Matriarchy, Gimbutas and figurines. Entanglements with the Goddess
In Touch with the Minoans
Religious and Insular Identities in Context
The introductory article offers a general overview of the highly complicated concept of insularity as discussed variously in historical and archaeological discourse. It also provides a context of sacred landscapes and religious identities, when discussed in relation to insularity. Finally, it outlines the general themes discussed in this Special Issue and situates the Unlocking Sacred Landscapes (UnSaLa) research network and the current volume in…
Chariot Kraters and Horse–human Relations in Late Bronze Age Greece and Cyprus
This paper offers a new comprehensive catalogue and discussion of Late Helladic III chariot kraters, and explores what they reveal about horse–human relations in Greece and Cyprus in the Late Bronze Age. The nearly 400 known examples of chariot kraters were produced in mainland Greece and exported to Cyprus and the Levant. Although the vessels were surely adapted to local contexts, the motif of horses and chariot was part of the ‘international’ s…
Digital Humanities and Ritual Space
In this editorial article for the Special Issue on Unlocking Sacred Landscapes: Digital Humanities and Ritual Space , we introduce the applicability of digital humanities to the study of ritual space. The Issue focuses on digital approaches both to ritual space and to artefacts relating to ritual practice and cult. The terms ritual and cult are used broadly to include sanctuaries, temples and churches, as well as the domestic and funerary spheres…
Figures in 3D’
The largest corpus of clay figurines from the Cretan Bronze Age comes from ritual mountain sites known as peak sanctuaries. In this paper, we explore how the ‛Figures in 3D’ project contributes to our understanding of these figurines, aiding in the study of the technologies of figurine construction and the typological analysis of distinctive styles. We discuss how the project has, more unexpectedly, begun to create new dialogues and opportunities…
The Minoan Amphoroid Krater
This article focuses on a distinct type of clay vessel which formed part of both the Late Minoan and the Mycenaean repertoire: the amphoroid krater. In contrast to the Mycenaean version of the shape, with its often elaborate decoration of chariots and other pictorial designs, the Minoan amphoroid krater has up to now not received much attention. The present paper intends to redress this imbalance by exploring the origin and development of the Min…
Cretan Peak Sanctuary Figurines
The largest corpus of terracotta figurines from the Cretan Bronze Age comes from the class of ritual mountain sites, known as peak sanctuaries. Thousands of figurines – anthropomorphic, animal, votive body parts, and more elaborate (but largely fragmentary) models – were deposited on these mountain sites during the Minoan palatial periods (second millennium B.C.). Our work with these handmade figurines encompasses the material from our excavation…

The Reader
The Reader is a film set in Germany from 1958 to 1984 that challenges the black-and-white appearance of several issues and opens up possibilities for new perspectives. It is based on a book of the
Feeling Through the Body
Indigenising the Effects of Media Globalisation
This article is meant to address an international Indigenous audience and has already been presented at several international forums. The intention of the article is to show the ways in which Indigenous communities in Australia are using technology to promote democratic communication and to challenge global media hegemony perpetuated not only by media moguls but also by those who claim to challenge media on behalf of the oppressed. This tyranny o…
Into the New Millennium
This article explores the nature of Indigenous media production in Australia in relation to a two-year study - the Millennium Project - which has begun to explore the implications and possibilities offered by new media technologies in Indigenous communities across the continent. Within a framework of the continuing misrepresentation of Indigenous people and issues, many communities have begun to develop alternative media systems with alternative …

Pictorial pottery of Late Minoan II–III A2 Early from Knossos
This paper looks at the period of the first regular use of pictorial vase painting in Crete: LM II–III A2 early. The focus is on Knossos, the major findspot for Minoan pictorial pottery of this distinct pre-destruction period. The shapes, motifs and overall character of Minoan pictorial pottery are discussed, as well as the extent of its influence on the earliest Mycenaean figure-style vase-painting
Hands Up for the Individual! The Role of Attribution Studies in Aegean Prehistory
Attribution studies, the identification of the work of individual artists, are a familiar aspect of art history, and have also been used to isolate individuals and workshops of the Aegean Bronze Age. This paper examines the methodological issues involved and argues that attribution is feasible for prehistoric material, albeit in only a limited way in comparison, for example, with Classical vase painting. It is further suggested that attribution s…
Oral Traditions Under Threat
Many writers in Australia have written about the economic and social effects of the written tradition upon the various oral traditions of Australia, but few have addressed the inappropriateness of replacing the oral tradition with a written one. It is wrong to assume that the written word is a means of cultural preservation. What, in fact, is occurring is that the oral tradition in Australia is being supplanted by the written tradition
An Early Mycenaean Fish Krater from Maroni, Cyprus
The fragments of an early Mycenaean pictorial krater decorated with fish from Maroni in Cyprus are discussed and illustrated. The piece is considered within the broader context of contemporary representations, and it is suggested that Minoan representations of bird and fish motifs provided the inspiration for the use of these two themes in the early stages of Mycenaean vase-painting
Mycenaean Pictorial Pottery from Tell Atchana (Alalakh)
Considerable quantities of Mycenaean pottery were recovered by the late Sir Leonard Woolley from the site of Tell Atchana (Alalakh) in the Hatay province of Turkey, close to the Syrian border. This paper brings together the largely unpublished, Mycenaean pictorial pottery from the site. The Atchana material contributes examples both of standard chariot scenes and other less familiar themes to the corpus of pictorial pottery. The question of the d…
