SUMMARY:BSA & the Hellenic Centre\, "Artist’s Talk by Returning Resident Joshua Whitaker: Acid History – Into the Silver Screen"
DESCRIPTION:BSA & the Hellenic Centre event\nArtist’s Talk by Returning Resident Joshua Whitaker: Acid History – Into the Silver Screen\nAbstract: A talk/performance by artist Joshua Whitaker presenting writing\, photography\, and film developed during his stay as Arts Researcher in Residence at The British School at Athens (BSA) in partnership with Camberwell\, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Arts at University of the Arts London.  The talk will explore the BSA’s archive\, library\, and laboratory’s influence on Whitaker’s practice— each of which provided source material for a new set of photographic\, film\, and silkscreen works— as well as the concept of ‘Acid History’\, developed during the residency\, which has subsequently been presented as a paper at University of Exeter’s ‘Apocalyptic Times’ conference.   Walter Benjamin’s ideation of ‘Left Melancholy’\, religious icons\, Amiri Baraka’s unpicking of time in his short story ‘Rhythm Travel’\, Etel Adnan’s poetry\, the Delphic Oracle\, and Pier Paolo Pasolini’s script for ‘San Paolo’ will be drawn on to elaborate the concept of ‘Acid History’ as an experience of time shot through photographic and cinematic mediums. Film photography and music will be used to explore how to reimagine history as ‘Acid’ in nature and in doing so radically rethink the conditions of the past and produce a future which escapes neoliberal politics. \nBio: Joshua Whitaker is an artist\, writer\, lecturer and Arts Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded PhD researcher based at Central St Martins\, University of the Arts London.  He was the BSA Art Researcher in Residence in 2023. \n7pm in-person at the Hellenic Centre in London \nFree | Bookings via Eventbrite or +44 (0)20 7563 9835

SUMMARY:Andriana Xenaki\, "'A view from the mountain’s top': modelling the use of mountainous areas in Eastern Crete"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nView of the Lasithi plateau from the north. Photo: Andriana-Maria Xenaki. \nUpper House Seminar\nAndriana Xenaki (University of Cambridge/BSA)\, “‘A view from the mountain’s top’: modelling the use of mountainous areas in Eastern Crete”\nAbstract: Using legacy data from eastern Crete’s most dominant landscape features – its rugged terrain and iconic mountains – this paper will explore some of the issues pertaining to the study of the relationships between ancient societies and their surrounding landscape. Out of the multitude of methods that have emerged in recent years\, the current study uses Point Process Models (PPM) to examine the relationship between archaeological sites and environmental variables while simultaneously considering their social settings. This method\, used as a heuristic tool to examine the reasons behind settlement location choices over time and to assess past assumptions about the location of sites in the mountains\, provides important insights on differential site location priorities. \n  \nHybrid lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm (Greece) \nPlease register here to attend online. No registration required for in-person attendance.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion\, "Translation and the sound of ancient Greek music"
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion – Committee for Society\, Arts & Letters\nTranslation and the sound of ancient Greek music\nThe second of two panel discussions exploring how the sounds of Greek poetry influence their modern translation into both words and music. \nChair: Dr Emily Pillinger \nSpeakers: Dr Tosca Lynch\, Dr Samuel Dorf\, Dr Toby Young \nThis panel will concentrate on the translation of ancient Greek music into modern music. It will explore the few traces we have of the ancient music that would have accompanied ancient Greek poetry\, and reflect on how this has inspired modern composers and thinkers. It will also consider how modern music has responded to purely imagined Greek sonic worlds. \nTosca Lynch is a musician and classicist with unique expertise in ancient Greek music\, who recently co-edited with Eleonora Rocconi the essential handbook to ancient music: the Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Greek and Roman Music (2020). She regularly updates an invaluable website: https://www.emousike.com/. Samuel Dorf is a musicologist whose recent monograph\, Performing Antiquity (2018)\, analyses the music and dance used in performing hypothetical reconstructions of Greek lyric poetry in the 1930s\, and is now working on what he calls ‘Extreme Early Music’ – that is\, on the contemporary practice of reconstructing the sounds of ancient music and the meaning of claims to ‘authenticity’ in this context. Toby Young is a highly experienced and versatile music composer who is particularly interested in the voice and the questions / limitations associated with rigid delineations of musical genre. He has experience reconstructing sound worlds of the past in his role as the music supervisor for ‘Punchdrunk’\, a British immersive theatre company. \n  \nOnline only\, 7pm (Greece) / 5pm (UK).  \nRegister to attend online via Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:John Bennet\, "Never the twain shall meet: reflections on text and image in Minoan Crete"
DESCRIPTION:Image: composite of the Throne Room at Knossos (wikipedia) and the speaker’s photo of a Knossos tablet (KN Lc(1) 525) \nBSA Friends’ Lecture\nProf John Bennet (University of Sheffield)\, “Never the twain shall meet: reflections on text and image in Minoan Crete”\nAbstract: The world of Neopalatial Crete was visually rich; it was also a literate world. Yet these two categories\, as we define them\, never combine in the same field. In this talk\, I explore this apparent anomaly and suggest how we might explain it. Any interpretation needs to take account of the specific historical context and so might challenge our modern conceptions of the role of writing and its relation to visual imagery. \nBio: John Bennet is Professor of Aegean Archaeology at the University of Sheffield.  After completing his PhD at Cambridge on the Administrative Organisation of Late Minoan II – III Crete based on archaeological and textual evidence\, he taught at the Universities of Wisconsin-Madison in the USA (1986-98) and Oxford (1998-2004)\, before taking up his current Chair.  From 2015 to 2022 he was Director of the British School at Athens. \nJohn’s fundamental research interest lies in the combination of material and textual data in understanding the past\, which he has pursued in relation to Minoan Crete\, the Late Bronze Age Greek mainland\, as well as Kythera in the Venetian\, Ottoman and British periods and Venetian-Ottoman Messenia.  He has published on Late Bronze Age Crete and mainland Greece\, on Linear B\, and on historical Greece\, and has participated in or directed fieldwork on Crete (Knossos; Phaistos region; Hania region)\, in mainland Greece (BA Pylos region)\, and on the islands (Keos; Kythera). \n  \nHybrid lecture\, 17:00 (UK) / 19:00 (Greece)  \nPlease register here to attend in-person in London (Room G35\, Senate House) or online via Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Gerasimos Tsourapas\, "Greek-Turkish Relations and Migration Power Politics in the Mediterranean"
DESCRIPTION:Image credit: Australian Associated Press 2023. Migrants gather between Pazarkule border gate\, Edirne\, Turkey\, and Kastanies border gate\, Evros\, as they try to enter Greece\, on Saturday\, Feb. 29\, 2020. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that his country’s borders with Europe were open\, as thousands of refugees gathered at the frontier with Greece. (AP Photo/Emrah Gurel)  \nUPDATE: Online Only\nUpper House Seminar\nProf Gerasimos Tsourapas (BSA/University of Glasgow)\, “Greek-Turkish Relations and Migration Power Politics in the Mediterranean”\nAbstract: The emerging international relations literature on states’ migration diplomacy traditionally centres on how cross-border mobility affects\, and is affected by\, governmental foreign policy strategies. Yet\, little attention has been paid to strategic interactions between domestic political priorities\, bilateral foreign policy negotiations\, and supranational organisations\, particularly the European Union. In this talk\, I draw inspiration from Robert Putnam’s work on the entanglement of domestic and international politics and put forth a theorisation of migration diplomacy as a three-level game. Beyond the importance of intergovernmental negotiations\, I propose that migration diplomacy actors absorb domestic-level concerns as well as supranational pressures. I test this framework on the recent border crisis between Greece and Turkey in February/March 2020\, and identify how both Greek and Turkish use of migration diplomacy was shaped by three sets of policy goals: domestic\, international\, and supranational. I build on this further by looking back at how cross-border mobility became implicated at the long\, turbulent history of Greek-Turkish relations. I conclude with a discussion of how such a framework can shed valuable light on border crises and the interplay between migration and foreign policymaking in the Eastern Mediterranean\, and beyond. \nGerasimos Tsourapas is the BSA’s Early Career Fellow and Professor of International Relations at University of Glasgow. \nOnline-only lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm Greece \nUPDATE: due to unforeseen circumstances\, this Upper House Seminar will take place online only\, and not in-person at the BSA as first listed.

SUMMARY:Georgios Mouratidis\, "Athletics and Paedeia. Monuments in Context"
DESCRIPTION:Upper House Seminar\nDr Georgios Mouratidis (British School at Athens)\, “Athletics and Paedeia. Monuments in Context”\n  \nAbstract: The hundreds of statue bases of athletic monuments that have survived to our day\, suggest that athletes have always been figures of fascination and admiration. But what makes athletes so admirable to deserve to be immortalised through monuments? Drawing on a wide range of epigraphic and other material from the Greek cities of the Late Hellenistic and Imperial periods\, this paper aims to provide valuable insights into the role of athletic monuments in Greek communities\, by exploring the educational potential of these monuments in non-athletic contexts. The ancient material illustrates powerfully that the role of athletic monuments in Greek cities was not only to reward victory and athletic ability\, but also to encourage good behaviour and ‘lifelong education’ by highlighting the values associated with sport and competition.  \n  \nHybrid lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm (Greece) \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsa-upper-house-seminar-georgios-mouratidis-tickets-771545973777?aff=oddtdtcreator \n[due to new limits on Eventbrite we are limited to 25 tickets initially – if the event appears to be sold out please check back again here as we will update the link] \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_E7gtZ88gRC6HOUXZp3HNdQ

SUMMARY:Rachel Phillips\, "Curating the Dead: Body and Matter in Early Mycenaean Burials"
DESCRIPTION:Grave Circle A\, Mycenae. Photo: Rachel Philips  \nUpper House Seminar\nRachel Phillips (University of Cambridge)\, “Curating the Dead: Body and Matter in Early Mycenaean Burials”\nFrom the start of the Late Bronze Age\, people on the Greek mainland were buried with hundreds or even thousands of objects\, made from exotic materials and embellished with figurative and abstract motifs. Through the twin representational strategies of figurative imagery and depositional practice\, these assemblages effect a transformation from subject to object. This paper examines the nature of this transformation in more detail\, focusing on the relations between bodies and objects within specific early Mycenaean burial contexts. It argues that the body (and in some cases\, the person) becomes the image\, centered around the material associations and relations of the assemblage. The dialectic between the real body (i.e. the corpse) and the represented body (i.e. the burial) therefore becomes an important axis of analysis for studies of the early Mycenaean mortuary sphere\, which provides important insights into past concepts of the body and its association with the person. \nHybrid lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm (Greece) \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/767487685327?aff=oddtdtcreator \n[due to new limits on Eventbrite we are limited to 25 tickets initially – if the event appears to be sold out please check back again here as we will update the link] \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_avXP7zKCQECgL03I01Jwog \n

SUMMARY:Amy Bogaard\, "Archaeology and ‘eco-cultural’ heritage: case studies from Greece and beyond"
DESCRIPTION:View towards Dispilio\, Lake Orestias (photo: Amy Bogaard) \nFriends’ Hybrid Lecture\nProf. Amy Bogaard (University of Oxford)\, “Archaeology and ‘eco-cultural’ heritage: case studies from Greece and beyond”\nAbstract: The climate and biodiversity crises are prompting new conversations about the archive of human experience we can draw upon to address them. Archaeology in Greece offers a deep time perspective on key topics such as land use\, together with related research on the ecological and social contingencies that shape farming regimes and culinary practices in the past and present. In this talk I draw upon case studies from Greece and other parts of Europe to illustrate archaeology’s rich potential and contributions in a broader context of ‘eco-cultural’ heritage as an emerging cross-disciplinary field. \nBio: Prof. Amy Bogaard is the Professor of European Archaeology in the School of Archaeology\, University of Oxford. Her research focus is early farming practice and its social and ecological implications. She is also interested in how insights about food and farming from the deep past can inform current discussion of future food security in the context of the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis. \nUPDATE 17/11/23: due to staff sickness\, this lecture will no longer take place in-person\, and will be ONLINE ONLY. \nOnline only lecture\, 17:00 (UK) / 19:00 (Greece)  \nRegister here to attend ONLINE via Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Stamatoula Panagakou\, "Aspects of the Political Philosophy of the British Idealist Philosopher Bernard Bosanquet"
DESCRIPTION:Upper House Seminar\nDr Stamatoula Panagakou (University of Cyprus)\, “Aspects of the Political Philosophy of the British Idealist Philosopher Bernard Bosanquet”\nBernard Bosanquet (1848-1923) was one of the most important British Idealist philosophers. Author of numerous books which cover topics from logic\, metaphysics and aesthetics to ethics\, religion and political philosophy\, and of more than a hundred articles and book reviews\, Bosanquet developed a holistic approach to socio-political theorization\, defended the moral view of politics\, society and the state\, and reflected on the relation between individual self-realization and the common good. In this talk\, which is suitable for both scholars and a more general audience\, we will discuss central themes from Bosanquet’s philosophy such as the metaphysics of the self\, the idea of ethical citizenship\, and the ethical system of the state. \nHybrid lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm (Greece) \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsa-upper-house-seminar-dr-stamatoula-panagakou-tickets-726714361217?aff=oddtdtcreator \n[due to new limits on Eventbrite we are limited to 25 tickets initially – if the event appears to be sold out please check back again here as we will update the link] \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WHlSTMMJThuNmyDrDO1DEA

DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAxonometric drawing showing the construction of a Hellenistic stoa (drawing by Samuel Holzman) \nFriends of the BSA in Greece lecture series.\nDr Samuel Holzman (Princeton University)\, “Archaeological drawing in (and out of) perspective”\nArchaeologists draw not just to show their discoveries to others. Archaeological drawing is a visual language\, one for recording evidence and pondering ideas that often need more than words to express. For the Thursday afternoon Friends of the BSA talk\, I will share some personal experiences from drawing for archaeology\, as well as a brief history of the competition within archaeological drawing between two rival traditions: perspective drawing and non-perspective axonometric drawing.

Stripping away the cultural expectations that post-Classical cultures have showered on this vessel\, lenses through which connoisseurs and other culture experts have viewed it as an exemplum of Greek art\, she contextualises this very Athenian Aphrodite in her late 5th-century context to understand her relevance to the attendants and mythic figures that surround her on this illustrious vase painting\, to the vessel itself\, and therefore to persons who may have encountered this vessel in antiquity. \n  \nHybrid lecture\, 4pm (UK) / 6pm Greece \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsa-upper-house-seminar-prof-amy-smith-tickets-748329422447?aff=oddtdtcreator \n[due to new limits on Eventbrite we are limited to 25 tickets initially – if the event appears to be sold out please check back again here as we will update the link] \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gvl4vRL4S1-d4w2vSZQ6xw

DESCRIPTION:  \n \nPhoto: Giorgos Anastasakis / © Region of Crete \nFriends of the BSA in Greece lecture series\nIsabella Zampetaki\, “How Far Would You Go for Real Food?”\n  \nIsabella has traveled Crete’s mountains and plains in search of unique culinary experiences. She’s visited ancient Tsounati olive groves where the world’s first high phenolic olive oil to be globally certified as a food supplement is being produced. She’s watched men whip wild rock-rose bushes as they collect labdanum\, and she’s discovered its healing secrets. She spent a night in a cave in the Samaria Gorge to witness a unique honey harvest and she has sat in a shepherd’s hut in the White Mountains all through the long hours of stirring it takes to make graviera cheese. In the course of these culinary journeys\, she has made some unexpected discoveries and would love to share some of her most important finds\, inviting you to redefine the way you look at food. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn-person only\, 6pm (Greece) \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsa-greek-friends-event-isabella-zampetaki-tickets-726694351367?aff=oddtdtcreator \nA lecture organised by the Friends of the BSA in Greece \n

SUMMARY:Kostis Christakis\, "A land called Crete: European cartographers and the perception of the Cretan landscape\, 16th – 17th c. AD"
DESCRIPTION:Friends’ Lecture series\nDr Kostis Christakis (BSA Knossos Curator)\, “A land called Crete: European cartographers and the perception of the Cretan landscape\, 16th – 17th c. AD“\n  \nThis is an exclusive event for BSA Supporters only. If you would like to join us\, please consider signing up as a Supporter for as little as £50 (£20 for students) if you have not already done so. You can find out more\, and sign up\, here.\n  \nAbstract: The extent of the cartographic depiction of Crete during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment is undoubtedly unique. No other area of Greece\, including Cyprus\, has been represented in such a vast array of printed maps and topographical plans. This presentation discusses how cartographers depicted the Cretan landscape\, both natural and anthropogenic\, and highlights the evidence that maps can provide on the complex and changeable political\, economic and ideological aspects of Cretan society in the Late Venetian period. \nBio: Dr Kostis S. Christakis is the Curator at the Knossos Research Centre of the British School at Athens and is a former lecturer at the University of Crete. His publications include four monographs and various articles\, concerning topics related to the economic and political organization of Bronze Age Crete\, household archaeology\, subsistence economy and pottery. He co-directs the excavation and publication project at Galatas Pediados and he is responsible\, among others projects\, for the final publication of Bronze Age Complexes at the sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou (stratigraphy and pottery) and of the storerooms of the palace at Knossos. \nOnline only\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

DESCRIPTION:Library/Archive Lecture\nRichard Clogg\, “Cousins and allies?: the Special Operations Executive and the Office of Strategic Services in Greece”\nAbstract:  SOE\, the Special Operations Executive\, was established in July 1940 when Britain’s fortunes\, following the Dunkirk evacuation\, were at their lowest ebb. It is sometimes suggested that Britain at this juncture stood alone against the might of the Axis but Britain was able to call on the resources of the British Empire\, although these were widely scattered throughout the world. Greece would soon become the only other European country continuing to resist the Axis. SOE was given the mandate of promoting irregular warfare\, sabotage and support for resistance movements and Winston Churchill famously enjoined the new organization to set Europe ablaze. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl  Harbour in December 1941 the United States entered the war and in July 1942 the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services) was established. In addition to SOE’s paramilitary objectives\, the OSS was charged with gathering intelligence and with political warfare. Both attracted in full measure the hostility of the established military\, diplomatic and\, in the British case\, intelligence operations. In their Greek operations both organizations recruited widely among archaeologists and classicists who had the requisite linguistic and topographical knowledge. Both the SOE and the OSS were temporary wartime creations which were wound up at the war’s end. Co-operation at a lower level between the two organizations was often good but at a higher level OSS encountered difficulties in establishing itself in Greece in the face of British opposition. The friction that from the beginning  developed between SOE and OSS over operations in  Greece continued until the end of the German occupation. \n  \nHybrid Lecture\, 6pm (Greece) / 4pm (UK) \nPlease register to attend IN PERSON in Athens here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/libraryarchive-lecture-richard-clogg-tickets-741489935357?aff=oddtdtcreator \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z8zpChO-Sdy0en0RjG7raQ

SUMMARY:Iro Mathioudaki & Luca Girella\, "The three West Court Kouloures at Knossos: between the First and Second Palace periods"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nMinoan Seminar – ΣΕΜΙΝΑΡΙΟ ΤΗΣ ΜΙΝΩΙΚΗΣ ΑΡΧΑΙΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ\nIro Mathioudaki & Luca Girella\, “The three West Court Kouloures at Knossos: between the First and Second Palace periods“\nThe main aim of this seminar is to discuss the ceramic material from Evans’s stone-lined rubbish pits’ deposits\, i.e. the Kouloures Deposits\, which have been published to some extent in MacGillivray’s book Knossos Pottery Groups of the Old Palace Period (1998). The three West Court Kouloures were constructed at the beginning of the First Palace period and went out of use at its end\, according to the date of their fills\, large dumps of MM IIB and MM IIIA pottery. These appear to have been secondary deposits from buildings on the north side of the West Court and/or from the Palace itself. After the Kouloures were filled\, early in the MM III period\, the West Court was paved to its greatest extent; the Kouloures Deposits are therefore connected to the remodeling or rearrangement of the West Court\, which took place in the same period. These operations could well have extended to the West Façade and the rest of the West Wing of the Palace.\nOur presentation develops from the project started in 2022 “The Knossian Kouloures Pottery Project” with the aim of re-assessing the chronology and typology of the ceramic assemblages\, as well as to quantify and contextualize them within the history of the palace of Knossos. The focus is on the detailed documentation of the ceramics and the assessment of MacGillivray’s argument that it represents material cleared from the Palace after a plausible destruction of the First Palace at Knossos\, particularly to be studied in terms of how it relates to the stratified deposits already studied from the East Wing of the Palace and the South-East Houses in its vicinity 3 .\nRecent work and publications on MM III ceramic contexts from Knossos and other sites from central Crete allow us to reconsider the Kouloures deposits from an in-depth and wider perspective\, and to address several questions. Firstly\, we shall begin by discussing the meaning of MM III within the standard division between the First and the Second Palace periods. Although these two definitions meant different sociopolitical transformations for different parts of the island\, their use\, especially when dealing with the transition\, became quite unpredictable\, and the position of MM III in this terminology uncertain. That is well exemplified by the Kouloures deposits that have been pushed and pulled in both directions. Construction at individual sites and the analysis of ceramic contexts appear to show that MM III was a very prolific\, dynamic and complex period in Central Crete at least.\nWe shall continue with a ceramic presentation of the Kouloures deposits. Many different types of vessels are represented\, in fact covering a large part of the shape repertoire of the early MM IIIA period with many types indicative of a slightly earlier date. The deposits also include many vessels of special use\, like rhyta\, chalices\, miniature vessels\, and lamps. \nFinally\, we shall discuss the Kouloures deposits within the context of major MM IIB and IIIA deposits of central Crete. Comparative analysis with broadly contemporary deposits from Phaistos\, Knossos and its hinterland\, and the general area of north central Crete will be relevant. Functionality\, depositional processes and chronological contrasts might well explain why synchronisms are not well-tuned and why there are differences in the ceramic composition of deposits. \n  \n“Οι τρεις Κουλούρες της Δυτική Αυλής του Ανακτόρου της Κνωσού: μεταξύ της Παλαιο- και Νεοανακτορικής εποχής”\nΣτο σεμινάριο παρουσιάζεται η κεραμεική των κτιστών απορριμματικών αποθετών του Evans\, των λεγόμενων Κουλούρων\, που έχει εν μέρει δημοσιευτεί στη μονογραφία του MacGillivray\, Knossos Pottery Groups of the Old Palace Period (1998). Οι τρεις Κουλούρες της Δυτικής Αυλής διαμορφώθηκαν στις αρχές της Παλαιοανακτορικής εποχής και έπαψαν να λειτουργούν στο τέλος της\, σύμφωνα με τη μεγάλη απόθεση ΜΜ ΙΙΒ και ΜΜ ΙΙΙΑ κεραμεικής που βρέθηκε στο εσωτερικό τους. Φαίνεται πως πρόκειται για δευτερογενείς αποθέσεις που προέρχονται από κτίσματα στη βόρεια πλευρά της Δυτικής Αυλής ή/και το ίδιο το ανάκτορο. Με την πλήρωση των Κουλούρων\, πρώιμα στη ΜΜ ΙΙΙ περίοδο\, η Δυτική Αυλή επενδύθηκε με λίθινες πλάκες σε μεγάλη έκταση. Επομένως\, οι αποθέσεις των Κουλούρων σχετίζονται με την αναδιαμόρφωση της Δυτικής Αυλής την ίδια περίοδο και κατ’ επέκταση με την εκ νέου διευθέτηση της Δυτικής Πρόσοψης και της Δυτικής Πτέρυγας του Νέου Ανακτόρου.\nΕδώ παρουσιάζονται τα πρώτα πορίσματα του ερευνητικού μας προγράμματος «Η κεραμεική των Κουλούρων της Κνωσού» που ξεκίνησε το 2022 με στόχο την επαναξιολόγηση της χρονολόγησης και της τυπολογίας\, την ποσοτικοποίηση των κεραμεικών αποθέσεων των Κουλούρων και την ενταξή τους στο πλαίσιο της ιστορίας του ανακτόρου της Κνωσού\, επανεκτιμώντας το επιχείρημα του MacGillivray πως πρόκειται για υλικό από το Παλαιό Ανάκτορο που απορρίφθηκε ως αποτέλεσμα μιας προηγηθείσας καταστροφής. Ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον έχει ο συσχετισμός του κεραμεικού αυτού υλικού με τους αποθέτες που έχουν ήδη μελετηθεί από την Ανατολική Πτέρυγα και τις Νοτιοανατολικές Οικίες στην εγγυτητα του ανακτόρου 4 .\nΠρόσφατες έρευνες ΜΜ ΙΙΙ κεραμεικών συνόλων από την Κνωσό και την κεντρική Κρήτη γενικότερα επιτρέπουν την θεώρηση των αποθέσεων των Κουλούρων σε ένα ευρύτερο πλαίσιο. Εδώ θα γίνει μια πρώτη συζήτηση σχετικά με το ρόλο και τη σημασία της ΜΜ ΙΙΙ περίοδου ως τυπικού διαχωρισμού μεταξύ Παλαιο- και Νεο-ανακτορικής εποχής. Αν και οι δύο αυτές εποχές έχουν σχετιστεί με διαφορετικούς κοινωνικοπολιτικούς σχηματισμούς που είναι ενδεχομένως διαφορετικοί σε κάθε περιοχή του νησιού\, η χρήση της ορολογίας αυτής\, ιδιαίτερα σε ό\,τι αφορά τη μεταβατική φάση ΜΜ ΙΙΙ\, είναι πολλές φορές αόριστη. Αυτό επιβεβαιώνεται από τις αποθέσεις των Κουλούρων που έχουν κατά καιρούς τοποθετηθεί είτε στο τέλος της Παλαιο- είτε στην αρχή της Νεοανακτορικής εποχής. Η έντονη οικοδομική δραστηριότητα και ο υλικός πολιτισμός πολλών θέσεων που μελετώνται στην εποχή μας αποδεικνύει όλο και περισσότερο πως η ΜΜ ΙΙΙ αποτέλεσε μια ιδιαίτερα γόνιμη\, δυναμική και σύνθετη περίοδο\, τουλάχιστον στην κεντρική Κρήτη. \nΣτη συνέχεια θα παρουσιαστεί η κεραμεική των Κουλούρων· αντιπροσωπεύονται πολλοί και διαφορετικοί τύποι αγγείων που καλύπτουν ευρύ φάσμα του ρεπερτορίου της πρώιμης ΜΜ ΙΙΙΑ τυπολογίας\, αλλά και τύποι που ανήκουν σε ελαφρώς πρωιμότερες φάσεις. Οι αποθέσεις περιλαμβάνουν πολλά αγγεία ιδιαίτερης χρήσης\, όπως ρυτά\, «κύπελλα κοινωνίας»\, μικρογραφικά αγγεία και λύχνους. Θα συζητηθούν επίσης οι αποθέσεις των Κουλούρων σε συνάφεια με άλλα σημαντικά σύνολα ΜΜ ΙΙΒ και ΜΜ ΙΙΙΑ κεραμεικής\, κυρίως της κεντρικής Κρήτης. Η διαφορετική χρήση και λειτουργία των αγγείων\, καθώς και η διαδικασία εναπόθεσής τους στις Κουλούρες\, ευθύνονται σε κάποιο βαθμό για τις τυπολογικές και χρονολογικές ασυνάφειες που παρατηρούνται. \n1 Associate Researcher of the AEGIS Research Group (UCLouvain)\, Belgium\n2 Associate Professor in Aegean Civilisations\, Università Telematica Internazionale Uninettuno\, Roma\n3 Mathioudaki 2018\, ‘The pottery deposit from the Houses of the Fallen Blocks and the Sacrificed Oxen at the south-eastern corner of the Palace of Knossos’\, BSA 113\, 19–73; Knappett\, Macdonald and Mathioudaki 2023\, Knossos\, From First to Second Palace.

SUMMARY:Jason König\, "The Folds of Olympus: Mountains in Ancient Greek Culture and in Nineteenth-Century Travel Writing"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\nNHRF/ICS/BSA Lectures in Classics series\nProfessor Jason König (Professor of Classics\, University of St Andrews)\, “The Folds of Olympus: Mountains in Ancient Greek Culture and in Nineteenth-Century Travel Writing”\nAbstract: The history of ancient Greek responses to mountains has been largely invisible to classical scholarship\, with its tendency to focus on urban culture. This lecture aims to bring that history to life by giving attention to five separate mountains: Lykaion\, Hymettus\, Helikon\, Parnassus and Olympus. It looks at the literary and archaeological evidence in order to explore what makes each of these mountains distinctive\, while also arguing that they have a shared importance\, as examples of the ancient Greek tendency to see mountains as spaces where the present and the past have a special connection with each other.\nThe second half of the lecture looks at the way in which those assumptions have been replicated in modern responses to the mountains of Greece\, with special attention to the writing of a series of 19th-century travel writers (especially Edward Dodwell\, Edward Daniel Clarke and Henry Fanshawe Tozer) who visited and wrote about these five mountains in ways that closely mirror our ancient sources. I argue that giving attention to their work\, and to the mountains of Greece\, can help us to rethink conventional histories of mountaineering and mountain writing in the nineteenth century. \nBio: Jason König is Professor of Classics at the University of St Andrews. He has published widely on ancient Greek and Roman culture\, including 12 books and more than 50 chapters and articles. His work has focused especially on the Greek literature and culture of the Roman empire\, and more recently on ancient representations of landscape and human-environment relations. His recent publications include The Folds of Olympus: Mountains in Ancient Greek and Roman Culture (Princeton University Press\, 2022) (shortlisted for the London Hellenic Proze 2022) and Mountain Dialogues from Antiquity to Modernity (Bloomsbury\, 2021; jointly with Dawn Hollis). He was Principal Investigator on a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust on ‘Mountains in ancient literature and culture and their postclassical reception’\, 2017-2023. \n  \nHybrid lecture\, 7pm (Greece) \nAuditorium ‘Leonidas Zervas’\, National Hellenic Research Foundation\, 48 Vasileos Constantinou Av.\, Athens \nThe lecture will be webcast live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94BmhlMRQBc
