SUMMARY:AIA Lecture: Crete\, the Aegean\, and the Near East in the Early 1st Millennium BCE
DTSTART:20190924T220000Z

DESCRIPTION:Note: we are now fully booked for this event\, and we are 
 no longer accepting names for the wait-list. The dense and complex net
 works of interaction connecting the prehistoric Aegean and the Near Ea
 st were severely dismantled ca. 1200 BCE. In the course of the early 1
 st millennium BCE new and very different networks of interaction emerg
 ed through the agency of people from both regions\, and by the 7th cen
 tury BCE Greek culture was strongly Orientalizing. Crete was once take
 n to hold a key role in this process and to be the cradle of the Greek
  Orientalizing culture\, as the intellectual tradition of Pan-Cretism 
 had it. More recently\, however\, the island has been seen as a passiv
 e periphery and a cultural backwater in this period. My paper offers a
  corrective approach to these contrasting interpretations.
