Abstract

Textile production is one of the most important crafts in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age societies and recent interdisciplinary and collaborative work offers crucial new perspectives into this field. The new and updated catalogue of archaeological textile finds presented here clearly demonstrates, even from the few extant finds, that knowledge of the use of fibres and of elaborate textile techniques that were used to produce textiles of different qualities was well developed.00The functional analysis of spindle whorls and loom weights can be explored through experimental archaeology employing newly developed methodologies. The results bring new insights into the types of textile that may potentially have been made by such tools. This is highly pertinent as textile tools often constitute the single most important and plentiful type of evidence for the various stages of textile production in the archaeological record.0.

Abstract

This collection of papers explores whether the Lévi-Straussian notion of the House is a valid concept in aiding the comprehension of the social structure of Bronze Age Aegean societies. The main question that is addressed is whether there was a specific social institution or definable group that, through its materialisation, differentiated itself from other social units, such as nuclear families. While little agreement was reached, the volume succeeds in stressing the advances made in the study of social structure of the Aegean on the basis of material remains. Moreover, the discussions presented demonstrate that the House as an analytical unit allows a better understanding of what on Crete has usually been called 'the elite' - an anonymous group of people with shared values and practices. It is the contention of the editors that such an interpretation of the basal social structure may help understand the unique emergence, development and character of Minoan society, as well as its distinctive material culture.

Abstract

"L'émeri, le smýris grec, est une roche abrasive par excellence. D'après les sources écrites, il est exploité aux époques archaïque et classique. Ce livre, s'intéressant au monde égéen du Néolithique et de l'âge du Bronze (VIe-IIe millénaires av. J.-C.), tente de retracer les origines de cette exploitation et d'en éclairer les modalités. Ce travail propose un outil méthodologique adapté pour l'étude de ce matériel fondé sur une documentation variée et une approche pluridisciplinaire. Une analyse géologique et pétrographique a permis de définir la matière désignée dans la littérature sous le terme 'émeri'."--Back cover
