Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course is about the archaeology of prehistoric Crete, with special emphasis upon the Minoan palaces of the second millennium BC. The course includes an overview of major types of the Minoan material culture, such as settlements and domestic architecture, the palaces and their surrounding villas, major and minor arts and crafts such as pottery, frescoes, metal artefacts etc. In addition the course is about the ways in which material remains may be informative of the structure and function of Minoan societies, their relations to the rest of the Aegean and the east Mediterranean, as well as of their beliefs and ritual practices. The course focuses particularly upon the palaces, namely court-centered buildings with ceremonial and administrative functions, suggesting the emergence of a complex society with sociopolitical hierarchies.
