Argos, fouilles de l’Aspis - 2017, 2018
Données scientifiques produites : Argos par l’EFA Les années 2017 et 2018 ont été consacrées, d’une part, à l’écriture du premier volume de la publication finale des fouilles de l’Aspis, qui a été remis au Service des publications de l’EfA à l’été 2020 ; d’autre part, à l’étude de deux ensembles de matériel, qui seront publiés ultérieurement : 1) la céramique mésohelladique issue des fouilles récentes, dont l’étude sera incluse dans le second vol…
Rethinking Household-Based Production at Ayia Irini, Kea: An Examination of Technology and Organization in a Bronze Age Community of Practice
Analyses of the organization of craft production in prehistoric societies have tended to build on evolutionary, typological models that see domestic, household-based production as simple, small-scale, and unspecialized in contrast to workshop production. Such models, however, overlook archaeological and ethnographic evidence for craftspeople in domestic contexts who operate at intensive scales of production and participate in regional exchange ne…
Individuals and Society in Mycenaean Pylos
In Individuals and Society in Mycenaean Pylos, Nakassis undertakes a detailed study of personal names attested in the Linear B archives at the Late Bronze Age palace of Pylos. His major conclusions—that many named persons in the tablets were probably regional elites who fulfilled multiple roles for the palaces and that they operated both under and outside the direct oversight of the palace—upend heuristic models that have relied on separating the…
Minoanisation in the Middle Bronze Age: Evaluating the Role of Cycladic Producers and Consumers
Minoanisation – the process by which Cretan ways of doing things spread throughout the Aegean – is a major focus of study in the Middle and Late Bronze Age Cycladic islands, but debate about the primary causes of the phenomenon has been concerned chiefly with its Late Bronze Age phases. In this article, the author considers the earliest phase of Minoanisation at Ayia Irini on Kea, Period V. The ceramic assemblage is considered holistically, inclu…
Reconsidering Technological Transmission: The Introduction of the Potter's Wheel at Ayia Irini, Kea, Greece
This article examines processes of cultural and technological transmission by focusing on the effects of the introduction of the potter’s wheel. Since distinct production choices are tied to both micro- and macroscale processes that drive change in material culture, a study of such choices provides insight into processes of acculturation, technological transmission, and local social dynamics. The authors therefore examined macroscopically a large…
Migration, mobility and craftspeople in the Aegean Bronze Age: A case study from Ayia Irini on the island of Kea
This paper investigates the question of human mobility from a practice-centered perspective, and argues for the value of such approaches in elucidating how new ideas and objects enter a community and become ‘local’ over time. In particular, I focus on the Middle Bronze Age in the Aegean Sea, and the foundation of a new settlement on the island of Kea, at Ayia Irini, apparently aimed to take advantage of an intensification of interregional trade a…
