Memory, identity and landscape in the Aegean world from XIIth to VIIth century B.C.

Abstract

This study’s main goal is to understand the functions endorsed by the past in the making of Aegean societies between the 12th and 7th centuries B.C. This pivotal period, witnessing socio-political and religious changes, is also the time in which the palatial system collapses and the City-State rises. The concept of memory constitutes the core of our approach. It is an essential component in the identity construction, shaped by the landscape in which men live and evolve. These three concepts need to be treated holistically. This study focuses on the conservation of antiquities, palimpsests of the past, understudied to date. Our first concern was to establish a database of occurrences in burial, domestic, communal and ritual fields. This database constituting the working basis used to conduct typological, geographical and contextual analyses, therefore allowing to integrate the issue of ancient memory in a historical perspective.
