Overall, Apesokari adds to a growing corpus of re-studied tholos cemeteries in south-central Crete, highlighting variability in mortuary behaviour between the third and second millennia BC. By concretely linking the tholos with its contemporary settlement evidence for which has often eluded similar investigations of Minoan tholoi (e.g. Legarra Herrero 2011) the authors offer greater insights into the interplay between the social, economic and funerary arenas within Minoan society. Lastly, this monograph demonstrates the wealth of information that can be extracted from legacy collections with weakly provenanced material, while highlighting the urgent need to re-evaluate storerooms for similarly understudied assemblages. Together, Flouda and colleagues present a comprehensive site report that scholars of the Aegean Bronze Age will certainly value for its content, methodology and cohesive organisation.
