Fans of Porto Rafti archaeology might want to check out a new article that was just published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Archaeology. The paper, by Sarah Murray and Bartłomiej Lis – both proud BEARS members – reexamines the iconographic repertoire of figural art from the Perati cemetery in light of recent research on Postpalatial society. If you don’t have access to the article, feel free to get in touch and ask for a digital offprint!
Meanwhile, some references to Porto Rafti’s archaeology and discoveries of the BEARS project have been sneaked into a recent little book on long-distance exchange systems in the Aegean Bronze Age. It’s free to read online or download until December 28 – a GREAT little holiday gift for yourself?
Finally, BEARS contributor Robert Stephan has an awesome paper in a volume edited by your faithful BEARS co-director on violence and vnequality in archaeological perspective, which has been published by the University Press of Colorado.
It seems that when it rains BEARS related publications it pours BEARS related publications. Watch this space for a post-holiday post highlighting all of the exciting content that BEARS team members will be contributing to the upcoming Archaeological Institute of America conference in January!
