2010 •
The evolution of urban water management in ancient Greece begins in Crete during the Middle Bronze and the beginning of the Late Bronze Ages (ca. 2000–1500 B.C.) when many remarkable developments occurred in several stages as Minoan civilization flourished on the island. One of its salient characteristics was the architectural and hydraulic function of its water supply and sewerage systems in the Minoan Palaces and several other settlements. These technologies, though they do not give a complete picture of water supply and wastewater and storm water technologies in ancient Greece, indicate nevertheless that such technologies have been used in Greece since prehistoric times. Minoan water and wastewater technologies were diffused to the Greek mainland in the subsequent phases of Greek civilization, i.e. in the Mycenaean, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods. The scope of this article is the presentation of the most characteristic forms of ancient hydraulic works and relat...

Urban Water Management in Ancient Greece: Legacies and LessonsIn this article the political composition of Greece during the Late Bronze Age will be evaluated. Hittite texts indicate that during the 13th century a Great King of a land Ahhiyawa resided somewhere in the Aegean. By implication, this land should have been of substantial territorial size. Other contemporary sources, however, do not refer to this entity. The Linear B texts, for example, suggest that the palatial centres of Mycenaean Greece exercised only regional rule. At first glance archaeology does neither contradict nor support either view. The discrepancies between the various sources will be examined in order to locate Ahhiyawa, to establish its territorial extent, its political composition, and its place in the Late Bronze Age world of Great Kings.

Cura Aquarum in Greece - Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on the History of Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering in the Mediterranean Region2017 •
The Deutsche Wasserhistorische Gesellschaft (DWhG), or German Water His-tory Association, is a non-commercial organisation that fosters knowledge and awareness of the history of water management and hydraulics. To do so, DWhG organises conferences and publishes books and proceedings on related topics. DWhG has roughly 400 members worldwide, all interested in the his-tory of water, and representing all scientific fields, from engineering and hy-drology to archaeology and history, as well as humanistic studies. This inter-disciplinary convergence often triggers new ideas, insights, and solutions for particular problems or questions. Since its foundation in 2002, the DWhG has published 26 volumes, most of which cover a special regional or temporal aspect. Additionally, 16 special volumes – mostly monographs – have been published. This enormous coverage indicates the need for scientific literature dealing with water history at the interface of the sciences and humanities. This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th Cura Aquarum International Conference on the History of Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering in the Mediterranean Region, held in Athens, Greece, from the 28th to 30th of March 2015. This conference was organised jointly by Anna Androvitsanea and Henning Fahlbusch, who recruited participants conducting research on various aspects of ancient water management in Greece. Consequently, the evolution of water management in Greece is subject of most of the contributions, which cover all phases from the Minoan and My-cenean periods to recent water supply systems. Five papers deal with the water management of particular parts of Athens, allowing for a better under-standing of the development of that city’s infrastructure. Case studies from Corinth, Olympia, Naxos, Megara, and Piraeus complement this coverage. As pointed out by Henning Fahlbusch, in both his keynote lecture in Athens and in his contribution to the proceedings, Greece can be regarded as the cradle of water management in Europe. The other reports within this volume certainly support this hypothesis. This volume is completed by case studies from across the Mediterranean re-gion (e.g., Israel) as well as a compilation of hydraulic structures used for sewage and water supply systems in Egypt. Further contributions focus on special topics like ancient water clocks, Roman lead pipes, qanats, and other hydraulic features. This broad variety of topics reflects the importance of water-studies in very diverse disciplines across engineering, the natural and social sciences, and the humanities. This is the first time that the conference proceedings published by DWhG have not been not edited by Christoph Ohlig. It was my great honour to work with him to learn how to do the editorial work. He taught me his diligent and thorough way of working. Editing this volume, I have gained new apprecia-tion for how much labour and time he invested in more than 15 years of pub-lishing the more than 40 volumes that precede this one. It is due to his dedica-tion that the published series of DWhG has become such a success. And it is due to the handing over of this editorship, that authors and colleagues had to wait quite a long time until these proceedings were finally finished.
