True to its initial aims, the latest volume of the Journal of Greek
Archaeology runs the whole chronological range of Greek
Archaeology, while including every kind of material culture. Papers
include an overview of a major project investigating Palaeolithic
environments, human settlement and other activities in the Ionian
Islands. Neolithic industries in large stone artefacts link two
papers on the human palaeobiology of populations in the Mycenaean
and then Iron Age eras. Two papers on Greeks abroad enlighten us on
the nature of Greek presence and impact on indigenous society (and
vice versa) in Archaic and Classical Egypt and Southern France. In
a totally contrasted fashion, a long article on the fate of
Southern Greek cities under Rome offers a very negative but
definitively researched analysis on their radical decline.
Architecture makes two appearances for the periods that follow,
firstly for the towns of Crete under Venetian then Ottoman rule,
secondly in the form of Landscape Architecture - the physical
infrastructure of rural land use in the unusual landscape of the
Mani. Finally, to show that Greek Archaeology knows no boundaries
when it comes to material culture, there is a piece on a 21st
century fashion designer who has used ancient art to enrich his
designs. Alongside these papers, there are articles challenging the
accepted view of the Late Bronze 'Sea Peoples', shedding welcome
light on the neglected later prehistory and protohistory of Epiros,
on Greek terracotta figurines and their links to sacrificial
offerings, and finally providing a long-term study of the walls of
Athens over almost two-and-a-half millennia. The full complement of
reviews for almost every period of the Greek Past are also full of
fascinating insights and updates.
