Building the Bronze Age. Architectural and Social Change on the Greek Mainland during Early Helladic III, Middle Helladic and Late Helladic I (2 vols)

Corien Wiersma Groningen 2013

Building the Bronze Age. Architectural and Social Change on the Greek Mainland during Early Helladic III, Middle Helladic and Late Helladic I (2 vols) The Early Helladic III (EH III) and Middle Helladic (MH) periods in Greece are assumed in the literature to be simple in terms of social organization and material remains. However, these periods have barely been the subject of detailed studies of social change. Domestic architecture and the level of the household in particular, have received little consideration.

Dating to 7000 B.C., it is the home of one of the earliest farming societies in southeastern Europe, and, in the later Bronze Age periods, it developed into a remarkable center of economic and social organization within the island, enjoying extensive relations with the Aegean, the Greek mainland, the Near East, and Egypt.

Edited by Sofia Voutsaki & Soultana Maria Valamoti Leuven 2013

Diet, Economy and Society in the Ancient Greek World. Towards a Better Integration of Archaeology and Science The last decades have witnessed the adoption and refinement of various scientific techniques that allow us to reconstruct past diets, but also to understand the role of food in social interaction. These are exciting developments, but the proliferation of analytical techniques may also lead to over-specialization and fragmentation of the field.

Individuals and Society in Mycenaean Pylos

Dimitri Nakassis Leiden, Boston 2013

The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context

Shelley Wachsmann College Station 2013

The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.

Philip P. Betancourt (with contributions by Kostas Chalikias, Heidi M.C. Dierckx, Andrew J. Koh, Evi Margaritis, Floyd W. McCoy, Eleni Nodarou & David S. Reese) Philadelphia 2013

Aphrodite’s Kephali: An Early Minoan I Defensive Site in Eastern Crete The small site of Aphrodite's Kephali, among several other Minoan and later sites, took advantage of the valley topography in the Isthmus of Ierapetra in eastern Crete by establishing themselves along the nearby hills, resulting in easy access to the natural trade route between the Aegean and the Libyan Seas. A discussion of the architecture, artifacts, and ecofacts are presented from the excavation of this Early Minoan I watchtower.
