Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicolas Coldstream and George Huxley began excavations on the Greek island of Kythera in 1963. Their mission was to find out if the Minoans of ancient Crete had established a maritime empire, as Herodotus, Aristotle and other classical authors claimed. Digging in the fertile valley of Paleopoli, they were quickly successful, finding plentiful evidence of homes, agriculture, trade, shipping, cults and burials. Over the next nine years they made further visits to the island, studying the rich archaeological finds and writing up the results in this remarkable book, which includes articles commissioned from leading scholars on Kythera's history, geology and topography. Kythera Excavations and Studies was originally published by Faber & Faber in 1972. That edition has long been out of print and is now a scarce collector's item. The reprint of this defiinitive work coincides with the opening of the restored Archaeological Museum in Kythera and makes a lost classic available for a new generation of readers.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Medieval Greece written by Peter Lock and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 1996 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece's importance in the Middle Ages is often neglected by those more concerned with its Prehistoric or Classical past. But, as the colony of Frankish and Italian maritime Empires and as a haven for the Orthodox Church after the fall of Constantinople, the landscape of Greece is covered in a profusion of Medieval art and architecture. This text brings this heritage back to public attention.

This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Archaeology and History in Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece honor the contributions of Timothy E. Gregory to our understanding of Greece from the Roman period to modern times. Evoking Gregory's diverse interests, the volume brings together anthropologists, art historians, archaeologists, historians, and philologists to address such contested topics as the end of Antiquity, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, the contours of the emerging Byzantine civilization, and identity in post-Medieval Greece. These papers demonstrate the continued vitality of both traditional and innovative approaches to the study of material culture and emphasise that historical interpretation should be the product of methodological self-awareness. In particular, this volume shows how the study of the material culture of post-Classical Greece over the last 30 years has made significant contributions to both the larger archaeological and historical discourse. The essays in this volume are organized under three headings - Archaeology and Method, the Archaeology of Identity, and the Changing Landscape - which highlight three main focuses of Gregory's research. Each essay interlaces new analyses with the contributions Gregory has made to our understanding of Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece. Read together these essays not only make a significant contribution to how we understand the post-Classical Greek world, but also to how we study the material culture of the Mediterranean world more broadly.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together studies of archaeological method and analysis with detailed work of historical interpretation, the papers here demonstrate how analysis informed by multiple disciplines sheds new light on such important topics as the end of Antiquity, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, the contours of the emerging Byzantine civilization, and the complex character of identity in post-medieval Greece. More broadly, this volume shows how the study of the material culture of post-classical Greece has made significant contributions to both the larger archaeological and historical discourse.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Mediterranean Landscapes written by Kevin Walsh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a comprehensive review of palaeoenvironmental evidence and its incorporation with landscape archaeology from across the Mediterranean. A fundamental aim of this book is to bridge the intellectual and methodological gaps between those with a background in archaeology and ancient history, and those who work in the palaeoenvironmental sciences. The volume also aims to provide archaeologists and landscape historians with a comprehensive overview of recent palaeoenvironmental research across the Mediterranean, and also to consider ways in which this type of research can be integrated with what might be considered 'mainstream' or 'cultural' archaeology. This volume takes a thematic approach, assessing the ways in which environmental evidence is employed in different landscape types. It presents analyses of how people have interacted with soils and vegetation, and revisits the key questions of human culpability in the creation of so-called degraded landscapes in the Mediterranean. It covers chronological periods from the Early Neolithic to the end of the Roman period.

Download or read book Archaeology written by Joe Flatman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it’s Tomb Raider or Roman coins, the conventional view of archaeology as a discipline solely preoccupied with long dead cultures is misleading. In fact, archaeology is better described as a mode of thought – one by which we can better understand our past, present and future. Indeed, by studying artefacts of past human activity, we can even learn to better tackle great contemporary challenges like high population density and climate change. Spanning the globe and centuries – from Mesolithic burials in Sweden to modern landfill sites in Arizona – Joe Flatman shows how to view the world with an archaeologist’s insight. What does a discarded food packet reveal about contemporary consumption patterns? How can infrared satellite imagery tell archaeologists where to undertake expensive excavation projects? What can archaeology reveal about the beginnings of the human race? Replete with textboxes highlighting key case studies from the history of the subject, and containing invaluable diagrams and photos illustrating the reality of being an archaeologist, this is the essential primer to reading landscapes, objects, and places.
