Leaving No Ashlar Unturned. Definitions, Technical Features and Regional Synopsis of Cut-Stone Masonry in the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age
No full textCut-stone masonry is one of the most prominent features that characterizes monumental architecture, the appearance of which is imbued with symbolic meaning and is a corollary to wholesale changes in the societies of the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean. The workshop held in Louvain-la-Neuve on the 8th and 9th of March 2018 aimed at exploring the specificities of building practices incorporating cut-stone masonry or components in Egypt, Syria, the Aegean, Anatolia, Cyprus, and the Levant in the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC. Specialists of the different regions of the Eastern Mediterranean discussed topics including the structural and formal features of standing architectural remains, extraction and shaping methods, tool kits, the visual effect of ashlar use and the symbolic impact of its abandonment. Before letting the reader enter the core of the volume and explore the range of approaches to ashlar offered by contributors specialized in different geographical areas and sites, it bears upon the editors to provide a terminological and contextual framework in this introductory chapter. Characterizing the forms, techniques and building processes associated with cut-stone masonry in the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age is a daunting task. Data are spread over an extensive geographical and chronological context – the latter often debated – and the description of ashlar components and masonries is often provided with varying degrees of details and a loose terminology. The purpose of this introductory chapter is to provide a reminder of the terminology of cut-stone building components and masonry, to describe the specific techniques related to its production, and to provide a synopsis of ashlar use in the different regions of the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age. This regional synopsis is followed by a presentation of the challenges addressed during the workshop, and which fashioned the research questions addressed in the different, focused, contributions to this volume. These and the present introductory chapter address the research questions through varying case studies, datasets and methodologies, thus providing an in-depth understanding of the use of ashlar in the different regions of the Eastern Mediterranean in the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC, and providing a sound basis for discussion and comparison pertaining to this elaborate building technique

Compte-rendu de « Elite Minoan architecture: its development at Knossos, Phaistos, and Malia. By Joseph W. Shaw, INSTAP Prehistory monographs, 49, xxv, 196 p. INSTAP Academic Press, Philadelphia 2015 »
No full textThe purpose of the book is to study the appearance, development and function of the features that characterize Minoan elite architecture, concentrating on the late Proto- and early Neopalatial periods, i.e. the Middle Minoan (MM) II and MM III phases. To do so, the author focuses on the three palatial sites of Knossos, Phaistos and Malia. The study is set in a purely Cretan setting, as the author views Minoan elite style as an indigenous development, despite the influence of an eastern “idea of monumentality”
Les Maisons au sud du Palais de Malia. Campagne d’étude 2024
Full text linkL’étude en cours des données issues des notes et de la documentation collectées par Olivier Pelon lors de ses sondages permet déjà de suggérer que l’habitat de la fin du Prépalatial et du début du Protopalatial identifié par les fouilleurs dans l’ensemble désigné par le terme « Maisons Sud » s’étendait davantage à l’ouest (sondages Iα, Iβ et Iγ et réexploré dans les sondages Iε, Iθ et XVIII 5). Plus loin au sud-ouest, il faudra encore déterminer si le sondage Iδ a mis au jour des restes du même habitat, ou s’il s’agit là de vestiges distincts éventuellement en relation à l’occupation sous et/ou au sein du Bâtiment Dessenne. Il faudra également vérifier si, comme c’est le cas pour le
matériel issu des anciennes fouilles dans les Maisons A et B, l’occupation de l’habitat ancien au sud du Palais de Malia semble s’achever au cours du Minoen Moyen IB. Comme l’a révélé l’étude du matériel issu des fouilles anciennes, le matériel plus tardif, Minoen Moyen II, semble en effet être mieux représenté dans la zone de la Maison C et du Redan Sud‐Est, c’est‐à‐dire au sud‐est du Palais
Le Quartier Nu (Malia, Crète). L'occupation néopalatiale
No full textL’article présente les résultats des sondages menés dans les niveaux néopalatiaux sous le Quartier Nu à Malia (Crète) entre 1988 et 1993. La stratigraphie, les vestiges architecturaux et le matériel décrits permettent d’identifier plusieurs unités domestiques détruites par un incendie à un stade avancé du Minoen Récent IA, peut-être lié à l’éruption du volcan de Santorin. L’architecture et les fragments d’enduits peints témoignent de la qualité de l’habitat néopalatial, qui reprend en partie les murs de l’occupation antérieure, protopalatiale, et dicte ensuite l’orientation du Quartier Nu au Minoen Récent IIIA2-B
Chapter 6. The Excavation of Zone 5
No full textZone 5, the area on the south-west of the summit of the hill (Trenches BC/BD/BE-76/77/78 and BF/BG/BH/ BJ-75/76/77 on the grid in fig. 1.3) was excavated every summer since 2007. Although a preliminary report of the architectural remains and content of the zone discovered during the 2007 and 2008 campaigns was previously published3, for the sake of convenience, some aspects are reminded here. The south limit of the area excavated as Zone 5 is marked by a series of sturdy walls (E1-E5) which mark a sudden rise in level against the south slope of the hill. Here, a large space called the south area was partly excavated (fig. 6.1). A series of pits cut in the bedrock were located, one of which contained EM ceramics. More excavation (in the west part of this open area) and further study of the already excavated material are needed, however. Still, it can already be asserted that part of this south zone contained some of the earliest settlement remains on the site, as will be underlined below. The cleaning of the western terrace wall of the south area revealed a thick layer of mediumsized stones. These formed the fill supporting the south-west part of this area, very likely built in connection with the establishment of Building E
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
