Geoarchaeology of earthen Cypriot architecture
Building with Stone in the Bronze Age Aegean. Towards a Comprehensive Terminology for Building Components and Masonry Types
In this paper, we present a terminology designed to define stone building components and masonry types characteristic of the Bronze Age Aegean. Drawing on evidence from 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE sites in mainland Greece, Western Turkey, and the Aegean islands, we seek to provide clear and consistent terms for describing stone architectural remains. We do so by exploring the vocabulary related to the procurement and working of stones as they resu…
Fast & Furious
In the archaeological record of Early and Middle Bronze Age Cyprus, evidence has been detected of rapid destruction events, which have been identified as principal triggering factors of definitive abandonment processes in some of the main settlements investigated on the island. The present paper aims to review the destruction sequences of these Bronze Age Cypriot contexts and to scrutinize the available stratigraphic data in order to possibly att…
Appetite for Destruction
Destruction processes are considered ‘time capsules of material culture’ (Driessen 2013) as they freeze a site at one moment of its history providing key evidence for interpreting the archaeological record and reconstructing social, political, cultural and ideological circumstances. By focusing on selected case-studies, this paper aims at briefly discussing existing evidence of destruction events in Bronze Age contexts in Cyprus, and at a prelimi…
Abandonment practices through the microscope lens. Microarchaeological data from Middle Bronze Age Erimi, Cyprus
Abandonment sequences at Middle Bronze Age Erimi have been examined using integrated stratigraphic analysis and high-resolution microarchaeological techniques, with the aim of investigating the environmental processes and socio-cultural practices that impacted on the abandonment of buildings and settlement areas. The data revealed the occurrence of two distinct processes: gradual structural degradation and rapid destruction by a fire event. Destr…
