The Association of Historical Studies "Koryvantes"
proudly announces its successful participation at the International Archeological Conference with
subject "Second Interdisciplinary Conference: Disasters, Catastrophes and
the Ends of the World in Sources" held at the premises of the University
of Pułtusk, Academy of Humanities in the city of Pultusk, Poland between June 25 and 27 2012.
The members of the Association, Stefanos Skarmitzos,
Nikos Kleisiaris and Dimitrios Katsikis presented to the International Academic
Community the results of their researches on the evolution of ancient Greek
warfare technology. More specifically, an attempt was made to compare two
historical periods of the Greek historical timeline, the Mycenaean and early
Archaic period, through the reconstruction of their respective martial
equipment.
How the unexpected collapse of the Mycenaean palatial
societies in the 12th century set the social basis for the emergence of Archaic
human and hoplite? How the social, religious and economic conditions have
affected the conduct of the war in these two periods? What factors contributed
to the diversification of the military equipment having started in the12th
century BC and ending in the 6th century BC? These are some of the questions
that the "Koryvantes” Association was requested to provide answers to and
to document through experimental archaeology, easily captivating the attention
of the delegates and the high school students specially invited to watch the presentation.
The encouragement of participation to such events from
our Association, not only demonstrates the seriousness of the approach
undertaken by its members on the subject of Ancient Greek Military Technology,
but at the same time constitutes a first class opportunity to promote Hellenic
Culture through the International Scientific Community.
A very big "Bravo" to all those who
undertook the responsibility for this mission.
The Comprehensive study of our Association will be
published in international academic version with the conclusions of the
Conference at the end of 2012.
