John Bennet is Director of the British School at Athens (London) and Professor of Aegean Archaeology at the University of Sheffield. His main research interests include the archaeology of complex societies (particularly the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures of the Bronze Age Aegean); the archaeology and history of Crete; early writing and administrative systems (especially Linear B) and Ottoman Greece. Jack L. Davis is Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. John Bennet is Professor of Aegean Archaeology at the University of Sheffield.
The volume is an important example of the potential of intensive
archaeological investigations of the recent past, with lessons for
archaeologists of the more distant past and for historians
interested in communities 'without history.' For scholars intrigued
and committed to expanding archaeology to include the recent past,
whether to continue the archaeological analysis to the doorstep of
the present or as part of the archaeology of modernity, Zarinebaf,
Bennet, and Davis provide an important case study that fills gaps
in the narrative for Ottoman Greece and is an important incentive
for studies of other regions of the Ottoman realm. Those interested
in the developments of Ottoman archaeology will be rewarded with
the historic details and the rich possibilities indicated by this
research.
