Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia
Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos. Olympia is situated on the northern fringe of the Makrisia Basin. Due to its position between the two rivers, the sanctuary was covered by several metres of sediment (…
The Lake of Olympia
Olympia (western Peloponnese, Greece) is known as venue for the Panhellenic Games in ancient times. The wider region is located within a complex tectonic setting and was affected by crustal uplift up to 30 m since the mid-Holocene. Our study consists of a comprehensive investigation of the Basin of Makrisia and the adjacent Basin of Ladiko in the vicinity of ancient Olympia aiming to reconstruct the Holocene landscape development. In addition to …
A Previously Unknown Building Structure in Ancient Olympia (Western Peloponnese, Greece) Revealed by Geoarchaeological Investigations and Its Interpretation as a Possible Harbor
The ancient site of Olympia is located on the northern fringe of the Basin of Makrisia at the confluence of the Kladeos and Alpheios rivers (western Peloponnese, Greece) and was used as a venue for the Panhellenic Games from Archaic times until the 4th century AD. Geophysical prospection (frequency domain electromagnetic induction and electrical resistivity tomography) was carried out as a basis for detailed geoarchaeological investigations. In d…

Multimethod (EMI, reflection seismics, ERT) investigations in ancient Olympia
Testing the Digital Atlas of Ancient Rare Diseases (Daard) using a new case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease from Early Byzantine (500–700 CE) Olympia, Greece
OBJECTIVE: The first case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) in Greece is presented. LCPD, a rare disease, is discussed using the Digital Atlas of Ancient Rare Diseases (DAARD), which tests the benefits of the database for diagnosing and contextualizing the new case with 42 archaeological cases of LCPD recorded in the DAARD. MATERIALS: A 30-40-year-old, probable male individual was found at the archaeological site of Olympia, Greece, dating to …

Überlegungen zu einigen griechischen Wetterritualen
Historische und ethnographische Parallelen belegen, dass bei rituellen Handlungen, die einen Umschwung der herrschenden Witterungsverhältnisse bewirken sollen, häufig das Schema der Umkehrung zur Anwendung kommt, um die gewünschte Veränderung symbolisch zu befördern. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Prozessionen und Bittgänge untersucht, die im antiken Griechenland im Bestreben abgehalten wurden, das Wettergeschehen zu beeinflussen. Mit dem Zug der …

Un seminario bilaterale italo-tedesco sulla coroplastica cretese
Si è tenuto a Catania, dal 19 al 21 settembre del 2013, il seminario bilaterale italo-tedesco, dal titolo Pilina Eidolia. New Perspectives in Cretan Coroplastic Studies (13th–7th century B.C.), organizzato da Antonella Pautasso (IBAM-CNR) e da Oliver Pilz (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz), patrocinato dal Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) e dalla Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Il seminario, inteso come occasione di incontro e …

The uses of small things and the semiotics of Greek miniature objects
In Greek antiquity, miniature objects are widely attested in the archaeological record. They appear in a variety of contexts such as household assemblages, sanctuaries, and tombs. The fact that, from a diachronic perspective, there exist miniature versions of many different objects has obscured the fact that the process of miniaturisation is, from a synchronic perspective, largely confined to a comparatively small group of symbolically meaningful…
Le donateur, l’offrande et la déesse
Faire une offrande à une divinité était une démarche très répandue de la pratique religieuse des Grecs. Le geste était donc banal et la nature du don extrêmement variable, pouvant aller d’une modeste terre cuite à une somptueuse intervention architecturale dans le sanctuaire du dieu ou de la déesse. Si l’offrande était variée, les intentions du donateur ou de la donatrice ne l’étaient pas moins, et s’affirmaient déjà dans le choix d’une divinité …
