2023

The present monograph offers a systematic analysis of the archaeological evidence from two associated Minoan sites situated at Apesokari in the Mesara Plain of South-Central Crete: Tholos Tomb A, used as the diachronic locus for burial over time, and a multiperiod habitation site on Vigla hill that probably once formed part of the larger settlement in the area. The sites were excavated in 1942 by August Schörgendorfer. This was one of the illicit projects undertaken by the Art Protection Unit of the Wehrmacht in Crete; it resulted in the lack of primary field data documentation and the publication of two brief excavation reports. The book thoroughly reconstructs the natural and social landscape of this Cretan community from the late Prepalatial to the early Neopalatial periods from an interdisciplinary perspective: this includes photogrammetric two- and three-dimensional models of the architectural remains, viewshed analysis of both monuments and of the earlier Tholos Tomb B, as well as A-DNA and stable isotope analysis of the bones. The study of the burial assemblages provides insights into the social construction of collective memory and identity by the burying social group. Finally, the analysis of the habitational deposits from the building on Vigla hill establishes the longevity and function of the site as a node of the southern Mesara communication and exchange networks.
