Minoans and Mycenaeans: Flavours of their time
edited by Yannis Tzedakis and Holley Martlew
To say this book is innovative, challenging and has far-reaching consequences in the field of archaeology, would be an understatement. Accompanying an exhibition held in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens (July-November 1999) this is a unique study of the eating and drinking habits, health, disease and medicine of the Mycenaean and Minoan civilisations. It is based on the most up-to-date scientific techniques testing residues from ...

The Troubled Island: Minoan Crete Before and After the Santorini Eruption
by Jan Driessen and Colin MacDonald
With a large amount of supporting evidence, this book argues that a sequence of changes in society triggered by the Santorini eruption, caused the collapse of Late Minoan IA/IB culture. The argument itself is not new but the careful study of the processes that took place after the eruption is unique. The authors argue that the natural diaster of Santorini caused major problems in food production and distribution which undermined the status of the ...

Aegean Wall Painting: A Tribute to Mark Cameron
edited by L. Morgan
Until his premature death in 1984 at the age of 45, Mark Cameron made a unique contribution to the study of Minoan wall painting; his published articles continue to inspire a new generation of Aegean wall painting and have expanded our perception of the Aegean and its relations with the neighboring cultures during the second millennium BC. This volume, dedicated to the memory of Mark Cameron, now brings together leading scholars in a presentation ...

Labyrinth Revisited: Rethinking `Minoan' Archaeology
edited by Yannis Hamilakis
Minoan Crete is one of the most intensively investigated archaeological cultures in the world, and one that has often captured the public imagination. It is a Bronze Age Aegean society, but it has been intimately connected with the Classical Greek myth of King Minos and his Labyrinth since Sir Arthur Evans excavated and restored (some would say ôrebuiltö) the important site of Knossos, more than a century ago. Yet many archaeological ...

Kavousi IIA: The Late Minoan IIIC Settlement at Vronda. The Buildings on the Summit
by Leslie Preston Day, Nancy L. Klein, and Lee Ann Turner
This volume is the second in the series of final reports on the work of the Kavousi Project and the first volume on the cleaning (1982-1984) and excavations (1987-1992) at the mountain sites located above the modern village of Kavousi in eastern Crete. These sites, Vronda and the Kastro, shed light on the Early Iron Age, the transitional period in Cretan history known popularly as the Dark Ages, thereby elucidating the way of life of the people ...

Ayios Stephanos: Excavations at a Bronze Age and Medieval Settlement in Southern Laconia
by W.D. Taylour and R. Janko
Lord William Taylour's excavations at Ayios Stephanos in 1959-77 investigated a port that relied on trade, fishing and metallurgy. It lay just north of the main Minoan east-west trade route via Kythera and exported the rare stone lapis lacedaemonius to Cretan workshops. As a Linear A inscription shows, the site illuminates the diffusion of Minoan culture to the mainland.
Ayios Stephanos yielded a stratified pottery sequence from EH I to ...

Knossos Pottery Handbook: Neolithic and Bronze Age (Minoan)
edited by Nicoletta Momigliano
This volume presents the most up-to-date synthesis of the Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery sequence of Knossos, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Mediterranean and European prehistory.
The Knossos pottery sequence has formed the backbone of Aegean prehistoric chronology for over a century, and this is the first publication since Sir Arthur Evans's Palace of Minos that provides - within one cover - a complete ...

Knossos: Protopalatial Deposits in Early Magazine A and the South-West Houses
by Colin F. MacDonald and Carl Knappett, with contributions by I. Schoep, J. Weingarten, V. Isaakidou, and T. Carter
The crucial earliest phases of palatial Knossos are not well known, in part due to over-building by Neopalatial structures and floors. This volume represents the first complete publication of substantial deposits dating to this period, specifically the Middle Minoan IB and IIA phases. This is a first not only for Knossos but for Crete as a whole, and will act as a crucial point of reference for future work on these key phases in the island's ...

The Chrysokamino Metallurgy Workshop and its Territory
by Philip P. Betancourt
This detailed report describes archaeological fieldwork conducted between 1995 and 1997 in rural northeast Crete. Excavations were made in two locations: a metallurgy workshop (abandoned in EM III) and a nearby rural habitation site, perhaps a farmhouse (used until LM III). An intensive survey of the vicinity revealed other activities in the area from the Early Neolithic onwards, and placed the sites in a micro-regional context. A publication of ...
