Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece: Studies on Ancient Greek Death and Burial
:
This volume is born out of the international workshop for early career scholars entitled ‘Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece’ that was held at the Netherlands Institute at Athens, Greece on December 1-2, 2016. The idea for this workshop stemmed from our mutual interest in ancient Greek death practices, and in understanding how the political, economic, and social realities that characterized Greek history related to funerary ideology and informed the ways in which the Greeks dealt with their dead. Two main questions are central to this problem: 1) how were local social structure and social roles – for example those the elderly or children, men or women, locals or migrants, or the poor or the wealthy – reflected in and motivated the way people were treated in death, and 2) how did large-scale developments such as political change and processes of ‘globalization’ influence death practice on the level of the individual, the social group, the local community, and the region.
Studien zum spätklassischen und frühhellenistischen Städtebau in Arkadien, der Dodekanes und Makedonien /
:
Im 4. Jahrhundert v.Chr. werden drei Regionen der östlichen Mittelmeerwelt durch urbanistische Massnahmen tiefgreifend umgestaltet. Während in Arkadien mit Megalopolis eine neue Metropole entsteht, folgen in der Dodekanes auf die Neugründung von Rhodos die Städtebauprojekte von Halikarnassos, Kos, Knidos und Myndos und in Makedonien baut König Archelaos Pella zu seiner neuen Hauptstadt aus. 0Martin Tombrägel rekonstruiert in seiner Studie Verlauf, Ursachen und Hintergründe der städtebaulichen Vorgänge in diesen drei Regionen unter Berücksichtigung neuerer Ausgrabungsergebnisse. Dabei gilt das Hauptinteresse den urbanistischen Errungenschaften der neuen spätklassischen Städte, in denen u.a. mit der Gestaltung individueller Stadtbilder experimentiert wird. Tombrägel nähert sich seiner Fragestellung unter Berücksichtigung zweier übergreifender Forschungsdiskurse: Einerseits wird analysiert, inwieweit sich die naturräumlichen, geopolitischen und ökonomischen Unterschiede der jeweiligen Regionen auf den Verlauf der Städtebauprojekte ausgewirkt haben, andererseits ist mit der Untersuchung ein methodenkritischer Ansatz verbunden, der danach fragt, wie literarische und archäologische Quellen einzeln und zusammenhängend historisch interpretiert werden können.

Classical Greek tactics : a cultural history /
:
What determined the choices of the Greeks on the battlefield? Were their tactics defined by unwritten moral rules, or was all considered fair in war? In Classical Greek Tactics: A Cultural History , Roel Konijnendijk re-examines the literary evidence for the battle tactics and tactical thought of the Greeks during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Rejecting the traditional image of limited, ritualised battle, Konijnendijk sketches a world of brutally destructive engagements, restricted only by the stubborn amateurism of the men who fought. The resulting model of hoplite battle does away with most received wisdom about the nature of Greek battle tactics, and redefines the way they reflected the values of Greek culture as a whole.

Social identity and status in the Classical and Hellenistic Northern Peloponnese : the evidence from burials /
:
Classical and Hellenistic cemeteries can give us more than descriptions and styles of pottery, art and burial architecture; they can speak of people, societies, social conventions as well as of social distinctions. This book aims to employ and illustrate the unique strengths of burial evidence and its contribution to the understanding of social identity and status in the Classical and Hellenistic Northern Peloponnese.
