Abstract:

Art History<br>M.A.<br>This study presents a preliminary examination of the pottery from Building Kappa, a recently excavated building on the citadel of Mycenae. Resulting from a formal detailed analysis of a portion of the recovered ceramic assemblage, this research corrects several errors recorded in notebooks at the time of excavation before the pottery was washed and studied. The excavated area of Building Kappa contained three different levels: Stratum 4/6, a deposit associated with the structure that shows it went out of use in the LH IIIB period; Level 3, a deposit consisting of baulks left unexcavated by early expeditions in the 1890's, which consists of an LH IIIC level from habitation near this area after the building went out of use; and Deposit 2beta, a modern backfill containing both Bronze Age and Hellenistic pottery that was spread across the site in modern times. The importance of the study is that it clarifies the stratigraphy of the area of Building Kappa and allows preliminary observations about the nature of the occupation at this location. More importantly, this research indicates the need for a more detailed examination of the remainder of the unstudied ceramic assemblage.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:

Art History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation examines trends in the production of pottery at Mycenae in the Late Helladic (LH) IIIC period (ca. 1200–1125 B.C.E) through the analysis of published ceramic material from the site. It includes my own study of select unpublished material from recent excavations on the Citadel (Building Kappa) and in the Lower Town. The LH IIIC period, considered the beginning of the Dark Ages in Greece, immediately followed the end of the Mycenaean palatial system, a phenomenon referred to as the Collapse. The Collapse is characterized by the complete destruction of many sites, possible loss of population, and a decrease in the number of occupied areas, and the subsequent LH IIIC period is associated with socioeconomic, demographic, and artistic decline. There are, however, notable indications of continued activity at many Greek mainland sites, a notable sign being the proliferation of elaborate vase painting. Through an examination of how certain pottery shapes and decorative styles were manufactured and utilized at LH IIIC Mycenae, key trends and developments can be discerned, and the changing preferences of the market for which these objects were produced can be understood. I conclude that these developments can be characterized as intentional responses of potters to the crisis that followed the demise of the palatial administration. Potters in LH IIIC were able to create and exploit a sustainable market, one that both reflected and influenced shifting political and social realities of communities now operating outside of a palace-dominated system; their advances would influence pottery production in Greece for centuries to come.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis examines the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age, i.e. the periods from Late Helladic IIIC (LHIIIC) to Protogeometric (PG) ( 1200-900 BC) in two areas of the Greek Mainland, the Argolid and Phokis-East Lokris. The Argolid, and in particular the Argive plain, which included among others the citadel of Mycenae, could be described as the core area of the Mycenaean world par excellence, while Phokis -East Lokris could be conventionally thought to belong to the Mycenaean periphery, since no palatial establishment was ever developed in the area. Through the comparative study of the evidence from the two areas, the different course of their post-palatial development is studied, and the factors that affected this development are carefully examined and discussed. In particular, the thesis investigates whether and how the different Mycenaean past of the two areas, and more specifically the different role of each one of them in the Mycenaean world affected their evolution in the period not only immediately after the palatial collapse but also in the transition to the Early Iron Age. The analysis of all the published evidence from LHIIIC to PG period (settlement remains, burials and cult evidence) offers a detailed view of the occupation of the areas in each phase of the transitional period and helps us gain a general, long-term understanding of settlement patterns, burial customs, cult practices and material culture. The study of continuity and changes in all these aspects also allows us to follow the socio-political evolution. In general, it is shown that the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age was experienced very differently in each of the two areas under examination. The long-term view of the evidence as adopted by the present study, bridges the divide that scholarly literature has created between the two eras, while at the same time places the two areas in the general context of the Aegean. It also takes into account the significant role that external factors such as trade contacts or population movements played in this crucial period. Overall, this study stresses the individuality of each area and of each site of the Greek mainland, and demonstrates the complex historical reality of the transitional period and its many different components. The final aim of the thesis is to enlighten the transformation process that two different areas of the Greek mainland underwent from the post-palatial times until the beginning of the Early Iron Age, a process believed to carry the seeds for the rise of the most typical political formation of ancient Greece, the polis.

Full text

Abstract:

Feasting has always been an important cultural activity in the Aegean Bronze Age; however, it is during the Mycenaean period in the Late Bronze Age when feasting appears to facilitate the elites' hold and manipulation of the social hierarchy. At this time, the palatial centers were the political, economic, and religious seats of the Mycenaean world, used to host particular feasting events tied to religious ritual. The feast was a dynamic event that associated the elite with religious ritual in the form of a procession and sacrifice as the iconography of the Pylian frescoes, textual evidence from the Linear B tablets, and archaeological evidence suggests. These events, for the most part, seem to have been inclusive while certain parts were more selective regarding who could participate. This further distinguished the Mycenaean elites in front of a wider audience of individuals and subjects attending the feast and associated events, working to maintain stability in the social hierarchy. The built environment was particularly important for distinguishing those participating in feasting events as it added to the event's grandeur with the monumentality of the space, and restricted those able to participate with regard to smaller locales that had a low capacity and narrower entryways preventing accessibility. With Mycenae and Pylos as case studies, this research uses spatial analyses to see how inclusive potential feasting locales were.

Abstract:

It is now widely acknowledged that the Greek epic tradition, best known from Homer, dates back into the Mycenaean Age, and that certain aspects of epic language point to an origin for this type of verse before the date of the extant Linear B tablets. This thesis argues that not only is this so, but that indeed before the end of the Mycenaean Age epic verse was composed in a distinctive literary language characterized by the presence of alternative forms used for metrical convenience. Such alternatives included dialectal variants and forms which were retained in epic once obsolete in everyday speech. Thus epic language in the 2nd millennium already possessed some of the most distinctive characteristics manifest in its Homeric incarnation, namely the presence of doublets and the retention of archaisms. It is argued here that the most probable source for accretions to epic language was at all times the spoken language familiar to the poets of the tradition. There is reason to believe that certain archaic forms, attested only in epic and its imitators, were obsolete in spoken Greek before 1200 B.C.; by examining formulae containing such forms it is possible to determine the likely subject-matter of 2nd millennium epic. Such a linguistic analysis leads to the conclusion that much of the thematic content of Homeric epic corresponds to that of 2nd millennium epic. Non-Homeric early dactylic verse (e.g. the Hesiodic corpus) provides examples of both non-Homeric dialect forms and of archaisms unknown from Homer. This fact, it is argued, points to the conclusion that the 2nd millennium linguistic heritage of epic is evident also from these poems, and that they are not simply imitations of Homer, but independent representatives of the same poetic tradition whose roots lie in the 2nd millennium epic.

Abstract:

The present research was conducted. with the aim of better understanding of Linear B texts through the help of the Near Eastern parallels. The method chosen was the comparison between individual texts and groups of texts and not between the 'models' reconstructed for this or that society. Several restrictions for such a comparison were set up. The comparison itself was limited to the problems of manpower (lists of personnel, ration lists, land-surveys). The best parallels for Mycenaean records of work-teams (male and female) were found among the Sumerian documents from the period of the Third Dynasty of Ur, for the quotas of conscripts from specific villages - in Ugarit, and for the texts dealing with the land tenure and the organisation of the cultic personnel - among the Hittite cuneiform texts and Luwian hieroglyphic Kululu lead strips. The attempt was made to reconstruct the structure of the productive population in Mycenaean Greece and to find its place among other societies of the Ancient World.

Abstract:

Espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs) são produzidas normalmente durante o metabolismo de organismos aeróbios. Fungos degradadores de lignina geram estas espécies também no processo de degradação da lignina. As espécies de fungos bioluminescentes Gerronema viridilucens e Mycena lucentipes foram utilizadas para se estabelecer possível dependência entre intensidade de bioluminescência, viabilidade celular e atividades das enzimas de defesa antioxidante e ligninolíticas nos micélios e corpos de frutificação. Verificou-se o efeito de espécies causadoras de estresse químico (metais e fenóis) na emissão de luz, viabilidade celular, defesas antioxidantes e enzimas de respiração celular no fungo bioluminescente G. viridilucens, com o objetivo de conectar a inibição da bioluminescência com danos oxidativos ao organismo. Constatou-se que diferentes espécies de fungos bioluminescentes podem apresentar características diferentes quanto à emissão de luz e proteção antioxidante. Diferenças na intensidade e variação temporal da emissão de luz de diferentes espécies foram observadas nos corpos de frutificação e também no micélio. Isto foi revelado pela irregularidade do perfil de luz reprodutível para a espécie M. lucentipes, ao contrário do observado para G. viridilucens. A viabilidade celular de ambas as espécies varia com o tempo, sendo que no caso de G. viridilucens seu perfil é similar ao da bioluminescência. Os ensaios enzimáticos indicam maior atividade no micélio dos fungos do que nos corpos de frutificação, provavelmente pela função específica reprodutora do corpo de frutificação, enquanto a atividade metabólica do fungo está concentrada no micélio. As enzimas ligninolíticas também apresentam atividade baixa nas culturas estudadas, provavelmente por serem enzimas de degradação extracelulares. O fato de ambas viabilidade celular e bioluminescência do micélio serem reduzidas na presença dos metais (cobre e cádmio) e fenóis (fenol e 2,4,6-triclorofenol) testados atesta a interrelação entre atividade luminogênica e injúria oxidativa aos fungos. Os metais parecem afetar mais negativamente as defesas antioxidantes dos fungos do que os fenóis, os quais possivelmente são eliminados pela atividade da glutationa S-transferase (GST), sem também afetar as demais defesas antioxidantes. No conjunto, estes resultados possibilitam estabelecer uma relação metabólica entre abatimento da bioluminescência e as defesas antioxidantes do organismo. No caso dos metais, os sistemas de defesa antioxidante envolvendo a glutationa são bastante importantes, tanto para eliminar peróxidos produzidos na presença de cobre, como na quelação de cádmio pela glutationa. Sob condições normais, a bioluminescência, defesas antioxidantes e respiração celular do organismo estariam funcionando e o NAD(P)H seria mobilizado por todos estes sistemas. Quando o fungo é submetido ao estresse químico, o fluxo de NAD(P)H seria desviado da bioluminescência para sustentar prioritariamente as defesas antioxidantes e a respiração celular, essenciais para a proteção, manutenção e reprodução do organismo<br>Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are normally produced during the metabolism of aerobic organisms. Ligninolitic fungi also produce these oxidizing species also during the lignin degradation process. The bioluminescent species Gerronema viridilucens and Mycena lucentipes were studied aiming to establish a correlation between the temporal profiles of bioluminescence, cellular viability and antioxidant defense enzymes and ligninolitic enzymes in mycelium and fruiting bodies. Chemical toxicants such as metals and phenols were here found to affect light emission, cellular viability, antioxidant defenses and cellular respiration enzymes when administered to G. viridilucens, thereby attesting a metabolic connection between bioluminescence inhibition and fungal oxidative damage. Different species of fungi exhibit different characteristics linked to light emission and antioxidant defenses. Differences in light emission displayed by different species do not resume to fruiting bodies, but the light profile and intensity can also vary in the mycelia. This may explain the irreproducibility of the light profile from M. lucentipes, differently to that observed with G. viridilucens. The cellular viability of both species varies with time, G. viridilucens profile being similar to the time course of bioluminescence. The enzymatic data pointed to higher activities in mycelium than in fruiting bodies, probably due to a main reproductive function of the latter, whereas the metabolic activities are prevalent in the mycelium. Ligninolytic enzymes exhibit low activities in the extracts of fungus samples, probably because they are extracellular degradation enzymes. The inhibition effect of phenols and metals (copper and cadmium) on mycelium viability reinforces the notion that cellular oxidative damage hampers bioluminescence emission. Redox active (copper) and heavy metals (cadmium) were found to display higher impact on antioxidant defenses than phenols (phenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol), which are expected to be promptly metabolized and excluded by principally glutathione S-transferase (GST). Notably, a metabolic correlation between bioluminescence inhibition and antioxidant defenses was unveiled by the present work. Regarding the metals, glutathione was found to be a crucial antioxidant, both to eliminate peroxides when in the presence of copper, and to act as a cadmium chelating agent. Under normal conditions, the bioluminescence system, the antioxidant defenses and the cellular respiration sets cooperate through the common demand of reducing power of NAD(P)H. Under chemical stress, the NAD(P)H flux would be deviated from bioluminescence, to principally sustain the antioxidant defenses and cellular respiration, essential for the protection, maintenance and reproduction of the organism.

Abstract:

Les archives en lineaire b, issues exclusivement des administrations palatiales, constituent une documentation parfaitement adaptee a l'etude des mecanismes et des agents du controle economique dans le monde mycenien. Les recherches effectuees dans le cadre de cette these ont permis de montrer que l'extension, en particulier geographique, du controle economique exerce par les palais etait parfoisbeaucoup plus restreinte qu'on ne le suppose. Les agents du controle economique ont ete inventories, classes et etudies ; il s'agit, d'abord, des scribes, redacteurs anonymes des documents en lineaire b ; leur degre de specialisation dans le traitement des dossiers administratifs, ainsi que les elements qui permettent parfois de reconstituer leur hierarchie, ont ete presentes. Les palais ont aussi utilise, pour des operations de controle, non seulement des officiels designes par un titre, mais aussi des notables locaux, parfois simplement nommes, qui etaient probablement des producteurs ou des proprietaires a l'echelle locale, et qui se chargeaient de reunir et de verser les contributions en nature exigees par l'administration palatiale. Enfin ces recherches ont permis de reprendre l'ensemble du probleme des "collecteurs" ; une typologie des documents enregistrant ces personnages a ete presentee ; les methodes de gestion et d'elevage des ovins ont ete etudiees, en utilisant aussi l'apport des paralleles orientaux et ethnographiques. Bien que le role et le statut de ces notables reste, dans les details, assez obscur, il semble que certains d'entre eux, au moins, aient ete des personnages tres importants, impliques dans les operations de controle economique. Cette these presente les grands traits d'une synthese sur les mecanismes de l'economie palatiale telle qu'on peut la percevoir a travers les documents en lineaire b, en les combinant avec les donnees archeologiques et en les eclairant avec les paralleles orientaux pertinents (textes d'ur iii, d'ougarit, de nuzi).

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the production, exchange and consumption of pottery around the Saronic Gulf, Greece, during Late Mycenaean period, specifically Late Helladic IIIB1 to Late Helladic IIIC Phase 1, roughly 1300-1130 BC. While the focus of many studies of Mycenaean political economy has fallen on Messinia and the Argolid, the choice of the Saronic Gulf offers the chance to examine ceramic crafting, movement and use in an area which hosts no accepted ‘palatial’ centres. It aims to examine the role of pottery in everyday social and economic transaction, taking a ‘bottom-up’ approach to shedding light on Mycenaean society and economy. Pottery from a wide range of sites has been studied: urban centres such as Athens; harbours at Kanakia on Salamis and Kalamianos in coastal Corinthia; small settlements of Stiri in Corinthia, Myti Kommeni on Dokos and Lazarides on Aegina; sanctuary sites of Eleusis and Ayios Konstantinos, Methana; and finally the settlement and pottery production site of Kontopigado, Alimos near the Attic coast. Based on typological and macroscopic fabric studies, a large number of samples have been chosen for examination by an integrated programme of petrographic, chemical (by neutron activation analysis) and microstructural analysis (by scanning electron microscopy), in order to group and characterise to pottery according to composition, to reconstruct key aspects of ceramic manufacture and, where possible, to suggest the area or location of their production. Major production centres are identified, including Aegina, which is well-known from previous work, and those from the Corinthia and Kontopigado, Alimos. The reconstruction of the production technology of wide range of ceramic products at the latter centre provides a basis to examine contrasts in the history and organization of pottery production in closely neighbouring centres and to trace the overlapping distributions of their products. Patterns of choice in the use of pottery in different locations enable the exploration of consumption choices made on an everyday basis. It is suggested that the complex and widespread exchange of pottery and the choices made by communities carrying out differing activities make the correlation of pottery distribution and political boundaries problematic. Instead the wealth of information revealed by this approach for the first time offers basic information on the widespread movement of goods across clear geographical and, most likely, political boundaries.

Abstract:

DAMOS is an online annotated database (MySql) of all published texts of Mycenaean, the earliest attested Greek dialect. The texts are annotated for epigraphical and linguistic features (morphology, syntax, semantics) and provided with a rich set of metadata, which also include chronological and geographical data. Genre (administrative accounts) and physical features (brevity and often fragmentary state) of the Mycenaean texts, and especially their script (Linear B), not well suited for rendering the Greek language, pose challenges to the interpretation of the texts, which often result in multiple possible values of the data at all levels – epigraphical, linguistic, metadata. These may often be organized in competing sets of values, which form coherent different overarching hypotheses on e.g. the grammar of the language or the dating of an archive. These competing values need, thus, to be stored and meaningfully organized in the database. The presentation focuses on how chronological and geographical data (both about the texts and contained in the texts) and their often multiple possible values are dealt with in the arrangement of the database structure of DAMOS.

Abstract:

Kos’ prominent position close to the mainland, Crete, the Cyclades, and the Anatolian coast, encapsulates the technological and cultural dynamics of the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age. The pottery from the two Mycenaean cemeteries of Eleona and Langada was excavated by Luigi Morricone from 1934 to 1946, and includes both local pottery productions and imported vessels. By applying the most recent methods of technological analysis to the study of this assemblage, this study shows how the technological knowledge and skills of Koan potters, as well as the cultural identity of the island, changed during the final stages of the Bronze Age. The comparison between local productions and imported materials offers a challenging opportunity to understand how elements of Mycenaean culture were perceived and embedded in the Koan local tradition. Kos underwent a significant process of Mycenaeanization, but never fully abandoned its own local tradition. Mycenaean cultural elements were adapted by Koan potters to suit the needs and preferences of the local community. The adaptation of the Mycenaean tradition, as well as the persistence of features derived from the local tradition, resulted in the creation of a distinct and independent Koan identity within the wider Aegean context.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University<br>Located in Southwestern Arkadia (Greece) next to the Alpheios River, Palaiokastro (ancient Bouphagion) was first examined by Pierre Charnuex and Renee Ginouves of the French School at Athens in the mid-1950's. Their investigations recorded Classical fortification walls at Palaiokastro and a Mycenaean cemetery nearby. This thesis presents data acquired from an re-examination of the site of Palaiokastro and a survey of the surrounding landscape in the summer of 1992, in addition to a study of relevant historical documents. These archaeological and historical data are analysized to determine the socio-economic factors involved in the occupation of Palaiokastro in both the Mycenaean and Classical periods. In addition, studies on trade, transportation, and communication during both periods are employed to generate theoretical models of interaction between the site and its surrounding region. It is concluded that the Mycenaean and Classical occupation of Palaiokastro exploited the transportation route that existed along the Alpheios River, yet for different reasons. The Mycenaean settlement was established to protect an existing trade route vital to the Mycenaean exchange system. The Classical site was refortified as a frontier fortress of Megalopolis at a strategic location along the Alpheios River. The differences in settlement patterns were dictated by the socioeconomic context of each period. The kingdom of Pylos was a integrated society controlled by a hierarchical administration controlling regional interaction. Classical Arkadia was littered with self-sufficient communities trading as individual societies.

Full text

Abstract:

Fragments of hundreds of Mycenaean kylikes (a common Late Helladic ceramic, drinking vessel) have been found in the ash altar of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Mt. Lykaion. In this thesis, I conduct a distribution analysis of the Mycenaean kylix to gain a better understanding of Mt. Lykaion in the Late Helladic period and its association with/within the larger region. I look critically at the cache of kylix sherds recovered from the altar from 2007-2010 and compare it against assemblages of kylikes from other Late Helladic sites in the Peloponnese. To that end, I hope to start a discussion about who was consuming the pottery found at the site, where they were coming from, and whether or not they were bringing the vessels with them. This thesis will largely be dependent on a typological study of the Mycenaean kylix. As such, there are limitations as to how much can be gleaned from typology alone. I imagine though that my research could lend itself to subsequent work that would go on to encompass archaeometric methods of analysis, like zircon or clay sourcing, for the provenancing of ceramics from Mt. Lykaion.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine the evidence for the performance of a cult of the dead in LH III Greece with emphasis placed mainly on the material evidence from the typical Mycenaean tombs in the central areas of the Mycenaean dominion, viz. the Argolid, Korinthia, Attica, Boeotia and Euboea during the acme of Mycenaean civilization, that is the LH IIIA-B period. Chapter I presents the rationale and the aim of the thesis as well as the regional and chronological boundaries. Chapter II covers the theoretical background of the thesis by investigating general questions on ritual recognition in the archaeological record and on definitions of ancestor worship. A detailed presentation of the previous arguments on the Mycenaean cult of the dead is given and the 'artificial landscapes' of LH IIIB Mycenae are discussed with focus on Grave Circle A. New approaches and perspectives are proposed, namely a new definition of the term `cult of the dead' and a series of indicators of cultic activity to be applied in the study of the Mycenaean ancestor worship. Chapter III deals with funerary art and the artistic expression of Mycenaean eschatological beliefs. The Mycenaean belief in the survival of the soul and the journey of the dead to the Underworld, and the multiple function of terracotta figurines in LH III funerary agenda are assessed with this framework. The possibility of new perspectives and approaches via detailed contextual exploration of Mycenaean symbolic systems is discussed in the final part of this chapter. Chapter IV combines three broad issues, namely the location of cemeteries, tomb design and eschatological symbolism. Special reference is made to the connection between cemeteries and the religious significance of water and the rites of passage. The metaphysical symbolism of the tripartite plan of the typical Mycenaean tombs is also examined. Chapter V investigates the ritual act of attributing sacred honours and offerings to the ancestors by drawing parallels from contemporary religious observances. The first part deals with the significance of libation and sacrifice in honour of the dead. The second part explores the religious significance of secondary burial treatment and suggests that the custom signaled the starting point in Mycenaean ancestor worship. The existence of places especially designed for the performance of a cult of the dead is investigated with emphasis placed on the `Cenotaph' at Dendra. The objective of Chapter VI, which presents the conclusions of the thesis, is to place the evidence for the performance of a Mycenaean cult of the dead into a `historical' narrative and to investigate the reasons behind the establishment and practice of this cult.

Abstract:

Cyclopean masonry, used to construct the LH III fortifications on mainland Greece, has been broadly defined as being of large irregular-shaped blocks, commonly of local limestone, unworked or roughly dressed and assembled without mortar, but with small stones set in interstices. Unfortunately, this is the extent to which this masonry has been defined, leaving unanswered questions concerning building style, engineering techniques, and the amount of labour invested in the projects. The heavily fortified palatial/residential complexes of Mycenaean Greece have often been considered the result of an unsettled and aggressive society; however, an investigation into the types and location of the various structures suggest that the walls were designed to conspicuously display wealth. Cyclopean stonework is not confined to the citadels, but includes the elaborate drainage project of the Copais and a system of road networks, both which would suggest a high level of cooperation between communities. Indeed, calculations made in considering resource availability demonstrate that fortifications exceeded all defensive requirements and were probably constructed in then- initial form as part of a programme promoting and strengthening the status of the state through a display of its wealth in large scale building programmes. These monumental fortifications are often believed to have then- origins elsewhere in the Aegean, Cyprus, or the Near East; however, the evidence points to an independent development on mainland Greece. Features of the fortifications are analysed and compared to earlier and contemporary forms of Aegean, Cypriote, and Near Eastern structures in order to understand similarities and/or differences in construction, with a particular emphasis on those structures outside the Greek mainland that have been labelled as "Cyclopean". The conclusion reached is that in each geographical region the fortifications form a distinct group. In order to determine the origins of Cyclopean masonry on the Greek mainland, Cyclopean structures other than fortifications are studied and the masonry style is classified into a typology for an understanding of differences in regional work or date. This information is then used to understand Mycenaean social complexity, defined as the resultant behaviours of individuals or groups functioning within a larger collective assembly whose attitudes and actions, either directly or indirectly, affect the larger community, and to show how previous notions of an aggressive and warring society maybe inaccurate. Although the Mycenaean culture may have been competitive, its means for competition and displays of wealth could only have been achieved through cooperative measures.

Full text

Abstract:

The Late Bronze Age on the island of Crete saw a period of strong administrative and religious control by the palace at Knossos, which also controlled a vast trade network with the rest of the eastern Mediterranean. After the collapse of the palace of Knossos, the Final Palatial period (1490 - 1320 BCE), was a time of sociopolitical transition and change, witnessing an explosion in number and variety of mortuary practices used, even within the same cemetery. In this thesis I analyze Final Palatial burial practices in a more systematic method than has been previously attempted, in order to gain a better understanding of how the Minoans chose to use the mortuary sphere as a platform for constructing and negotiating their social and political identities in the dynamic socio-political climate of the Final Palatial period.

Abstract:

The Mycenaean Linear B documents are exclusively economic and administrative records and tell us little or nothing about the nature of Mycenaean religion. They do, however, yield economic information relating to the religious sphere. Mycenaean palaces provided economic support for cult through the presentation of offerings, state sponsorship of ceremonial feasts and religious festivals, and through typical Mycenaean elite maintenance systems such as the allocation of land tenure and produce from state-controlled industries. These economic aspects of religion are recorded in the Linear B tablets and can be used in conjunction with archaeological data to investigate the place of religion more generally in Mycenaean palace society. References to religion are very frequent in the tablets, creating the impression that cult activities consumed a large proportion of palatial resources. Moreover, some aspects of political structure (such as kingship) and economy (especially industrial manufacture) appear to be specially tied to religion, which has led some scholars to speak in terms of sacral-political syncretism and even a 'temple economy'. Detailed investigation of the Linear B evidence does not bear out such notions. A complete dataset of the relevant Linear B evidence is presented for the first time here. Following this, the study focuses on three main areas: the extent of resources allocated to the religious sphere, the long-standing issue of a special relationship between shrines and workshops, and the social significance of Mycenaean ceremonial banqueting, which had an important religious dimension. The thesis argues that religious activities consumed a very small proportion of the total resources of the palaces and that there was no special connection between religion and industry. Thus, there is no evidence that religion was itself economically significant or was tied to economically significant activities.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination of monumental architecture on the mainland of Greece during the Mycenaean period. The phenomenon of monumentality has been largely neglected within the Mycenaean context. This thesis has derived inspiration from a variety of other architectural contexts, ranging from the European Neolithic to Mediaeval British Castles, as well as broader theoretical approaches which emphasise the active nature of material culture. Within the Mycenaean world three forms of monumental architecture are discussed: stone built tholos tombs, fortifications, and palatial complexes. These architectural forms occur over a period of several centuries, spanning the period of the growth and apogee of the palatial system. Several key observations were made. A new presentation of the distribution of tholoi led to a reassessment of the current interpretation of this form as a highly charged political symbol. Tholos architecture was instead interpreted as largely of local significance within the burial community, broadly defined. The traditional interpretation of enclosure architecture in overwhelming military terms (as ‘fortifications’) was found to impose a uniformity of form and function on what was in fact a more variable architectural phenomenon. Moreover, while the extreme visibility of circuit walls typically resulted in their significance being seen largely on a regional scale, an emphasis in this study on the process of construction has highlighted their role within the local community also. The architecture of palaces was analysed in terms of its ‘theatricality’, that is its impact on visitors from both within and beyond the local community. In particular the relationship between status and different access to architecture units was explored. In addition, several key themes cross-cut the analysis of specific architectural forms: the process of construction; changes through time in form, which may in turn relate to changes in function; the interplay between visibility and invisibility; differential access to architectural spaces; the relationship between architecture and social structure. This study emphasises the uniqueness of architecture as a form of material culture, and provides a new perspective on the Mycenaean <i>koine.</i>
