Building the Labyrinth
While some aspects of Arthur Evans' framework for the Minoan civilization have undergone modification, its main defining characteristics remain widely accepted. We should find the endurance of Evans' theoretical framework surprising rather than comforting, not least because of the slim empirical and epistemological basis for its formation. This study provides a detailed exploration of the genesis of concepts such as the Minoan palace (or palace-s…
An archaeothanatological approach to the study of Minoan funerary practices
Our understanding of Minoan funerary practices in the Early and Middle Bronze Age on Crete was until recently to a large degree informed by the excavations of cemeteries that took place early in the 20th century. However, the aforementioned excavations are characterized by a significant lack of detailed archaeological data regarding the precise positions of osteological remains and the actual treatment of the body. The excavation of the Early Min…

The Minoan ‘Palace-Temple’ Reconsidered
Although aspects of Arthur Evans’s vision of Minoan society have undergone modification during the course of the 20th century, his basic interpretation of the monumental building complex with courts at Knossos as a Palace-Temple, or the residence of both a political and religious authority, remains the dominant paradigm in Minoan archaeology. When set within the context of other contemporary Bronze Age societies in the eastern Mediterranean, howe…

Looking beyond the First Palaces
It is widely accepted that the First Palaces emerged around 2000 B.C., MM IB in ceramic terms, and that a palatial elite was the principal political, economic, and religious agent in Minoan society. The appearance of a series of innovations, such as palatial architecture, wheelmade pottery, administration, script, and high-quality prestige craft goods, has traditionally been attributed to the emergence of the First Palaces in MM IB. Palaces suppo…
Assessing the role of architecture in conspicuous consumption in the middle minoan I–II periods
This paper uses Middle Minoan architecture to explore the degree to which the conceptualization and reconstruction of the First Palaces on Crete have been unduly influenced by the model of the Minoan palace as the centralized political, economic and religious authority. It is generally assumed that this model, first formulated on the basis of the LM II–III palace at Knossos, also serves to explain the First Palaces despite the fact that relativel…
Social and Political Organisation on Crete in the Proto-palatial Period
The model of the Minoan palace as a centralised political, economic and ideological authority, and of Minoan society as a hierarchical power structure, has to a large extent guided discussion of social complexity in the Middle Bronze Age on Crete. This paper draws attention to alternative models of power in which more agent-centred perspectives, such as heterarchy and factionalism, are preferred. On the basis of a case-study of the proto-palatial…
Administrative Documents in the Aegean and Their Near Eastern Counterparts
Continuity and change in Minoan palatial power
The relationship between economic power and political centralization during the First and Second Palace Periods of Bronze Age Crete is a topical theme in Aegean studies. Here, two scholars argue the case for continuity in the economic base of palatial political authority
The Origins of Writing and Administration on Crete
During the Protopalatial period, two scripts were used in Minoan administration, Cretan Hieroglyphic and Linear A. Each script system has its own range of typical administrative documents, e.g. roundels for Linear A and medallions for Cretan Hieroglyphic. Some other sealed document types, and especially direct object sealings and noduli, are common to both systems. It is argued here that, prior to the development of script and as early as the Pre…
Tablets and Territories? Reconstructing Late Minoan IB Political Geography through Undeciphered Documents
In this article I explore the political geography of Neopalatial Crete through a multidisciplinary analysis of Late Minoan IB administrative documents. These documents testify to the existence of two levels in Minoan administration, a local level, represented by Linear A tablets, and a regional level, embodied by sealed documents. Both tablets and sealed documents reflect a considerable degree of regionalism, an observation that does not corrobor…
