Between Crete and Anatolia. Metal Finds of the So-Called Lower Interface in the LBA
Original language description
This paper aims to provide a typological analysis of bronze objects from the area of the lower part of the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface in the Late Bronze Age and a comparison to the contemporary finds from Crete. The concept of the Interface was defined by Penelope Mountjoy in 1998 based on ceramics, settlement, and funeral activities. She argued that this territory differs from the neighbouring power centres, such as the island of Crete, the Greek mainland, and Central Anatolia. In this paper, only the lower part of the Interface will be discussed, including the Dodecanese islands and the adjacent Anatolian coast up to Miletus. Some metal finds from the lower part of the Interface seem to have been produced locally, but influence from Crete is still apparent. Furthermore, the typology of metal finds from Crete, such as swords, daggers, razors, and similar items, will be briefly defined. In the second part of this contribution the character of the Lower Interface finds will be represented, and in the final part the two datasets will be compared. To sum up, in the case of typology, some of the bronze items from the Lower Interface show strong Minoan-Mycenaean influence, which is also mixed with influences from other regions (Anatolia, Near East).
