Presenters:Sirsha Nandi, Ph.D. Candidate | English Kevin Glowacki, Associate Professor | Architecture "Architectural Contexts of Ritual Behavior at Shrines of the "Minoan Goddess with Upraised Arms" on Crete during thePostpalatialperiod (ca. 1360-1050 BCE)"Abstracts:Nandi Information forthcoming.GlowackiMy project investigates the architectural contexts of ritual behavior at shrines of the "Minoan Goddess with Upraised Arms" on Crete during thelater part of the Bronze Age(ca. 1360–1050 BCE).Itfocuses on two shrines, one excavated in 1901 at the Minoan city ofGournia, and another at the small hamlet ofKavousiVrondadiscovered in 1987–1990. In association with artifacts found at both sites,the comparative analysis of the architecture provides important evidence for understanding the ritual behavior and religious practices of their respective communities, especially in terms of the construction of space for dedication and display,the creation ofattention focusing devices, and the potential for participationin different types of ritualsby members of the community. Both shrines also speak to the power of place in preserving memory and identity across generations, as both buildings were clearly remembered and reused–probably bydescendent communities –after periods ofsiteabandonment.   Chair: Jennifer Wells | History  Please note that this is not a lecture, and thus, is not suited for class attendance. The Colloquium Series is intended to provide the presenter with a forum to discuss their research and receive feedback from colleagues and peers.
