In Search of Lost Time: Gold Jewelry in Minoan Crete

Join us as returning lecturer Dr. Jane Hickman, Consulting Scholar in the Mediterranean Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, discusses gold jewelry discovered in Crete. The earliest examples date to the Prepalatial period, circa 3100–1900 BCE. A comprehensive study of these splendid artifacts provides insight into where they were found and how they were made, as well as the role such refined jewelry played in Minoan society. Evidencing superb craftsmanship, objects such as diadems, golden flowers, and leaves may have been used in ritual performances to create and reinforce individual and collective memory.
