SUMMARY:Regional Approaches to Early Greek Society\, 1100–550 BCE
DESCRIPTION:Wir danken dem Zukunftskonzept der Universität Tübingen (DFG 
 ZUK 63) und der Fritz-Thyssen-Stiftung für ihre grosszügige Unterstützu
 ng.\\r\\nMaximilian Rönnberg (Universität Tübingen)\, Veronika Sossau (
 Universität Basel)\\r\\nThe development of early Greek society after the 
 collapse of the Mycenaean palaces has often been reconstructed with the he
 lp of evolutionary models assuming the concept of the polis as the end of 
 these processes. Investigations of the origin of the polis and its related
  structures often relied on concepts originating in the late Archaic and C
 lassical period\, which were projected back on much earlier phases. Little
  room was thus left for regional or chronological variation. Our three-day
  workshop will serve as a platform for discussion of research-prospects in
 to early Greek societies with the aim of moving beyond general concepts of
  the ‘emergence’ and ‘formation’ of the polis. We understand this 
 both as an opportunity to critically engage with current theoretical model
 s and to reflect on potentials and challenges of new approaches in an inte
 rdisciplinary context. The conference will focus on Attica and the differe
 nt regions in Central Greece and the Peloponnese\, while the period of inv
 estigation will range from the 11th to the mid 6th century BCE. This delib
 erately wide frame will allow us to explore complex\, multi-phased develop
 ments of social differentiation in various areas. The methodological spect
 rum includes comprehensive and diachronic investigations of settlements\, 
 burial grounds\, and sanctuaries as well as analyses of specific areas of 
 activity. The latter may be illuminated by archaeological case studies or 
 research on specific types of objects\, texts\, and/or images. Each contri
 bution should\, however\, explicitly speak to the social dynamics characte
 rising the period under investigation. Disentangling our understanding of 
 social change from the teleological perspective of the polis and investiga
 ting such processes within their specific regional contexts will allow us 
 to draw multiple local and also chronologically disaligned pictures of the
  development of early Greek societies.\\r\\nSpeakers: A. Alexandridou (Ioa
