Troy on Display
The discoveries of Heinrich Schliemann at Troy, where he excavated on and off from 1870 until his death in 1890, have generated a huge bibliography, starting with the copious writings of the man himself. In this book, Abigail Baker makes a compelling case for regarding Schliemann’s London exhibition of his finds as a formative moment in the debate about the relationship between the site of Hissarlik and the Troy of Homer’s Iliad. She describes he…

Evans, Arthur
Biography of Sir Arthur Evans, excavator of Knossos and a key figure in the development of Minoan archaeology.
Scientific Investigation of Faience Fragments Attributed to the T Own M Osaic at K Nossos
We analysed a faience fragment from B ristol M useum and A rt G allery, to determine whether it belonged to the T own M osaic, excavated at K nossos. Three T own M osaic fragments from the A shmolean M useum, O xford were also examined. The objects were analysed using non‐destructive variable‐pressure scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X ‐ray spectrometry. The B ristol object's composition and microstructures are similar to those…
Jumping to Conclusions
Bull-leaping has become one of the most emblematic activities of Minoan Crete and has recently received renewed attention with the BBC/British Museum radio series, A History of the World in 100 Objects. One of the featured objects, a Minoan bronze group of a bull and acrobat, was brought to life in a television advertisement using a modern bull and leaper. This act of translation is at the heart of the dialogue this paper seeks to address: the in…
Wild Nature? Human-Animal Relations on Neopalatial Crete
The Neopalatial period of Middle to Late Bronze Age Crete is marked by a dramatic increase in the depiction of non-human animals. In contrast to the domesticates listed in the Linear A documents, the animals which appear on frescoes and seals are largely wild or supernatural, or in non-domestic scenes (particularly bull-leaping). This article seeks to explore the quantitative differences between the types of animals displayed on different media, …
The Minoan lion
Animal depictions are frequently treated by archaeologists either as direct reflections of human-animal relations or as symbolic of social realities. This paper offers a different way of conceptualizing animal depictions, as objects which mediate between society and human relationships with non-human animals. The focus here is on the large number of lions depicted on sealstones from Bronze Age Crete, despite there being no evidence (excluding the…
Competing Natural and Historical Heritage
Zoos are complex social representations of the natural world. They are not just about animals but equally about cultural attitudes towards animals. This nature–culture duality poses formidable challenges when it comes to appreciating historical zoo architecture today. Many old animal enclosures are artistic highpoints, but modern standards of animal welfare as well as contemporary visitors’ expectations often make them ill‐suited, or at least ill…

Where have all the monkeys gone? The changing nature of the Monkey Temple at Bristol Zoo
Built in 1928, the domed structure once called the Monkey Temple still stands in Bristol Zoo, UK, the architecture preserved by planning regulations, but the enclosure remodelled and rebranded as the Smarty Plants exhibit. Its transformation is used as an archaeological case study to illustrate how society's changing encounters with "nature" have acted as the inspiration for different styles of zoo enclosure. Colonially inspired and based on the …
