Professor Wolf-Dietrich Niemeier (Honorary Director of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens) and Associate Professor Ourania Kouka (Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Cyprus) will address the topic “Cycladica from Heraion and Miletus”, as part of the Cycladic Seminar series, organized by Marisa Marthari.
In this lecture Cycladica discovered in recently excavated cultural levels at Heraion on Samos and at Miletus dating from the late 5th – early 2nd mill. BC will be presented. The new Cycladica will be discussed within their context, while the scale and the value of similar finds from East Aegean sites will be taken into consideration in order to define patterns of changing networks of cultural interaction between the Cyclades and the East Aegean throughout the aforementioned millennia.
