Michigan 2017

Communities, Landscapes, and Interaction in Neolithic Greece. Proceedings of the International Conference, Rethymno 29-30 May, 2015 The last three decades have witnessed a period of growing archaeological activity in Greece that have enhanced our awareness of the diversity and variability of ancient communities. New sites offer rich datasets from many aspects of material culture that challenge traditional perceptions and suggest complex interpretations of the past.

Boeotia Project, Volume II: The City of Thespiai. Survey at a Complex Urban Site

Cambridge 2017

Boeotia Project, Volume II: The City of Thespiai. Survey at a Complex Urban Site Few major Classical cities have disappeared so completely from view, over the centuries, as Thespiai in Central Greece. Only the technique of intensive field survey, carefully adapted to a large urban site and reinforced by historical investigation, has made it possible to recover from oblivion much of its life of seven millennia.

From Maple to Olive: Proceedings of a Colloquium to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Institute in Greece. Athens, 10–11 June 2016

Αθήνα 2017

From Maple to Olive: Proceedings of a Colloquium to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Institute in Greece. Athens, 10–11 June 2016 In the 1990s, there were times when it appeared as though the then Canadian Archaeological Institute at Athens would not see the light of the new millennium. In 2015, with the now Canadian Institute in Greece’s 40th anniversary of its official recognition as one of the foreign archaeological schools and institutes by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture fast approaching, the authors thought it would be appropriate to celebrate this achievement with a colloquium.

The Earliest Production of Aegean-Type Pottery in Cyprus

Pisa 2017

The Earliest Production of Aegean-Type Pottery in Cyprus The outstanding feature of the shape of the three-handled jars which are the primary focus of this study (Shapes 46 and 47 in Furumark’s classification) is the conical or biconical body, sometimes with a rather angular shoulder. Probably used as ointment containers, these three-handled jars were relatively common in Cypriot tombs, especially at Enkomi, but no small jars of these shapes have been found in the Aegean.

Restoring the Minoans. Elizabeth Price and Sir Arthur Evans

Princeton & Oxford 2017

Restoring the Minoans. Elizabeth Price and Sir Arthur Evans How do archaeologists and artists reimagine what life was like during the Greek Bronze Age? How do contemporary conditions influence the way we understand the ancient past? This innovative book considers two imaginative restorations of the ancient world that test the boundaries of interpretation and invention by bringing together the discovery of Minoan culture by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and the work of the Turner Prize–winning video artist Elizabeth Price (b. 1966).

Understanding Relations between Scripts. The Aegean Writing Systems

Oxford & Philadelphia 2017

Understanding Relations between Scripts. The Aegean Writing Systems Understanding Relations Between Scripts: The Aegean Writing Systems arises from a conference held in Cambridge in 2015. The question of how writing systems are related to each other, and how we can study those relationships, has not been studied in detail and this volume aims to fill a gap in scholarship by presenting a number of case studies focused on the writing systems of the Bronze Age Aegean.

From Cooking Vessels to Cultural Practices in the Late Bronze Age Aegean

Oxford 2017

From Cooking Vessels to Cultural Practices in the Late Bronze Age Aegean Late Bronze Age Aegean cooking vessels illuminate prehistoric cultures, foodways, social interactions, and communication systems. While many scholars have focused on the utility of painted fineware vessels for chronological purposes, the contributors to this volume maintain that cooking wares have the potential to answer not only chronological but also economic, political, and social questions when analysed and contrasted with assemblages from different sites or chronological periods.

Codebreakers and Groundbreakers

Cambridge 2017

Codebreakers and Groundbreakers Secret texts and secret writing have an age-old fascination. In this hook two stories are told: of the people who worked on breaking vital codes in the Second World War and those who deciphered the Linear B script – Europe’s earliest comprehensible writing system. Here experts in the fields of Mycenaean epigraphy and the study of the Aegean Bronze Age join with fellow specialists in mathematics, cryptography and the history of computer.

Subsistenz und Macht. Palatiale und elitäre Vorratschaltung auf Kreta während der Alt- und Neupalastzeit

Köthen 2017

Subsistenz und Macht. Palatiale und elitäre Vorratschaltung auf Kreta während der Alt- und Neupalastzeit Die minoischen Paläste waren multifunktionale Zentren, denen auch in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht eine grundlegende Bedeutung zukam. Der Begriff der Redistribution war bisher prägend zur Beschreibung der minoischen Wirtschaft: Man ging davon aus, dass Güter an zentraler Stelle gesammelt und sodann an die Bevölkerung zurückverteilt wurden – auch Grundnahrungsmittel.

Oxford 2017

Bodies of Maize, Eaters of Grain. Comparing Material Worlds, Metaphor and the Agency of Art in the Preclassic Maya and Mycenaean Early Civilisations Bodies of Maize, Eaters of Grain provides a comparative study of the earliest urban civilizations of the Maya lowlands and the Greek mainland. It builds upon earlier comparative studies by Gordon Childe, Robert Adams and Bruce Trigger, extending their work into new directions. Specifically, the focus lies on the art styles of the Late Preclassic lowland Maya and Mycenaean Greece.
