Donald Haggis is Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classics and the Curriculum in Archaeology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research interests include settlement structure in the Aegean; the archaeology of Prepalatial, Protopalatial, and Early Iron Age Crete; and the development of early cities and small-scale states in the Aegean. He is a research associate in the Research Laboratories of Archaeology; co-editor of the journal Aegean Archaeology (AEA) (Warsaw); and director of the Azoria Project —the excavation of a Final Neolithic, late Prepalatial, Early Iron Age-Archaic site in eastern Crete. The excavations at Azoria explore problems in urbanization and state-formation in the Early Iron Age and Archaic period (ca. 1200-600 BC). The most recent reports on this fieldwork can be found on Academia.edu or the Azoria Project Archive in the Carolina Digital Repository:

CIVIC ARCHITECTURE AND THE SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN ARCHAIC CRETE. THE CASE OF AZORIA IN THE 6TH CENTURY B.C.Edizioni Quasar

by Donald Haggis and Rodney D Fitzsimons

Pelargos 1, 2020

Early Greek urbanization has been linked to processes evidently underway during the 8th-6th centu... more Early Greek urbanization has been linked to processes evidently underway during the 8th-6th centuries B.C.: the demarcation of an agora; the formalization of sanctuaries and monumentalization of temples; the relocation and marginal-ization of cemeteries; and eventually, the structuring of political, residential, industrial, and mercantile spaces. While these developments are neither coterminous nor consistently in evidence throughout the Aegean, Crete remains a significant outlier. The island is known historically for its early cities, but we know remarkably little about their archaeology until the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C., when sites such as Lato and Dreros may provide material evidence for features such as putative agoras, places for civic assemblies, sanctuaries, and residential zones. This paper examines public or civic architecture at the Archaic site of Azoria, arguing that the sociopolitical organization of early Crete may have generated distinctive forms of urban architecture, differing remarkably from those typically associated with cities in the Classical Aegean.
