing Systems

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

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

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.

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.

Köthen 2017

Subsistenz und Macht. Palatiale und elitäre Vorratschaltung auf Kreta während der Alt- und Neupalastzeit Die minoischen Paläste waren multifunktionale Zentren, denen auch in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht eine grundlegende Bedeutung zukam. Der Begriff der Redistribution war bisher prägend zur Beschreibung der minoischen Wirtschaft: Man ging davon aus, dass Güter an zentraler Stelle gesammelt und sodann an die Bevölkerung zurückverteilt wurden – auch Grundnahrungsmittel.
