Athens and Attica in Prehistory
The volume begins with a list of prehistoric sites in Attica and four distribution maps with the sites arranged in four periods: Upper Paleolithic to Late Neolithic, Final Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, and Late Bronze Age. Although the identification of the sites that appear on the maps is the product of variably systematic work, and presence or absence is heavily contingent on research bias and random salvage operations, this…
Becoming Human
Constructing the ‘Urban Profile’ of an Ancient Greek City
This article argues that a holistic approach to documenting and understanding the physical evidence for individual cities would enhance our ability to address major questions about urbanisation, urbanism, cultural identities and economic processes. At the same time we suggest that providing more comprehensive data-sets concerning Greek cities would represent an important contribution to cross-cultural studies of urban development and urbanism, wh…

The representation of phalli in Neolithic Thessaly, Greece
This paper is an attempt to elucidate a rather understudied aspect of Neolithic imagery from Thessaly, Greece, objects representing phalli, and at the same time to consider the possibility that gender was not a prominent structuring principle in the past, allowing for the fact that phalli did not elicit a pervasive binary categorization of bodies, but instead were invoked in specific circumstances with particular objectives
Representing people, constituting worlds
This paper considers the diverse iconographic landscapes of the southern Balkans, especiallythose populated by human figurines. The main premise is that material culture is a resource upon which agents draw to situate themselves in the world. In this way, regional traits are deemed particularly important for the constitution of specific subjectivities, in contrast to a generic ‘Neolithic individual’, and at the same time, for the constitution of …
Animal Bodies and Ontological Discourse in the Greek Neolithic
The Materiality of Representation
Representation of Humans and Animals in Greece and the Balkans during the Earlier Neolithic
There were differences in the representation of humans and animals between the regions of Thessaly and the central Balkans during the earlier Neolithic. These differences imply the constitution of distinct worlds. Representation is anthropocentric in Thessaly and it focuses on particular actions of the human body. In the central Balkans, there is more animal imagery, although here too humans predominate. The lack of specific traits suggests an on…
Building biographies and households
This article concerns the built landscape of Neolithic Thessaly and western Macedonia, Greece, and the identities that may have been constituted through its inhabitation. It focuses on the buildings as material entities and it specifically attempts to highlight the bearings of buildings upon people's lives, tracing the invocation of their materiality in the discourse of architecture and beyond. It is suggested that in this way we leave open the p…
Qualities of Humanness
This article considers the materialization of human representations in Neolithic northern Greece and particularly the materials used in their production. Contending that materialization is contingent upon but not reducible to the materials used, an attempt is made to understand the implications of using different materials to represent humans, especially clay and stone. Thus, it is suggested that in the earlier Neolithic, clay and stone were rese…
Regional Perspectives on the Neolithic Anthropomorphic Imagery of Northern Greece
This article considers the ways in which regional differences in material culture are constituted and maintained, using the example of Neolithic anthropomorphic figures from northern Greece. The aim of the paper is to offer an alternative approach to the still dominant discourse that attributes variation to some sort of ethnic identity, by redirecting emphasis onto the active rehearsal of localities through the use of material culture. In this ve…

Subjectivity and Material Culture in Thessaly, Greece
This article considers the role of anthropomorphic imagery in the constitution of subjects in Neolithic Thessaly, Greece. To accomplish that, material culture is seen as discourse, i.e. an articulating practice, which through its reiteration empowers certain positions rather than others. The objective of the study is to identify some aspects of the forms that specific anthropomorphic figures encourage or oblige those positions to take. These aspe…
Social and monumental space in Neolithic Thessaly, Greece
The article considers the ways in which material culture and especially architecture is used in the negotiation of social relationships in Neolithic settlements in Thessaly, Greece. Thus it reconstructs the possibilities past agents had to form an identity in relation to houses and subsequently the consequences of two different habitation strategies, i.e. rebuilding on the same spot or relocation to another area, in relation to the conceptualizat…
