Abstract:
New archival information and fresh archaeological data concerning the architecture of the West House, one of the four “Ivory” houses south of Grave Circle B at Mycenae, the most controversial and perhaps the most archaeologically handicapped member of the group, which has been described as an ideal example of a developed, freestanding Mycenaean domestic unit, a spin off from the palatial model, has prompted a detailed re-interpretation/re-assessment of the evidence and has lead to a comprehensive reconstruction of the building, more than ten years after its final publication.

The paper examines how the dromos emerged as an architectural feature in Mycenaean tombs and why it became the standard type of access device. It focuses on collective tombs with lateral entrances of LH I and transitional LH I/IIA date in mainland Greece, but considers also a number of MH tombs with side entrances. The first part discusses the architectural evidence. The second part examines permanent installations and evidence of possible ritual activities from dromoi. The third part explores the symbolic and performative aspects of dromoi. It is argued that the dromos was not an integral par

Abstract:
Questions were raised in the past regarding the use of Mycenaean tiles as ‘roof tiles’ on the basis of the small numbers of them recovered in excavations and their overall scarcity in Mycenaean domestic contexts. The investigation of the Theodorou plot in 2008 in the southern part of the Kadmeia hill at Thebes yielded the single and, so far, largest known assemblage per square metre of Mycenaean tiles from a well-documented excavation. This material allows, for the first time convincingly, to identify the existence of a Mycenaean tiled roof. This paper presents the results of our work on the T

This article presents a new built chamber tomb from Argos. The tomb was found intact, allowing for detailed observations on its architecture and construction. It contained the remains of at least fifteen burials, together with abundant Mycenaean pottery, bronzes, ivory items, a sealstone and other small finds, dating from LH I to LH III B1 (although most are LH I–II B/III A1). Another two tombs of the same type have been found on the site, dating to LH I and LH II A.

This article concerns the House of Kadmos or ‘old palace’ in Boeotian Thebes, which was excavated by Keramopoullos between 1906 and 1929. It entails the study of the architecture within the Theban landscape and the context of other Mycenaean structures later unearthed in its vicinity, as well as a preliminary stratigraphic and chronological reexamination of available data. It is concluded that the House of Kadmos would have been a free-standing palatial building, but the reconstruction of a ‘typical’ tripartite megaron with a columned porch is questioned.

The first phase of Greek–Canadian excavations at the site of ancient Eleon in eastern Boeotia was conducted from 2011 to 2015. Fieldwork on the elevated plateau located between Thebes and the Euboean Gulf provided new evidence for occupation of Bronze Age and historical periods. Tombs of the early Mycenaean period have been found within and around a funerary structure known as the Blue Stone Structure. By the later Mycenaean period, settlement deposits dating to the Late Helladic IIIA and IIIB periods include evidence for participation in regional economic and crafting networks. Substantial Po

The process of combining various parts to create a structure is called building. The most effective and significant component of any construction is masonry. The Colosseum, buildings from ancient Greece and Rome, Central American buildings, and Mycenaean structures all used this material as one of their primary building elements. The oldest form is dry masonry of irregularly shaped stones. The ecological qualities of masonry, as a restorative material with a low impact on the environment, as well as the environmental control capacity of the massive wall, bring masonry back to attention as a su

This article explores expressions of cultural identity in the LM II mortuary data from the Knossos valley, in the context of the issue of a ‘Mycenaean’ presence there. It proposes that the burial record is less useful for trying to establish a mainland origin for the people interred in the tombs, than for exploring how people chose to represent themselves and each other in death. In this light, the cultural influences in the tomb architecture and assemblages of the Isopata and Kephala tombs in particular are examined. The experimentation apparent in such tombs suggests that the mortuary sphere

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

This thesis deals with the origins of the architectural forms as expressed in the Homeric Mycenaean citadel. The Genesis of the Mycenaean Citadel is a philosophical quest which reveals the poetic dimension of the Mycenaean architecture. The Introduction deals with general theories on the subject of space, which converge into one, forming the spinal idea of the thesis. The ‘process of individuation’, the process by which a person becomes ‘in-dividual’ that is a separate, indivisible unity or ‘whole’, is a process of transformation and renewal which at collective level takes place within the cit

Abstract:
Abstract The second millennium before Christ had been, for the eastern Mediterranean, a period of prosperous and forward states. Endowed with mobility and technical acumen , these societies built supple environments sympathetic with their political and social aims. Contemporary western Europe by contrast must be seen as backward. Despite the megalithic architecture of Stonehenge, Malta, and some spots on the continent, nowhere did the structure of society hint at the complex patterns of civilized life that were displayed in Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Aegean and Asia Minor. When intrepid Mycenaean sailors hugging the northern shores gained Sicily and the Tyrrhenian in search of metal-the obsidian of Lipari, the copper of Sardinia, and ores from the mines of Etruria between the Arno and Po rivers-this area led a simple pastoral life, innocent of urbanism.

Abstract:
Engraved signs begin to appear in the Aegean as early as the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1900– 1700 BCE) on Crete. They proliferate in the Late Bronze Age on Crete, in the Aegean islands and Mycenaean mainland. In Israel, Yigal Shiloh documented their appearance in palatial architecture at Megiddo and Samaria. In addition, one appears on a block from the great horned altar in Beersheba. Although they have been conventionally termed “mason’s marks,” they did not function as such in the accepted sense as aids in the positioning of blocks in the construction of a building. The marks from Is- rael received detailed attention from Norma Franklin, who associated them with guilds of Carian build- ers, an association that has not been irrefutably confirmed or disputed. This article considers twenty-five such marks from Cyprus and concludes that meanings assigned to them may vary and need not be mutually exclusive.

Abstract:
Abstract Remains of the earliest roof tiles thus far known in post-Mycenaean Greece have been excavated at Corinth, the traditional birthplace of Doric architecture. The roofing system is known as the Protocorinthian system, a name assigned to the system because these tiles were found at Corinth in contexts with Protocorinthian pottery. Similar tiles have also been found at Isthmia, Perachora, and Delphi (Map 1 ); two roofs at Olympia possess characteristics of both the Protocorinthian system and the Argive system, and must be transitional between the two (see Chapter 8). Protocorinthian tiles, of canonical form for neither Corinthian nor Laconian system, display characteristics of both and must be the source from which these two major roofing systems, not to mention various other local schools, evolved. The source for the Protocorinthian tiles themselves is more obscure: the sophistication of their design suggests to some that they are not the first to be invented, but· rather are based on earliermodels. That these models were not prehistoric tiles is clear from comparisons of the two styles: prehistoric tiles, which may or may not have been used on roofs, had separate pan and cover elements, the pan flat and the cover convex, while Protocorinthian tiles combine both elements into one piece, the pan element concave, the cover convex.

Abstract Classical culture is the handiwork of Greeks, and the long process of fashioning it begins early, perhaps about 1700 B.C. The Greek-speaking people associated with this initial phase of the story, the Mycenaeans, do not appear to have been a native race. A warlike stock, they moved into mainland Greece and the nearby islands of the Aegean probably from western Asia Minor, and by about 1600 B.C. were in firm control of this region. They built a number of independent citadel towns famous in later legend- Pylos, Tiryns, Mycenae itself-and were using a form of early Greek that modern scholarship has named Linear B.

Abstract:
The chapter provides an overview of major socioeconomic developments in the Aegean and Cyprus during the late Middle to Late Bronze Ages (ca. 1750–1050 BC) based on the archaeological and textual evidence. This period witnessed the emergence of a dense network of towns with monumental architecture, palaces, wealthy burials, and writing. The first half of the period (ca. 1750–1450 BC) is characterized by the dominance of “Minoan” Crete and its palatial centers, whose artistic and cultural influence stretched from the Nile delta to the northern Aegean, stimulating the emergence of new hybrid cultures in the Aegean islands and the coastal mainlands of Greece and Anatolia. In the second half of the period (ca. 1400–1200 BC), the newly established “Mycenaean” palaces on the Greek mainland become central to Aegean networks and material expression. Cyprus, while influenced by Aegean developments, undergoes its own distinctive changes connected to the increasing exploitation of the island’s copper sources and its proximity to the Levant. The final collapse of Aegean palatial systems ca. 1200 BC ushers in a period of dynamic transformations that look forward to the establishment of a new Iron Age order.

The meanings of the terms “ritual” and “sacrifice” are discussed as a basis for considering whether and how animal bones might be recognized as remnants of ritual behaviour or sacrifice.

The paper then places this and other apparent examples of Mycenaean animal sacrifice in a wider context, by examining zooarchaeological evidence for anatomically selective manipulation and for deliberate or “structured” deposition of animal bones from
