Minoans
Author: Rodney Castleden
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134880642
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Thoroughly researched, Rodney Castleden's Minoans: Life in Bronze Age Crete here sues the results of recent research to produce a comprehensive new vision of the peoples of Minoan Crete. Since Sir Arthur Evans rediscovered the Minoans in the early 1900s, we have defined a series of cultural traits that make the ‘Minoan personality’: elegant, graceful and sophisticated, these nature lovers lived in harmony with their neighbours, while their fleets ruled the seas around Crete. This, at least, is the popular view of the Minoans. But how far does the later work of archaeologists in Crete support this view? Drawing on his experience of being actively involved in research on landscapes processes and prehistory for the last twenty years, Castleden writes clearly and accessibly to provide a text essential to the study of this fascinating subject.

Negotiating Island Identities
Author: Ina Berg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Negotiating Island Identities explores the history of interaction between Crete and the Cycladic islands from the late Middle to Late Bronze II periods when Minoan influence was at its peak. Based on a thorough investigation of pottery assemblages from key sites, the book advocates a rethink of established acculturation scenarios (such as "Minoanisation") in relation to the Cycladic islands. Openness or closure towards outside influences was not predetermined by cultural, geographical or ecological variables but was socially constructed. Island communities could consciously fashion their worlds and make choices about the nature and degree of interaction with their neighbours.

The Discovery of the Greek Bronze Age
Author: J. Lesley Fitton
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The classical Greeks sought their own origins in legends of gods and heroes, but it was not until the 19th century, with the emergence of the discipline of archaeology, that the evidence of material culture could be used to form an image of the earliest societies in Greek lands. Only in the last 125 years have the Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenaean peoples been brought to light, and an elaborate framework of dates, styles, periods and events have been constructed to enable us to understand the Aegean Bronze Age. Where have these facts come from, and how accurately do they actually describe a remote period from which there is no written history?

Minoan Realities
Author: Diamantis Panagiotopoulos
Publisher: Presses univ. de Louvain
ISBN: 2875881000
Category : Architecture, Minoan
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
What is the social role of images and architecture in a pre-modern society? How were they used to create adequate environments for specific profane and ritual activities? In which ways did they interact with each other? These and other crucial issues on the social significance of imagery and built structures in Neopalatial Crete were the subject of a workshop which took place on November 16th, 2009 at the University of Heidelberg. The papers presented in the workshop are collected in the present volume. They provide different approaches to this complex topic and are aimed at a better understanding of the formation, role, and perception of images and architecture in a very dynamic social landscape. The Cretan Neopalatial period saw a rapid increase in the number of palaces and 'villas', characterized by elaborate designs and idiosyncratic architectural patterns which were themselves in turn generated by a pressing desire for a distinctive social and performative environment.

The Civilization of Greece in the Bronze Age (1928)
Author: H.R. Hall
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429870361
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
First published in 1928, this volume contains six sequential lectures delivered by H.R. Hall in 1923 detailing the archaeological remains of Bronze Age Greece. Hall was keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities in the British Museum and author of ‘The Ancient History of the Near East’. Each of the author’s lectures was strictly chronological, with the main feature of each period being described in order. The profuse illustrations recreated here were fundamental to his view, with each Age defined through its art, pottery and stone carvings. These printed lectures follow their spoken counterparts closely and are brought to life with 320 illustrations inserted in places which reflect the original performances.
