SUMMARY:An Archaeology and History of Lyktos in Crete\, Greece (ca. 1000 BCE–100 CE).
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registrati
 on is required\; click through for the registration link.  Celebrated 
 by Homer\, considered as the birthplace of god Zeus by Hesiod\, and id
 entified as the cradle of the Spartan constitution by Aristotle\, Lykt
 os boasts an unusually rich literary and epigraphic record. The lectur
 e offers an integrated analysis of this record and the wide-ranging ar
 chaeological discoveries made by ISAW/NYU’s team to shed light on Ly
 ktos for roughly a millennium\, i.e. from its probable foundation ca. 
 1000 BCE\, to the monumentalization of part of its acropolis ca. 100 C
 E. Emphasis is placed on the rich finds from settlement and burial are
 as of the 7th to 5th centuries BCE\, which generate exceptional insigh
 ts into the archaeology and history of a Greek community of the period
 \, and raise important methodological issues over the archaeological v
 isibility of an alleged Dark Age.
