The Nordic razor and the Mycenaean lifestyle

Flemming Kaul Antiquity 87:336 (June 2013): 461-472.

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

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.

Material versus Design. A Transcultural Approach to the Two Contrasting Properties of Things

Diamantis Panagiotopoulos Transcultural Studies 2013 (1): 47-79.

In the pre-globalization era, foreign objects acquired high social value due to their exotic character, relative inaccessibility, and distant origin.
