With contributions by Thomas M. Brogan and Sevi Triantaphyllou,
with Costis Davaras, Nikos P. Papadakis, Chrysa Sophianou, Joanna
Bending, Jerolyn E. Morrison, Dimitra Mylona, Maria Ntinou, Douglas
P. Park, and David S. Reese. The results of excavations carried out
at two Late Minoan III sites at Mochlos in eastern Crete are
presented. The stratigraphy and architecture of a total of 31 tombs
and 11 houses are discussed together with a complete list of
artifacts, ecofacts, and skeletal remains from each context. The
cemetery remains mirror the settlement remains, and the conclusions
discuss how the two sites reflect each other. Rarely in Crete are a
settlement and its cemetery both preserved, and it is extremely
fortunate to be able to excavate both.
Mochlos is a Minoan town set on a fine harbour at the eastern side
of the Gulf of Mirabello, in northeast Crete. It was first
inhabited during the Neolithic period, with an important Minoan
settlement occupied during most of the Bronze Age. Mochlos I , to
be published in three volumes, presents the results of the
excavations in the Neopalatial levels of the Artisans' Quarter, and
at the farmhouse at Chalinomouri. The Artisans' Quarter consisted
of a series of workshops with evidence for pottery manufacture,
metalworking, and weaving. Chalinomouri, a semi-independent
farmhouse with strong connections to the nearby island settlement
at Mochlos, was engaged in craftwork and food processing as well as
agriculture. This volume, Mochlos IA, presents the process of
excavation and the architecture; volume IB presents the pottery,
and volume IC will publish the small finds. Contents: The Artisans'
Quarter: Building A; The Artisans' Quarter: Building B; Conclusions
on the Artisans' Quarter; The Chalinomouri Farmhouse; Conclusions
on Chalinomouri; Human Skeletal Remains.
This excavation of a Late Bronze Age town on the island of Mochlos
in northeastern Crete includes the House of the Metal Merchant
(with two large bronze hoards) and 13 other structures. Each
building is described with its stratigraphy, architecture, small
finds, ecofactual materials, function, and room use. This is a two
volume set. Volume 1 contains the text and Volume 2 contains the
Concordance, Tables, Figures, and Plates.
