Department of Archaeology ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH AT NOTTINGHAM Greece - the city: Philippi in Macedonia Philippi: the results of a geophysical survey by A.G. Poulter and P. Strange Introduction At the invitation of Professor G. Gounaris (University of Thessaloniki), a geophysical survey was carried out to assess the potential of the method for exploring the interior of the ancient city (12th - 17th July 1995). It appears that the city was laid out on two different street-grids. The first respects the via Egnatia as it traverses the city from the western 'Crenides' gate (B11) as far as its junction with the 'diagonal road' (M7). The agora as well as insulae to the south-west and south-east of it follow a north-east by south-west alignment. However, the two buildings in the southern half of the lower city (G4, K5) follow a different orientation (north-west by south-east) which suggests that this part of the city was laid out at right angles to the 'diagonal road' (H5-O7). The primary objective of the programme was to ascertain whether resistivity surveying could locate buildings and roads within the southern, lower part of the city. Since all three areas lay south of the 'diagonal road', it was reasonable to expect that all buildings and roads located would follow the grid-plan used in the lower, southern part of the city. Conditions appeared propitious: paved roads survived and excavation had demonstrated that walls of buildings north of the 'diagonal road' were preserved almost to topsoil. Consequently it seemed likely that split-dipole resistivity surveying might prove successful. The survey was carried out in three areas (FIGS. 1 and 2). In each case, survey squares were 20 x 20 m in size and readings were taken at one metre intervals, a procedure which proved a reasonable compromise between the need to make rapid progress and the need to provide an adequate resolution for buried features. The location of the areas was constrained by field boundaries. Unfortunately, this meant that the surveys had to be carried out on the same orientation as the anticipated layout of the street-grid.

Theseus suppressed crime and brought the natives of Attica together into the first democracy. He saved the Athenian children from the Minotaur, but his kidnap of the queen of the Amazons brought trouble, and he ended his days in disgrace. Lycurgus T he Father of Sparta circa 800 B.C.) Lycurgus established harmony, simplicity, and strength in Sparta. This warrior society tamed its youth through systematic education aimed at developing leadership, courage, public spirit, and wisdom. Solon The Lawmaker of Athens circa 600 B.C.) Athens, unlike Sparta, was a money-mad commercial city. The constitution framed by Solon mitigated the class struggle between the rich and the poor, and allowed for the growth of democratic institutions. Aristides "The Just"

Over One Hundred Million Pages Served Thank You for Visiting EAWC Why Study Ancient World Cultures? An Essay by Bill Hemminger The question that initiates this program is a broad one: Why study ancient cultures? You might feel that the question is moot: students do study and will study ancient cultures; such study is an expected part of a tradition of intellectual development. The response to the why of the initial question is a matter of tradition, if not fact. A study of the ROMAN EMPIRE a reading of Greek philosophy and literature, a look at the PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT these are all accepted parts of a Western education, aren't they? Probably so: even today, in the plurality of approaches to the study of history and to the study of cultures, people talk about PLATO or DANTE or Krishna or Mohammed. But there is an important proviso: How you approach ancient cultures (or any other culture, for that matter) and how you conceive of the people of such distant worlds are of paramount importance. At this point, you might ask yourself these two additional questions: Do we study these cultures because, to some extent, all cultures share certain characteristics? Does our own culture reflect aspects of these other cultures? The answer to the first of the two questions has historically been found in a discussion of universality. Consider, for a moment, the case of Arjuna in

169. Economics In Ancient Greece An essay on the economics and barter in ancient greece. http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/Classics/EconomicsinGreece.html

TRADE AND BARTER IN ANCIENT GREECE: When we discuss the economics of the ancient world, we must be careful not to use the formal Economics which we employ in analyzing our own society, since Economics is a function of the way a society runs, not the set of rules under which a given society operates. We cannot remove ourselves from awareness of the economic disciplines which our schools teach, and even if we formally try to suspend Economics as a framework, we retain the image of the economic framework in our language and our general pool of ideas. Yet some distancing of ourselves from modern economic theory is necessary in starting an investigation of a foreign world, in order to let the economic operations of that world display themselves in their own documentation. We must construct some kind of intellectual tabula rasa for use in studying an area which is far removed in time and from a documentary point of view relatively unknown. When we speak of Economics of the Ancient World, we usually think of the work pioneered by Rostovtzeff and his followers, of the interpretation of history from an economic point of view, and of the study of epigraphic and papyrological materials which bear on costs and commodities. But there is a much earlier layer of historical material, which strangely is incorporated in the quasi-religious cloak of Greek Mythology. When one compares the myths of ancient Greece with those of ancient India, one sees that the Indian myths are essentially spiritual in nature, while the Greek myths show a disorganized array of unconvincing religion, erratic personal histories, and what appear to be fragmented chapters in the history of the rise of civilization after the last glacial retreat. It is the thesis of this paper that parts of the early Greek, and even the pre-Greek historical record became embalmed in the Greek myths, which themselves were rigidified into literary storytelling by the time of the Hellenistic academies, and finally petrified into the "myth systems" of Apollodoros and others, before being buried by a hostile Christianity.

171. Goddess Worship In Ancient Greece Introduction to ancient worship of the female Greek gods including Demeter and Kore, Hecate, Hera, others. http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~clit387/Worship.html

Goddess Worship in Ancient Greece back to welcome back to usage/index Introduction Aphrodite ... Conclusion Dating back to the Neolithic Period, through 300 B.C., and even up to the Middle Ages, Goddess worship has been practiced in Greece. Through rituals and religious practices the significance of Goddess worship is immense. In correlation to the gender roles in Ancient Greek society, worship can be seen as a phenomenal and freeing experience. In researching the various practices and festivals to the Goddesses, and Gods, of ancient Greece, it became necessary to recognize the importance of worship as compared to the status of women of the time. Women who were only defined through their biology and which hearth they were connected, either their fathers or husbands. In examining the worship of the Goddesses and Gods within this period, what comes to light is the specific roles of these divine beings, as well has the freedom worship allowed women. In comparison to the gender roles prevalent during ancient Greek times, what became apparent was the gamut of feminine and masculine values that women could embrace. It is the celebration of these values of which we decided to write. Aphrodite by Lisa Maria Andreoli One of the most well known stories of Aphrodite is that of Paris and the Golden Apple. Eris, also known as Discord, was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Out of anger and embarrassment, she created a golden apple to be the prize in the beauty pageant to beat all pageants between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Zeus was immediately approached as judge, but sent the goddesses, led by Hermes, to Mount Ida near Troy, where Paris, prince of Troy, would judge them. In the end, Aphrodite managed to bribe Paris by promising to assist him in the abduction and wedding of Helen. Paris had wanted Helen, yet she was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta.

It is divided into five parts: Daily Life, Land and Time, Economy, Religion and Death, and extra topics. Each of these sections is further subdivided for your convience. The National Archaeological Museum of Athens provides a very comprhensive set of images from its unparalleled collection. The Iraklion Archaeological Museum has an excellent collection of Bronze age finds from the island of Crete. A must visit for students of the Minoan culture. The British Museum has an unparalled collection of artifacts from the begining of the Bronze age. The Perseus Project mounted by Tufts University (near Boston) has organized a tremendous amount of Ancient Greek material. Part of their work brings together lots of pictures of Greek artifacts from many museums around the world. Two good things to look at are COINS and VASES The Perseus Project people let you search in a lot different categories, including animals, atheletics and historical people. Once you have chosen a category you just have to keep clicking until you get a picture ... with their stories and some pictures. They even let you search by vase shapes. Try clicking on "select another kind of search" if you want to search vases by period or region.Don't bother to click on "collection" because it just shows you who owns the vases today.
