DESCRIPTION:-------- WEDS TALKS: FROM CITY TO VILLAGE: URBAN DISSOLUTION AT
  LATE BRONZE  AGE (1450-1100 BCE) KNOSSOS [1] ----------------------------
 ---------\n\n\n*ABSTRACT: *This talk will investigate processes of urban d
 issolution, a  phenomenon herein defined as the loss of the urban scale. 
 In contrast to the  robust body of archaeological literature on urban form
 ation and urban  maintenance, comparatively few analyses have targeted ur
 ban decline,  particularly in an Aegean context, where the disappearance
  of urbanism has  been presumed the byproduct of the collapse of the state
 . Positioned in  opposition to these narratives, the talk examines the ur
 ban dissolution of  Late Bronze Age Knossos. From the mid-18th to mid-15th
  centuries BCE, Knossos  was the largest city in the Aegean, twice the s
 ize of the region’s other  settlements. About 350 years later, it had los
 t three quarters of its urban  fabric and dwindled to the size of a villag
 e. The talk analyzes how and why  the loss of urbanism occurred, through 
 study of material evidence recovered  by over a century of archaeological 
 exploration in the Knossos valley.\n\n*BIO: * Alice Crowe is a Postdoctora
 l Fellow at the Getty Research Institute.  She received her Ph.D. and M.A.
  from the University of Cincinnati and a B.A.  from Boston University. Her
  research focuses on the archaeology of the Late  Bronze Age Aegean, and 
 centers especially on the site of Knossos, where she  explores issues of 
 memory, urbanism and its loss, and ceramic production and  consumption. 
 For this research, she has received support from the American  School of 
 Classical Studies at Athens, the Archaeological Institute of  America, a
 nd the University of Cincinnati University Research Council. Beyond  ongoi
 ng projects at Knossos, she is publishing Late Bronze Age ceramic  assemb
 lages collected from the sites of Galatas and Tell Atchana, and by a  reg
 ional survey of the Brauron area (ARTEMIS).\n\nDate: Wednesday, May 14,
