Minoan Architecture: Materials and Techniques

J.W. Shaw Padova 2009

Minoan Architecture: Materials and Techniques This book has been written with the aim of providing a guide, for students and profes­sional archaeologists alike, to the building materials used by the ‘Minoans’ and the techniques they used to prepare and set them into place. It often focuses on the finer buildings discov­ered, thus on the architectural style characterizing the Minoan «Palaces» and the houses of the affluent.

Der frühbronzezeitliche Schmuckhortfund von Kap Kolonna. Ägina und die Ägäis im Goldzeitalter des 3. Jahrtausends v. Chr.

Claus Reinholdt Wien 2008

Der frühbronzezeitliche Schmuckhortfund von Kap Kolonna. Ägina und die Ägäis im Goldzeitalter des 3. Jahrtausends v. Chr.

The jewellery hoard excavated under the floor of an Early Bronze Age house-unit in the prehistoric settlement of Cape Kolonna/Aigina represents in many ways an exceptional collection still unique in the central Aegean of the late third millenium B.C. The material consists of precious metals (gold, silver) and several nonmetallic valuable objects (carnalian, rock-crystal, frit) and belongs to a secondary hoard of pins, pendants and beads, partly bent for the deposit context (pins).

Knossos & the Prophets of Modernism

Cathy Gere Chicago 2009

Knossos & the Prophets of Modernism In the spring of 1900, British archaeologist Arthur Evans began to excavate the palace of Knossos on Crete, bringing ancient Greek legends to life just as a new century dawned amid far-reaching questions about human history, art, and culture. Over the next three decades, Evans engaged in an unprecedented reconstruction project, creating a complex of concrete buildings on the site that owed at least as much to modernist architecture as it did to Bronze Age remains.

Aegean Metallurgy in the Bronze Age. Proceedings of an International Symposium held at the University of Crete, Rethymnon, Greece, on November 19-21, 2004

Edited by Iris Tzachili Athens 2008

Aegean Metallurgy in the Bronze Age. Proceedings of an International Symposium held at the University of Crete, Rethymnon, Greece, on November 19-21, 2004 The jigsaw puzzle of the metallurgy and metalworking of the Aegean is slowly being completed. It is being filled in by new finds, new methods, and analyses that point to new possibilities. The pieces of the puzzle are still difficult to assemble: our knowledge is frequently fragmented, both geographically and chronologically.

Leslie Preston Day, Nancy L. Klein & Lee Ann Turner contributions by Heidi Dierckx, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton, Geraldine C. Gesell, David S. Reese, and Lynn Snyder Philadelphia, Pa. 2009

Kavousi IIA: The Late Minoan IIIC Settlement at Vronda. The Buildings on the Summit This volume is the second in the series of final reports on the work of the Kavousi Project and the first volume on the cleaning (1982–1984) and excavations (1987–1992) at the mountain sites located above the modern village of Kavousi in eastern Crete. These sites, Vronda and the Kastro, shed light on the Early Iron Age, the transitional period in Cretan history known popularly as the Dark Ages, thereby elucidating the way of life of the people who lived in the area of Kavousi during that period and how their culture changed over time.

Prehistoric Corfu and its adjacent areas. Problems – perspectives. Proceedings of the Conference dedicated to Augustus Sordinas; Corfu, 17 December 2004

Edited by Garyfalia Arvanitou-Metallinou Corfu 2007

Prehistoric Corfu and its adjacent areas. Problems – perspectives. Proceedings of the Conference dedicated to Augustus Sordinas; Corfu, 17 December 2004

Corfu is most notably known for the important role it has played in the sea routes to the West since the 8th century B.C.; over the past decades, excavation finds have helped analyse its presence, both materially as well as institutio¬nally. Until recently, prehistoric research in the island has been led exclusively by professor Augustus Sordinas.
