Wood Charcoal from Santorini (Thera): New Evidence for Climate, Vegetation and Timber Imports in the Bronze Age Aegean

Far from being treeless like today, the island had a relatively moist and cool climate with diverse vegetation including open oak woodland. Olive cultivation can be traced back to the Early Bronze Age. Cedar, yew and beech were also imported from Lebanon, Cyprus and Anatolia as artefacts, or for building.

Horseback riding and Cavalry in Mycenaean Greece

This paper argues that horseback riding, which is widely held to be an Iron Age development (of especially the 9th and 8th centuries BC), was practised by members of the aristocracies throughout the eastern Mediterranean as early as the 13th century BC, and that the first cavalry can be identified around the same time in Mycenaean Greece and other regions in the eastern Mediterranean. To that end, a range of iconographical, physical-anthropological and archaeological evidence will be reviewed.

This paper argues that horseback riding, which is widely held to be an Iron Age development (of especially the 9th and 8th centuries BC), was practised throughout the eastern Mediterranean as early as the 13th century BC, and that horsemen were deployed in various capacities around the same time in Mycenaean Greece. To that end, a range of iconographical, physical-anthropological and archaeological evidence, including an interesting Mycenaean krater at the Allard Pierson Museum, will be reviewed.
