This paper reconsiders the 'Temple House', a building excavated in 1969-70 on the Temple terrace of the site of Lato in eastern Crete. While the building was dated to the Hellenistic (HL) period and identified as domestic space by the excavator, a restudy of the material from the excavation, combined with an examination of the excavation notebooks, and observations on site, reveal a more complex history of use, unusual architectural details, and a heterogeneous range of dates (from Late Minoan (LM) IIIC to HL) and functions, suggesting original funerary and post-funerary cult contexts. It is possible to recognize the remains of a Subminoan (SM)/Protogeometric (PG) burial and evidence for an Early Iron Age (EIA) and HL tomb cult, allowing a reconsideration of the history of Lato and the process of city-state formation in eastern Crete.

“…Crete really is the place that undermines any Athenocentric idea of 'the Classical'. For one thing, Cretan houses remain much simpler than mainland ones throughout the period concerned (Westgate 2007). For another, Cretans made minimal use of Athenian material culture.…”

“…En este punto nos gustaría destacar una serie de estudios que se han encargado de analizar la arquitectura doméstica de época clásica (griega y romana). Un artículo de R. Westgate (2007) ha servido para poner de manifiesto cómo los modelos canónicos de la arquitectura residencial urbana de las polis clásico-helenísticas de centros como Atenas, Delos y Olinto (Pesando 1989) coexistieron con otras formas de concebir la casa griega. Su trabajo utiliza como contrapunto la arquitectura doméstica de varias ciudades clásico-helenísticas en la isla de Creta como Lato, Trypetos o Praisos.…”

ResumenEste trabajo realiza un recorrido por algunas de las principales tendencias teóricas y metodológicas sobre la aplicación de técnicas de análisis sintáctico-espacial para el estudio de edificios y asentamientos arqueológicos. Hemos divido nuestra exposición en una serie de claves temáticas que sirven para agrupar los trabajos y autores comentados. Nuestro análisis nos permite obtener, por primera vez, una síntesis comprensiva sobre la orientación actual de este tipo de aplicaciones en el ámbito de la Arqueología actual. Para concluir nuestro trabajo planteamos una serie de propuestas de futuro que creemos que contribuirán a asentar este tipo de aplicaciones arqueológicas como un elemento destacado en los debates en torno a la ciudad como uno de los problemas fundamentales del ser humano en el siglo XXI.Palabras clave: Arqueología de la arquitectura; Space Syntax; Urbanismo antiguo; Ciudades arqueológicas; Configuración arquitectónica. AbstRActThis paper reviews some current trends on the application of Space Syntax methodologies for the analysis of Archaeological built environments. It has been divided into different thematic points to approach the explanation of related publications and authors in a more comprehensible way. The study of all these works allows establishing the first synthesis on this issue in the current archaeological bibliography. Finally, I propose a serie of application trends that must be faced in the general framework of current debates on the City as one of the main problems in the XXI century.
