Die goldenen Siegelringen der Ägäischen Bronzezeit

Nadine Becker Heidelberg 2018

Die goldenen Siegelringen der Ägäischen Bronzezeit The aim of the present work is to present a comprehensive survey of the genre of Minoan and Mycenaean signet rings in its chronological, technical and iconographic development. The study of the material faces two main problems: First, seal images of supposedly religious content have always been a vividly discussed subject of research, while signet rings with allegedly lesser pictographical potential were (and still are) significantly underrepresented in the literature.

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

Clairy Palyvou Philadelphia 2018

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