The Monumental Architecture of Iklaina. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textThe excavations of the Athens Archaeological Society at Iklaina have brought to light a major LH settlementthat is identified with *a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. One of the most strikingfeatures of the site is its monumental architecture, which includes at least two large buildings, two paved roads, a pavedpiazza, and massive built stone drains. The presence of this kind of monumentality outside the traditionally defined‘palaces’, combined with other markers of advanced socio-political complexity, opens up a number of questions regardingthe processes of the unification of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. In the present paper I review the relevant architecturaland stratigraphic evidence and assess its possible implications for this issue. It is concluded that the emergenceof monumental architecture at Iklaina could have been initiated either by the Palace of Nestor following a peacefulannexation of Iklaina in the early Mycenaean period, or by the local Iklaina rulers following a period of continuousgrowth before a forced annexation in LH IIIB
Early Mycenaean Wall Paintings from the Palace of Nestor. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textExcavations at Pylos by Carl Blegen and Marion Rawson produced a vast corpus of wall painting fragmentsbelonging to the final phase of decoration at the so-called Palace of Nestor. The simultaneous discovery of depositsof painted plaster in extramural dumps and intramural construction debris, however, indicated the existence of earlierdecorative programmes at the site. The date of such prior programmes has long been a subject of debate. We can nowbegin to resolve this issue using new information provided by the recent shelter excavations at Pylos, which brought tolight painted plaster fragments in deposits of early Mycenaean date. These fragments, which feature monochrome aswell as abstract and figural decoration, help to refine our understanding of the early stylistic, iconographic, and technologicaldevelopment of wall painting on the Greek mainland. This paper presents an overview of the newly uncoveredearly material and offers preliminary observations about its character in comparison with concurrent developmentselsewhere in prehistoric Greece

No full textWe study the numerical evaluation of the Legendre polynomials onthe interval via a three-term recurrence. We prove that ina neighborhood of an endpoint, the computed approximation exactlyagrees with the line tangent to at this endpoint. As aconsequence, we obtain sharp error bounds for the recurrence

No full text-> Biometric recognition is becoming more and more widespread in consumers’ everyday lives and promises more security. -> Biometric procedures digitise characteristics of the body and can even remain unnoticed. -> In many cases, the processing of biometric data is opaque and difficult to control. Biometrics therefore poses risks for privacy, security, and fundamental rights. -> Regulatory measures can contribute to reduce some of the risks. <br
