Towards an Archaeology of Sustainability
Using evidence from the Sphakia Survey, a multiperiod archaeological project in south-west Crete, this article has two goals. The first is to contribute to a newly emerging field, the archaeology of sustainability. The investigation of sustainability in Sphakia uses five main kinds of evidence: environmental, archaeological/material, textual, oral, and patterns of activity that seem ‘difficult’ or ‘inconvenient’. Sphakia is a large area of highly…
Ancient Greek Agricultural Terraces
Although agricultural terraces and terrace walls are a conspicuous feature of the modern dissected terrain of the Mediterranean, it is unclear how extensively the Graeco-Roman rural landscape was terraced. Some scholars have assumed that the past landscape was very like the present one, while others have denied that agricultural terracing was much used in classical antiquity. This article explores two ways of detecting ancient terraces and terrac…
Ceramic fabric analysis and survey archaeology
Macroscopic Fabric Analysis, the systematic study and description of ceramic fabrics with the aid of a handlens and other simple equipment, has grown in importance along with systematic archaeological survey. Microscopic Fabric Analysis, or ceramic petrology, is better known, but more expensive and time-consuming. Using examples drawn from Sphakia Survey material, the authors show that Macroscopic Fabric Analysis of large pottery collections with…
Relative sea-level changes in crete
This article is concerned with the recognition and dating of Holocene relative sea-level changes along the coast of west Crete (an island located in the active Hellenic subduction arc of the southern Aegean) and in particular in Sphakia. Radiocarbon data for changes in sea levels collected and analysed previously must ( a ) be recorrected to take into account isotopic fractionation, and ( b ) recalibrated by using the new marine reservoir value. …
The diachronic analysis of pastoralism through comparative variables
Diachronic analyses of pastoralism over the millennia pose a problem. Studies of one period can use models based on other periods as heuristic devices, to pose problems and questions for investigation. But survey archaeologists and others engaged in diachronic analysis cannot assume a period-specific model as a starting point. Instead, we propose that investigation begin from a set of seven variables, which constitute the elements for the formula…
Seeing Voices and Changing Relationships
Film is an excellent way of showing human interaction with the landscape, as anthropologists and, more recently, archaeologists have realized. Film also raises other issues that are important to a reflexive and interactive archaeology: the relationship between archaeological investigators and local people, the desirability of reporting in various ways to various constituencies, the use of film as an appropriate way of reporting, and the value of …
Agiasmatsi
The Agiasmati cave in SW Crete, investigated as part of the Sphakia Survey, served as a sanctuary in the Hellenistic-Early Roman period. It has four points of interest, (1) Two of its principal types of artefacts, ladles and multiple-nozzle lamps are rare or even unique to this site. (2) Fabric analysis has enabled significant progress to be made with the interpretation of the pottery. (3) Cave worship in this period is not well known on Crete. (…
The educational attainment of young women
To test for the presence of role model effects of female high school faculty and professional staff on young women in high school, we estimate several models of educational attainment for young women using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Exposure to female high school faculty and professional staff has a positive impact on the educational attainment of young women. This result, combined with our finding that female faculty an…

Gender Bias in Archaeology
Archaeologists are often accused of the uncritical projection of their own norms and values on to the past. In their splendid article 'Archaeology and the Study of Gender', Margaret Conkey and Janet Spector show that such presentist back-projection includes the unquestioning application of our own gender ideology. They make the point that much archaeological research is therefore biased with respect to gender.2KeywordsGender BiasGender IdeologyFe…
