It also provides an introduction to the Hellenistic settlement that flourished on the island for nearly a century before it was abandoned. The Beam-Press Complex, an eight-room building with industrial features, has been chosen as the first topic in the series dealing with Hellenistic Mochlos because it was the first to have been completely excavated and was also one of the best-preserved contexts from this period. The book is divided into five chapters and accompanied by six appendices. Chapter 1 provides a room-by-room description of the building, including a description of its stratigraphy and finds, and a discussion of the way the room was probably used. Chapter 2 describes the pottery, Chapter 3 the stone implements, and Chapter 4 the ceramic, glass, metal, and shell objects. Chapter 5, the concluding chapter of the book, expands on the subject of the role that Mochlos played in East Crete and its relations with Hierapytna during the Late Hellenistic period.

archaeologist ever to work in Greece, and no American has ever had a greater impact on Greek archaeology. Yet Blegen, unlike several others of his generation, has found
no biographer. In part, the explanation for this must lie in the fact that his life was so multifaceted: not only was he instrumental in creating the field of Aegean prehistory, but Blegen, his wife, and their best friends, the Hills (“the
family”) were also significant forces in the social and intellectual community of Athens. Authors who have contributed to this book have each researched
one aspect of Blegen’s life, drawing on copious documentation in the United States, England, and Greece. The result is a biography that sets Blegen and his closest colleagues in the social and academic milieu that gave rise to the discipline of classical archaeology in Greece.

The 38 papers presented here range from a discussion of household activities at Final Neolithic Phaistos to the domestic correlates of "globalization" during the early Roman Empire. These studies demonstrate a variety of methodological approaches currently employed for understanding houses and household activities. Key themes include understanding the built environment in all of its manifestations, the variability of domestic organization, the role of houses and households in mediating social (and perhaps even ethnic) identity within a community or region, household composition, and of course, household activities of all types, ranging from basic subsistence needs to production and consumption at a supra-household level.

Systematic field work over the last thirty years has also enriched our knowledge of the historical periods represented at the site. By 100 BC there is significant archaeological evidence that Mochlos had fallen under Hierapytna’s control, as part of the city’s expansion to the island’s N coast. The partial destruction of the settlement in the early 1st century BC may be associated with Metellus’s military campaigns on Crete (69-67 BC). Yet, Mochlos managed to recover and prosper until the last quarter of
the century, when it was completely abandoned. My paper reviews recent scholarship concerned with occupation of the site in the Late Hellenistic period and its relations with Hierapytna; it also presents new evidence that pushes up the date of the Mochlos settlement into the Middle Hellenistic period and traces its activity through the last quarter of the 1st century BC. I view both types of evidence within the larger historical and archaeological contexts of Eastern Mirabello and the Isthmus of Hierapytna, and discuss their impact on our understanding of Hellenistic East Crete.

The partial destruction of the settlement in the early 1st century BCE may be associated with Metellus’s military campaigns on Crete (69– 67 BCE).
Nevertheless, Mochlos managed to recover and prosper until the last quarter of the century, when it was completely abandoned. In this paper I review briefly past work concerned with the occupation of the site in the late Hellenistic period and its close relations with the city of
Hierapytna. I then present new evidence from recent field work concerning changes in the material culture of the settlement during the first decades of Roman rule on Crete.

My name is Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan – archivist, archaeologist, historian, wife and mother. These are pages from my notebook.

I studied Classical Archaeology in Greece (University of Thessaloniki) and the United States (Bryn Mawr College), and have conducted field work in East Crete for many years. Since 1994, I have served the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as head of its archives, from which I draw inspiration for most of my writings in this blog. Together with Jack L. Davis, I recently co-edited a volume titled Philhellenism, Philanthropy, or Political Convenience? American Archaeology in Greece, Hesperia 82:1, Princeton 2013. Jack, Vivian Florou, and I have just published another edited volume, titled Carl W. Blegen: Personal and Archaeological Narratives (Atlanta: Lockwood Press 2015).

“From the Archivist’s Notebook” will appear once a month (on the 1st), occasionally twice (then also on the 15th) if there is a guest contribution.

Here you will also will find essays contributed by guest authors who are involved in similar kinds of archival research: viz., the history of institutions and the role of individual agency in them. These essays will include their musings on books, articles, and exhibition catalogs relevant to their research interests. Until now, guest bloggers Jack Davis, Jacquelyn Clements, Liz Ward Papageorgiou, Vivian Florou, and Curtis Runnels have written on a variety of themes (see Authors).

Finally, opinions in From the Archivist’s Notebook are those of the authors. Comments are moderated, but publication of a comment does not indicate an endorsement of the opinions expressed.

The trauma of displacement had a profound impact on their lives and literary imagination. Their stories resonate deeply on this 100th anniversary of the tragic events of 1922. A final section explores the work of important Turkish authors, activists, and intellectuals whose literature centers on the contemporary Turkish experience, as that population confronted war and disruption in the creation of a new state.
