ΠΕΡΙΦEΡΕΙΑ. Étude régionale de la Crète aux Minoen Récent II-IIIB (1450-1200 av. J.-C.). 1. La Crète centrale et occidentale

Charlotte Langohr Louvain-la-Neuve 2009

ΠΕΡΙΦEΡΕΙΑ. Étude régionale de la Crète aux Minoen Récent II-IIIB (1450-1200 av. J.-C.). 1. La Crète centrale et occidentale À la croisée de l’Âge d'or de la civilisation minoenne et de l'Âge du Fer, les 250 ans d'histoire de la société crétoise couverts par cet ouvrage représentent une période encore fortement débattue (1450-1200 av. J.-C.). Cette problématique historique spécifique, résumée sous l’appellation de « Crète mycénienne », s’est longtemps concentrée sur le site majeur de Knossos et les relations variées entre les sociétés complexes de la Crète et de la Grèce continentale.

Excavations at Sissi. Preliminary Report on the 2007-2008 Campaigns

J. Driessen, I. Schoep, F. Carpentier, I. Crevecoeur, M. Devolder, F. Gaignerot-Driessen, H. Fiasse, P. Hacıgüzeller, S. Jusseret, C. Langohr, Q. Letesson & A. Schmitt Louvain-la-Neuve 2009

Excavations at Sissi. Preliminary Report on the 2007-2008 Campaigns During 2007 and 2008, the Belgian School at Athens undertook its first ever excavation on Crete, at the Minoan site of Sissi on the north coast of the island. Located at a few kilometres from the palatial site of Malia, the Sissi settlement presents a unique test case to examine the relationship between a palace site and its hinterland during the Bronze Age (2600-1250 BC).

Die Synchronisierung der nördlichen Levante und Kilikiens mit der ägäischen Spätbronzezeit

Tobias Mühlenbruch Wien 2009

Die Synchronisierung der nördlichen Levante und Kilikiens mit der ägäischen Spätbronzezeit For several decades we know quite a lot of sites in the northern Levant which yield Aegean finds, especially Mycenaean pottery and figurines. This study contains a catalogue of Mycenaean pottery, imported as well as locally made, found in Syria, the Lebanon and Cilicia in undisturbed contexts. These are of particular importance for the synchronization with sites in Southern Greece. There, the typology of the Mycenaean pottery is ensured by several settlement sequences.

Die geometrische Keramik von Kap Kolonna

Veronika Jarosch-Reinholdt Wien 2009

Die geometrische Keramik von Kap Kolonna The Protogeometric and Geometric pottery presented in this volume was mainly found on the Kolonna Hill, a cape protruding into the sea in front of the island of Aigina, bearing a settlement from Neolithic times onwards. The high quantities of Protogeometric pottery indicate that the acropolis of Cape Kolonna, which was abandoned during the Late Mycenaean times, was resettled in the 10th century B.C. It is apparent that the inhabitants of Aigina had close relations with Athens from the beginning, independent of their transmitted Doric descent, as the decorated ceramic fine wares have been almost exclusively imported from there.

The Master of Animals in Old World Iconography

Edited by Derek B. Counts & Bettina Arnold Budapest 2010

The Master of Animals in Old World Iconography Old World iconography from the Upper Paleolithic to the Christian era consistently features symbolic representations of both female and male protagonists in conflict with, accompanied by or transmuted partly or completely into, animals. Adversarial relationships are made explicit through hunting and sacrifice scenes, including heraldic compositions featuring a central figure grasping beasts arrayed on either side, while more implicit expressions are manifested in zoomorphic attributes (horns, headdresses, skins, etc.) and composite or hybrid figures that blend animal and human elements into a single image.

Archaic State Interaction. The Eastern Mediterranean in the Bronze Age

Edited by William A. Parkinson & Michael L. Galaty Santa Fe, New Mexico 2010

Archaic State Interaction. The Eastern Mediterranean in the Bronze Age In current archaeological research the failure to find common ground between world-systems theory believers and their counterparts has resulted in a stagnation of theoretical development in regards to modeling how early state societies interacted with their neighbors. This book is an attempt to redress these issues. By shifting the theoretical focus away from questions of state evolution to state interaction, the authors develop anthropological models for understanding how ancient states interacted with one another and with societies of different scales of economic and political organization.

Contrôle économique et administration à l’époque des palais mycéniens (fin du IIe millénaire av. J.-C.)

Françoise Rougemont Athens 2009

Contrôle économique et administration à l’époque des palais mycéniens (fin du IIe millénaire av. J.-C.) This book examines the economic control and the administration in Greece at the time of the Mycenaean palaces (texts dating to between ca. 1450 and 1200 BC). It relies primarily on the inscribed tablets discovered in the palaces and proposes a synthesis of the main aspects of the subject: the scribes (responsible for the book-keeping) and the organisation of the archives, the administrative geography, the taxation system, the administration of personnel, the control of land, the relationship between palatial administration and sanctuaries, the degree of palatial involvement in trade, as well as the use of palace functionaries or local dignitaries in procedures of economic control.

Minoan Kingship and the Solar Goddess. A Near Eastern Koine

Nanno Marinatos Urbana 2010

Minoan Kingship and the Solar Goddess. A Near Eastern Koine Ancient Minoan culture has been typically viewed as an ancestor of classical Greek civilization, but this book shows that Minoan Crete was on the periphery of a powerfully dynamic cultural interchange with its neighbors. Rather than viewing Crete as the autochthonous ancestor of Greece’s glory, Nanno Marinatos considers ancient Crete in the context of its powerful competitors to the east and south.
