The A.G. Leventis Foundation and the German Archaeological Institute at Athens
are inviting you to attend the
INTERNATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SYMPOSIUM
CYPRUS AND EAST AEGEAN:
Intercultural contacts from 3000 to 500 BC
Samos, October 17th – 18th 2008
The cultural contacts between Cyprus and the East Aegean start in the 3rd mill. BC, when the island of copper adapted the know-how of tin bronze from the Southeast and the South coast of Anatolia. The contacts are getting more intensive in the 2nd mill. BC, when Cyprus dominates in the Mediterranean as the most important supplier of copper and welcomes colonists from Mycenaean Greece. This relationship reaches its peak in the Iron Age under the supervision of new political entities, the Cypriot Kingdoms. The contacts between these geographical regions are differentiated through the ages regarding the direction and the purpose, as well as the quality and the quantity.
The Symposium aims to study various aspects of the cultural interaction between Cyprus, Western Anatolia and the East Aegean islands from the Bronze through the Iron Ages (3000-500 BC) based upon the archaeological evidence and the archaeometric analyses. Trade sea-routs, exchange of raw materials and technologies (ceramic, metallurgical, sculpture etc), economic structures, settlement organization, political organization and political schemes, religion and ritual practices, social organization and methods of social demonstration are the main aspects to be discussed in this symposium.
The International Archaeological Symposium will take place on the 17th and 18th October 2008 at Doryssa Bay Hotel-Village, Pythagoreion, Samos. The papers will be held in English and will last 20 minutes. Below you will find the list of the speakers and the titles of the papers. The final programme will be announced soon.
The Symposium does not include any fees. In case you would like to attend it, you are kindly requested to confirm your participation to the Organizing Committee until August 31st 2008 and arrange your accommodation by yourself either at the place the Symposium will be held or elsewhere.
