	ANISTORITON: In Situ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		A large ceramic larnax from Mochlos, East-Crete, had to be conserved and reconstructed for the purpose of photography in a period of seven weeks for Prof.
		Since there was no option of moving the larnax into the photography studio (due to space restriction) where everything is set up for sucessful documentation, background paper had to be cut out from large rolls, both in white and blue as required, and fit in place around the larnax in the conservation laboratory.
		The larnax withstood several transports to and from the storage area in the Center in the summer of 1998, thus revealing the true strength of the conserved object.

		Also, on the upper left vessel one can see a single sail, and diagonal lines on the hull which may be decorative or a more integral feature of the ships design.
		These may have be to catch the winds higher up in the atmosphere than was to be achieved at decklevel, one of the reasons that topsails were introduced in the post-medieval period.

	The Royal Tombs at Aigai: a Museum on the Site by Greece Museums Guide - #1 Travel Guide to Greek Culture
		In the burial chamber was found a marble sarcophagus, inside which was a gold larnax containing the ashes of the dead king and his crown.
		The larnax, the crown, the weapons (most notable among which is the shield), the mortuary couch, the rest of the personal effects, and grave goods are displayed in showcases in the open space in front of Philip’s tomb.
		The larnax must have contained the ashes of Kleopatra, Philip’s youngest wife, who was assassinated immediately after her husband.

		Found within a two-chambered royal tomb unearthed at Vergina, Greece, in November 1977, the nearly complete skeletal remains of a man, 35 to 55 at the time of death (Philip was 46 when he died), had been placed within a golden chest, or larnax, bearing an embossed starburst, the emblem of the Macedonian royal family.
		Also within the burial were a gilded silver diadem, an iron helmet, an elaborate ceremonial shield, an iron and gold cuirass, and two small ivory portrait heads believed to represent Philip II and Alexander.
		Although there is mounting evidence that these are not the bones of Philip II, future research may provide the fine-tuning necessary to determine the true identity of those buried in the tomb.

		The larnax is generally believed to belong to king Philip II of Macedon.
		This was seen by Greece as a direct claim by FYROM on the legacy of Philip II (and therefore his son, Alexander the Great), a territorial claim on the Greek province of Macedonia, the Vergina site, and a claim on the larnax itself.
		The Vergina Sun was removed from the FYROM's flag in 1995, as part of an agreement for the country's admission to the United Nations.

		The assumption that they are therefore contemporary is usually valid in geology, with its enormous time spans, but certainly not in archaeology, where time lag must be allowed for.

		Drawing on the evidence both from burials and from settlement archaeology, the author argues for the latter for the Middle Bronze Age Levant, demonstrating that tombs do not necessarily give an accurate picture of the lives of the people buried in them.
		These include larnax burials at Gezer and the Persian Garden in Acco and the numerous double-pithos burials at Tell es-Sa'idiyeh in the Jordan Valley.
		In the case of the two larnakes, the author uses data from the burials to assess the place of these foreigners in their adopted societies.

	American Journal of Archaeology / Article Abstract
		This report presents the results of an excavation in the area of Kalo Khorio-Istron in eastern Crete, which recovered a portion of a Protopalatial (Middle Minoan I-II) cemetery and a well-preserved Early Minoan I house.
		Although Prepalatial and Protopalatial house tomb architecture from the eastern end of the island is well documented, all too frequently the internal configuration of burials--particularly larnax and pithos interments--is ill defined or poorly preserved.
		The possible internal arrangement of a group of larnax burials is illustrated here, and questions of chronology, function, and secondary burial practices are considered.

		It may be either a small portable article for a single interment (larnax, pithos, urn) or a cave or built structure to take a number of burials (chamber tomb, tholos).

	~Who Were Buried In Tomb II At Vergina~
		The skeleton found in the gold larnax in the main chamber was almost complete, and was therefore said to be a man between the age of 35 and 55, of approximate height 167.3 to 168.9 cm (Musgrave 1991, 3).
		The reason for believing this as the true date of the tomb is that the goods were never used and therefore should indicate the time of interrment.
		Two silver vases, two bronze jugs, two gold gorgoneions and the decoration of the larnax all help to date the tomb in the same time frame.

		The archaeology of animal sacrifice has attracted considerable attention, although discussions on the meanings and social effects of the practice in different contexts are rather under-developed.
		It is suggested that, rather than focusing on possible continuities of the practice through to the classical period (an issue which remains ambiguous), sacrifice should be meaningfully discussed within the broader framework of the archaeology of feasting, and more generally food consumption, as a socially important, sensory embodied experience.

		The 'Cretan Zeus' and 'Zeus of the Double Axe' are such familiar titles that it is surprising that Minoan archaeology offers very lttle evidence for the existance of a god, and no proof whatsoever of the existance of a god of such power as we associate with Zeus.
		It seems that the truth is that the Achaeans introduced Zeus into Crete at the close of the Bronze age, had him born by the Earth Goddess in her own cavw sanctuary, and gave him the Cretan symbol of soveriegnty, the double axe with which she ahd been honored.
		The sarcophagus is unusual in that it is a rare stone version of the otherwise common enough terracotta burial chest or larnax.

		The study concludes with a presentation of eight foreign burial types that originated in different places and arrived in Canaan during different phases of the Late Bronze Age: bench burial caves, loculi burial caves, bilobate burial caves, open pits, structural chambers, and larnax, coffin and jar burials.
		The nonepigraphic data of archaeology, are hardly sufficient, however, for an understanding of death, death ritual and the theological and sociological inferences of mortuary practice.
		The archaeological data must be viewed in light of the literary evidence and, here too, the horizons of our knowledge have been expanded through discovery of pertinent epigraphic evidence, notably the Ugaritic texts among other sources (Lewis 1989; Tromp 1969 and Healey 1977).
