The Dams and Water Management Systems of Minoan Pseira

Philip P. Betancourt Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2012

The Dams and Water Management Systems of Minoan Pseira When the Temple University archaeological project was excavating at the Bronze Age seaport on Pseira Island and Richard Hope Simpson discovered two massive stone and soil dams that were built in the middle of the second millennium B.C., we knew we had opened a new chapter in prehistoric engineering and water management.

Cypro-Minoan Inscriptions volume 1: Analysis

Silvia Ferrara Oxford/New York 2012

Cypro-Minoan Inscriptions volume 1: Analysis This volume offers the first comprehensive examination of an ancient writing system from Cyprus and Syria known as Cypro-Minoan. After Linear B was deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, other un-deciphered scripts of the second millennium B.C. from the Aegean world (Linear A) and the Eastern Mediterranean (Cypro-Minoan) became the focus of those trying to crack this ancient and historical code. Despite several attempts for both syllabaries, this prospect has remained unrealized.

“The Greeks: Whence and When?”. The mainstream scientific responses and the present state of research on the first beginning of the Greek civilisation (in Greek)

Theodoros G. Giannopoulos Heraklion 2012

“The Greeks: Whence and When?”. The mainstream scientific responses and the present state of research on the first beginning of the Greek civilisation (in Greek) When does the Greek culture begin? How can we methodologically define its starting-point and locate it in time? To which times and which processes should we trace back the origins of the Greeks of historical antiquity? The present book is a scientific as well as a writing enterprise.

The Minoan Double Axe. An experimental study of production and use

Maria Lowe Fri Oxford 2011

The Minoan Double Axe. An experimental study of production and use This study investigates the double axe as a tool in Crete during the Minoan period. Previous scholars have attributed the double axe to the equipment of a woodworker, a carpenter, a stonemason and a butcher. The working activities performed by the different users plausibly would have left various kinds of use-wear on the axe, but this has not been studied until now.

Early Thermos. New Excavations 1992-2003

I.A. Papapostolou Athens 2012

Early Thermos. New Excavations 1992-2003 My interest in Thermos goes back to the time when I served as Ephor of Antiquities for Achaia and Aitoloakarnania (1976-1983). It was my obligation to deal with archaeological matters of that site, such as the arrangement of the agora. Thus, when, in 1983, at the request of the Archaeological Society in Athens, I undertook the continuation of the excavation of Thermos, which had been con­ducted by Rhomaios until 1932, I began with the agora.

It records the ethnic name of the town's citizens together with authorities and political institutions accountable to the state, which was an autonomous polity (polis).

A Seismic History of Crete

Gerassimos A. Papadopoulos Athens 2011

A Seismic History of Crete The seismicity in Greece and in the adjacent regions is the highest in the Western Eurasia. One of the most active seismotectonic structures in that region is the Hellenic Arc and Trench (H-AT) system. The island of Crete occupies the central segment of H-AT just to the north of the front where the lithospheric plates of Africa and Eurasia converge and the former bends and subducts beneath the later.
