DOWNLOAD EBOOKClassical Greeks considered the Mycenaean civilization to be the basis of their glorious and heroic heritage, but its material existence was not confirmed until the excavations of Heinrich Schliemann in the late nineteenth century. In the ensuing years, as with the field of archaeology in general, emphasis has shifted from revealing monuments and finding treasure to dealing with less glamorous, more scientifically-oriented investigations concerning aspects such as social and political organization, economic functions and settlement patterns. With its more than 2000 entries, this reference work serves as both an introduction to and a summary of the study of ancient Mycenaean civilization. Considerably expanded from the first edition, there are 500 new entries representing materials published since 1991. The largest part of the book is made up of annotated bibliography entries arranged topically with introductory material for each section. The book also includes a general introduction to Mycenaean civilization, a glossary, and author, place and subject indexes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe aim of this study is to explore the archaeological evidence from a selection of sites used for religion on Crete from the Middle to Late Minoan period (c.2000-c.1000 BCE), interpreting the symbolism of finds in order to identify the types of deities worshipped there. Finds from a selection of sites are described and discussed, from sanctuaries on hills, caves and rural sanctuaries; where relevant, other elements such as features in the landscape, or the use of a site for the observation of celestial phenomena, are taken into account. Rather than focussing on the development and use of cult material, this study uses iconography with cross-cultural comparisons in order to try to identify the types of deities worshipped and to assess the nature of possible foreign influence on the religion of Crete in the Bronze Age.
