Minoan Earthquakes. Breaking the Myth through Interdisciplinarity This volume, gathering the contributions of Minoan archaeologists, geologists, seismologists, palaeoseismologists, geophysicists, architects, and engineers, provides an up-to-date interdisciplinary appraisal of the role of earthquakes in Minoan society and in Minoan archaeology – what we know, what are the remaining issues, and where we need to go.

Human Mobility and Technological Transfer in the Prehistoric Mediterranean

Edited by Evangelia Kiriatzi & Carl Knappett Cambridge 2016

Human Mobility and Technological Transfer in the Prehistoric Mediterranean The diverse forms of regional connectivity in the ancient world have recently become an important focus for those interested in the deep history of globalisation. This volume represents a significant contribution to this new trend as it engages thematically with a wide range of connectivities in the later prehistory of the Mediterranean, from the later Neolithic of northern Greece to the Levantine Iron Age, and with diverse forms of materiality, from pottery and metal to stone and glass.

Maritime Transport Containers in the Bronze-Iron Age Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean

Edited by Stella Demesticha & Bernard A. Knapp Uppsala 2016

Maritime Transport Containers in the Bronze-Iron Age Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean The maritime transport of goods in bulk provides a clear indicator of many facets of trade, from networks and merchants to individual economic transactions. One of the key material factors involved is what we term the Maritime Transport Container (MTC), examples of which include the Canaanite jar, Transport Stirrup jar and Phoenician amphora, or more generally transport amphorae. Although studied systematically during later periods, the early phases in the development of MTCs are relatively obscure, because their maritime function and attributes are often overlooked.

Archaeology and Homeric Epic

Edited by Susan Sherratt & John Bennet Oxford & Philadelphia 2017

Archaeology and Homeric Epic Contributors explore a variety of issues including the relationships between visual and verbal imagery, the social contexts of epic (or sub-epic) creation or re-creation, the roles of bards and their relationships to different types of patrons and audiences, the construction and uses of ‘history’ as traceable through both epic and archaeology and the relationship between ‘prehistoric’ (oral) and 'historical' (recorded in writing) periods. Throughout, the emphasis is on context and its relevance to the creation, transmission, re-creation and manipulation of epic in the present (or near-present) as well as in the ancient Greek past.

Archaeology and Homeric Epic

Edited by Susan Sherratt & John Bennet Oxford & Philadelphia 2017 2017

Archaeology and Homeric Epic The relationship between the Homeric epics and archaeology has long suffered mixed fortunes, swinging between ‘fundamentalist’ attempts to use archaeology in order to demonstrate the essential historicity of the epics and their background, and outright rejection of the idea that archaeology is capable of contributing anything at all to our understanding and appreciation of the epics.

Margaretha Kramer-Hajos New York 2016

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World.
