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

Clairy Palyvou Philadelphia 2018

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

Edited by Yannis Galanakis, Anastasia Christophilopoulou & James Grime Cambridge 2017

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.

Palaikastro: Building 1

J. A. MacGillivray & L. H. Sackett London 2019

This book presents the publication of Building 1, the first building we excavated (in the years 1986-89) and surely once the finest in its day. It is not the first volume in the series, and indeed follows the publication of the partially excavated Building 2, and Block M/Building 6.

me-ka-ro-de. Mykenische Paläste als Dokument und Gestaltungsrahmen frühgeschichtlicher Sozialordnung

Ulrich Thaler Bonn 2018

Although architecture provides a decisive framework for many forms of social interaction, thus preconfiguring them, and simultaneously represents an expression and hence a product of social conventions, few connections have thus far been made between the scholarly study of architecture and the social history of Mycenaean Greece.

Mykene. Die sagenhafte Welt des Agamemnon

2018

Die mykenische Kultur gilt als erste Hochkultur auf dem europäischen Festland. Auf der griechischen Halbinsel Peloponnes und in Mittelgriechenland erlebte sie ihren Höhepunkt zwischen 1600 und 1200 v. Chr. Heinrich Schliemann entdeckte ab 1874 durch seine Ausgrabungen in Mykene, Tiryns und Orchomenos diese prähistorische Kultur.

Subsistenz und Macht. Palatiale und elitäre Vorratschaltung auf Kreta während der Alt- und Neupalastzeit

Torben Keẞler Köthen 2017

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.

Edited by Jack L. Davis & John Bennet Princeton 2017
