Mastos in the Berbati Valley. An intensive archaeological survey By Michael Lindblom & Berit Wells (eds.) This study presents the results of a small but intensive surface survey conducted on the Mastos Hill in the Berbati Valley in 1999. While remains from the Early and Late Helladic period were known from previous excavations on its southern and eastern slopes, this is the first analysis of the entire hill. It includes a digital documentation of the local topography as well as an account of the archaeological remains retrieved in the field. The study fills a gap in different data sets and results gained through old excavations and the extensive 1988–1990 Berbati-Limnes survey. The introductory chapter summarizes previous work in the valley, discusses its ancient routes of communication and outlines the method employed in the archaeological survey. This is followed by an account of the topographical survey and the geographical information system used. In the six following chapters the archaeological remains are presented and analyzed in a diachronic fashion. It is concluded that the hill was…

This volume is the first in a series of seven, presenting the results of the Greek-Swedish Excavations in the Agia Aikaterini Square close to the harbour in the modern town of Khania, western Crete.

Asine 3. Supplementary studies in the Swedish excavations 1922–1930 Fasc. 1. Supplementary studies in the Swedish excavations 1922–1930 Edited by Robin Hägg, Gullög C. Nordquist & Berit Wells Published by the Swedish Institute at Athens. Distributed by Astrom Editions. This is a collection of eleven papers inaugurating a new series of supplementary studies on the material from the old Swedish excavations at Asine. The first is a summary of the work undertaken between 1922 and 1930 and is intended to help in the study of the published reports and of the unpublished documentation. In further papers additional information is given on the Middle Helladic graves of the Lower Town, the Late Mycenaean terracotta head called “The Lord of Asine” is re-studied, and pottery and small finds from Mycenaean chamber tombs are discussed, including some technical aspects, such as the use of tin foil on pots. A group of Mycenaean vases from the village of Zafer Aga is published for the first time. Another paper deals with the animal bones from the Lower town of Asine. Finally, a concordance of the numbers of the graves and skeletons found at Asine is given as a tool for scholars who wish to work…

Published by the Swedish Institute at Athens. Out of print. Open access, use link below. The Dionysiac mysteries of the Hellenistic and Roman age By Martin P. Nilsson Conclusions (excerpt) The mysteries of Dionysos appealed to well-to-do people who loved a pleasant and luxurious life. The banquet of the blessed Dead appealed to the taste of a public that was fond of the pleasures of life and did not take religion too seriously. The mysteries of Dionysos appealed to people who from education and conservatism kept to the old culture and religion and yielded less easily to the lure of the more demanding foreign religions, but who still wanted a little thrill of religion as a spice to the daily routine. These characteristics explain the popularity of the Bacchic mysteries of the well-to-do classes, and they explain also why they have left so few traces, except for inscriptions and monuments, in the history of late paganism. These people were not in earnest about religion. The creation of new Dionysiac mysteries in the Hellenistic age and their popularity in Roman times, the attachment of their adherents to the enjoyment of life, their belief in a happy afterlife, their love of children,…

Neque tamen fieri non potuit, quin scrupulus quidam iniceretur, reputanti quanto simplicius negotium foret, si post mortem auctoris illa ederentur, quippe cum ad verbum, apertis solum mendis correctis, exprimi par esset. Qui vero sua ipse opera iterum prelo mandare audeat, ab eo tuo iure exspectes, ut illa diligenter, novissima quaeque scripta et inventa respiciens. Quod si ego facere aggressus essem, vereor ne futurum fuerit ut vitae spatium seni non sufficeret. Itaque satis habui paucissima et quae iamdudum adnotassem addere, more solito uncis inclusa. Menda tacitus correxi. Multa sane opuscula per longum aevum conscripsi, neque omnia denuo edere placuit.
