The Minoan Santorini eruption and tsunami deposits in Palaikastro (Crete): Dating by geology, archaeology, 14C, and Egyptian chronology

Hendrik J. Bruins, Johannes van der Plicht & J. Alexander MacGillivray Radiocarbon 51.2 (September 2009): 397-411.

Deposits from the Minoan Santorini (Thera) eruption in the eastern Mediterranean region constitute the most important regional stratigraphic marker in the chronological perplexity of the 2nd millennium BC. Extensive tsunami deposits were discovered in Crete at the Minoan archaeological site of Palaikastro, containing reworked volcanic Santorini ash. Hence, airborne deposition of volcanic ash, probably during the 1st (Plinian) eruption phase, preceded the tsunami, which was apparently generated during the 3rd or 4th phase of the eruption, based on evidence from Thera.

A Reappraisal of the dendrochronology and dating of Tille Höyük (1993)

Carol B. Griggs & Sturt W. Manning Radiocarbon 51.2 (September 2009): 711-720.

The results of a tentative oak tree-ring chronology built from charcoal samples found in Late Bronze to early Iron Age contexts (late 2nd to early 1st millennium BC) at the site of Tille Höyük in southeast Turkey, and its placement in time, was published in 1993 (Summers 1993).

Minoan Architecture: Materials and Techniques

J.W. Shaw Padova

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.

Excavations at Politiko Kokkinorotsos. A Chalcolithic hunting station in Cyprus

Jennifer M. Webb, David Frankel, Paul Croft & Carole McCartney Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 75 (2009): 189-237.

Recent excavations at a small Chalcolithic site in central Cyprus show that it was occupied about 2880-2670 cal BC. Fallow deer form the major component of the substantial faunal sample: both these and other animals were hunted. The chipped stone, too, fits with a model of intensive meat exploitation

Ανάσκαμμα. Ανασκαφικό περιοδικό, τόμος 3, 2009

Το «Ανάσκαμμα» κυκλοφορεί, με τη φιλοδοξία να δώσει μια λύση στο πρόβλημα των ανασκαφών που χάνουν τα ευρήματά τους μέσα σε μυστηριώδη, απρόσιτα συρτάρια, αντί να τα χαρούν σε πολύχρωμες, προσιτές δημοσιεύσεις. Μια λύση που δεν είναι ούτε η μόνη ούτε η καλλίτερη. Είναι ωστόσο μια λύση, γιατί υπερβαίνει σκόπιμα το λάθος του «ναρκοπεδίου», με το οποίο παρομοιάζεται, και πολύ σωστά, μια ανασκαφή, αφού το πρώτο λάθος του ανασκαφέα είναι και το τελευταίο. Υπερβαίνει, επίσης, αυτό που λένε πολλοί, ότι μια ανασκαφή στην πραγματικότητα είναι «καταστροφή».

Knossos & the Prophets of Modernism

Cathy Gere Chicago

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.

The Minoans in the Central, Eastern and Northern Aegean — New Evidence. Acts of a Minoan Seminar 22-23 January 2005 in Collaboration with the Danish Institute at Athens and the German Archaeological Institute at Athens The two-day seminar, which took place on 22-23 January 2005 at the German Archaeological Institute at Athens, gathered archaeologists of the Aegean (Greek, Turkish and other nationalities) who were involved in publishing material from sites that displayed evidence for a greater or lesser ‘Minoan presence’.
