Minoans in the Central, Eastern & Northern Aegean – New Evidence: Acts of a Minoan Seminar 22-23 January 2005 in collaboration with the Danish Institute at Athens & the German Archaeological Institute at Athens

This book features hitherto unpublished finds from the Minoan Palace periods discovered in major and minor excavations of recent years in the central, eastern and northern Aegean. The sites in the Aegean are Thera, Ios, Karpathos, Rhodes, Lemnos and Samothrace, while the west coast of Asia Minor are represented with the Urla peninsula (Cesme), Teichioussa, Iasos, Miletus and Troy. The papers discuss finds such as pottery, loom weights, other small finds, administrative written and sealed documents, and architecture seen in relation to questions like trade, ‘minoanising’ and colonization. The central issues of the conference are discussed among Aegean scholars in the last chapter.
