TRIPHYLIA AND IONIAN ISLANDS Strategies in Space: The Early Mycenaean Site of Kakovatos in Triphylia ()
S. 59 - 84Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften
Abstract: Kakovatos is mainly known for its three large and richly furnished tholos tombs that rival the wealthiestburials of their time on the Greek mainland. New research in Kakovatos revealed the remains of a building complex ofthe early Mycenaean period on the so-called acropolis. Excavations of the site by Wilhelm Dörpfeld in 1907‒08 hadremained more or less unpublished. The recent fieldwork offered the rare opportunity to explore an early Mycenaeanhabitation site together with the group of associated tombs. The integration of data from neighbouring sites allows usto study the development of Kakovatos in the regional context of Triphylia.The stratigraphy of the excavated building complex provides valuable information about the history of the site in theearly Mycenaean period, when places of regional prominence emerged in the Peloponnese. A rebuilding of an earlierarchitectural phase took place in LH IIB, and during an advanced stage of this phase, the architectural complex wasdestroyed. Just as the tombs stood out among the tombs of the region by their size, expenditure in terms of constructionand wealth of grave offerings, the building complex on the acropolis hill was set apart spatially, clearly visible abovethe Triphylian Plain. We can recognise this as one of the strategies of early Mycenaean elites to elevate themselves symbolically, socially, economically, politically and spatially above the rest of the population. Keywords: Kakovatos, early Mycenaean residential remains, 14C data, stratigraphy, storage, spinning bowls Published Online: 2021/05/25 14:02:27 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003c7f26 Rights: . Die mykenische Kultur Griechenlands (ca. 1700–Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.) hat ein herausragendes materielles Erbe in Form von Gebäuden und Artefakten hinterlassen. Lange konzentrierte sich ihre Erforschung auf Paläste und Grabmonumente. In den letzten Jahren hat sich dies jedoch erheblich geändert, was ein besseres Verständnis der Entstehung der mykenischen Kultur im 17. bis 15. Jahrhundert v. Chr. ermöglicht. Die Beiträge in diesem Band liefern neue Informationen, entweder Erkenntnisse aus neueren Feldforschungen, oder solche, die auf der neuerlichen Analyse zentraler Fundgruppen basieren bzw. umfassende vergleichende Studien darstellen, die durch die Untersuchung von Siedlungen und Gräbern neue Perspektiven auf die Entstehung einer neuen Gesellschaftsordnung eröffnen. …
The Mycenaean culture of Greece (ca. 1700–mid-11th century BC) has left an outstanding material legacy in terms of buildings and artefacts. For a long time, its exploration has focused on palaces and funerary monuments. However, in recent years the state of research has changed significantly, opening up new perspectives for a broader understanding of the emergence of Mycenaean culture in the 17th to 15th centuries B.C. The contributions in this volume provide new information, either insights from recent fieldwork, the fresh analysis of key assemblages, or more comprehensive comparative studies that, by examining settlements and tombs alike, open up new perspectives on the emergence of a new social order.
