An Archaeology of Prehistoric Bodies & Embodied Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean

Maria Mina, Sevi Triantaphyllou & Yiannis Papadatos (επιμέλεια) Oxford 2016

An Archaeology of Prehistoric Bodies & Embodied Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean In these 28 thematically arranged papers, specialists in the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean confront the perceived invisibility of past bodies and ask new research questions. Contributors discuss new and old evidence; they examine how bodies intersect with the material world, and explore the role of body-situated experiences in creating distinct social and other identities.

Egialea. Ricerche nella Valle del Krios

Angela Pontrandolfo in collaborazione con Michalis Petropoulos & Athanasios D. Rizakis Ρώμη 2016

Egialea. Ricerche nella Valle del Krios The institutions decided to start a systematic survey of the Eastern part of the territory now corresponding to the ancient Aegialeia and, since the area between Aigeira and Pellene belongs today to Corinthia, the investigation began from the valley of the Krios, which flows on the west of Aigeira. This volume is a collection of the results of surveys and intrasite excavations conducted in the first four years in the areas corresponding to the theoretical transects that concern both sides of the low and middle valley of the river.

Προϊστορική Θήρα

Χρίστος Ντούμας Αθήνα 2016

Προϊστορική Θήρα Οι εμπορικές συναλλαγές των Θηραίων θαλασσοπόρων με τη Μεσόγειο και τον κόσμο της Ανατολής απέφεραν μεγάλο πλούτο, που λάμπρυνε την πόλη του Ακρωτηρίου με μνημειώδη δημόσια και ιδιωτικά οικοδομήματα και συνέβαλε στην άνθηση μιας παραστατικής τέχνης με επίκεντρο τον άνθρωπο και το περιβάλλον του. Εκείνο δε που καθιστά το Ακρωτήρι μοναδικό στον κόσμο, είναι οι τοιχογραφίες του. Για το λόγο αυτόν, ο αναγνώστης του τόμου Προϊστορική Θήρα έχει ένα μοναδικό προνόμιο, καθώς παρουσιάζονται στις σελίδες του, για πρώτη φορά, αποκατεστημένα έργα, τοιχογραφίες και κεραμική που δεν εκτίθενται στο μουσείο.

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age

Margaretha Kramer-Hajos Νέα Υόρκη 2016

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World. Palace and Province in the Late Bronze Age Drawing on network and agency theory, two current and highly effective methodologies in prehistoric Mediterranean archaeology, Kramer-Hajos argues that the Euboean Gulf region thrived when it was part of a decentralized coastal and maritime network, and declined when it was incorporated in a highly centralized mainland-looking network. Her research and analysis contributes new insights to our understanding of the mechanics and complexity of the Bronze Age Aegean collapse.

Petras, Siteia I. A Minoan Palatial Settlement in Eastern Crete. Excavations of Houses I.1 and I.2

Metaxia Tsipopoulou (επιμέλεια) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2016

Petras, Siteia I. A Minoan Palatial Settlement in Eastern Crete. Excavations of Houses I.1 and I.2 This volume is the first of two that represent the final publication of Sector I of the Prepalatial to Postpalatial Minoan urban settlement and palace of Petras, Siteia, located in eastern Crete, and it presents the results of the excavations conducted there from 1985 to 2000. Individual chapters focus on the architecture (Tsipopoulou), cooking wares (Alberti), Early Minoan (EM) and Middle Minoan (MM) I pottery (Relaki), a unique example of an EM–MM amphora stamped with a seal prior to firing (Krzyszkowska), numerous miniature vessels and figurines (Simandiraki-Grimshaw), and a study of vessels (primarily Neopalatial) with potter’s marks (Tsipopoulou).

Metaphysis. Ritual, Myth and Symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age

Eva Alram-Stern, Fritz Blakolmer, Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy, Robert Laffineur & Jörg Weilhartner (επιμέλεια) Leuven-Liege 2016

Metaphysis. Ritual, Myth and Symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age At the METAPHYSIS conference a large range of issues of ritual, myth and symbolism in the Aegean Bronze Age were addressed, such as ritual places and ritual landscapes, sacral and sepulchral rituals, social and political ceremonies, ritual acts and performances, the supernatural realm, liminality, irrationality and magic, mythology, hybrid creatures, heroes/heroines, divinities, symbols, emblems and iconography, images of power, and cosmology. Thus, META-PHYSIS was dedicated to the complex relationship between humans and ‘the other’ - the broad scholarly interface between a popular ritual belief and the cult of deities, i.e. religion in its proper sense.

Seals, Craft and Community in Bronze Age Crete

Emily S. K. Anderson Νέα Υόρκη 2016

Seals, Craft and Community in Bronze Age Crete Emily Anderson turns light on the moment just before the palaces, recognizing it as a remarkably vibrant phase of socio-cultural innovation. Exploring the role of craftspersons, travelers and powerful objects, she argues that social change resulted from creative work that forged connections at new scales and in novel ways.

A New York Aegean Bronze Age Colloquium in Memory of Ellen N. Davis

Robert B. Koehl (επιμ.) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2016

A New York Aegean Bronze Age Colloquium in Memory of Ellen N. Davis In the area of metalwork, several papers investigate interconnections within and around the Aegean during the Early, Middle, and Late Bronze Ages (Betancourt, Ferrence, and Muhly, Weingarten, Kopcke), while others examine metal ware in its social context (Wiener). Papers on wall painting range from studies of pigments and optical illusions (Vlachopoulos), to representations of water (Shank). Anthropomorphic representations, or their absence, of goddesses or priestesses (Jones), rulers (Palaima), or initiates (Koehl) are also studied here with new eyes and fresh insights.

ACHAIOS: Studies Presented to Professor Thanasis I. Papadopoulos

Evangelia Papadopoulou-Chrysikopoulou, Vassilis Chrysikopoulos & Gioulika Christakopoulou (επιμέλεια) Oxford 2016

ACHAIOS: Studies Presented to Professor Thanasis I. Papadopoulos The origins, as well as the interconnections of the Mycenaeans with other civilizations, were always of great interest to Prof. Papadopoulos. This honorary volume expands to diverse eras, from Neolithic to Byzantine times, following Mycenaean paths that lead even to the distant East: to Egypt, whose culture Prof. Papadopoulos taught for many years at Ioannina University, and to Jordan, where he excavated for more than 10 years.

Of Odysseys and Oddities. Scales and Modes of Interaction between Prehistoric Aegean Societies and Their Neighbours

Barry P. C. Molloy (επιμέλεια) Oxford 2016

Of Odysseys and Oddities. Scales and Modes of Interaction between Prehistoric Aegean Societies and Their Neighbours The 17 contributions reflect on tensions at the core of how we consider interaction in archaeology, particularly the motivations and mechanisms leading to social and material encounters or displacements. Linked to this are the ways we conceptualise spatial and social entities in past societies (scales) and how we learn about who was actively engaged in interaction and how and why they were (modes).
