Reviews

. . . throws new light on the interactions and complex dynamics that characterised several regions of Crete (south coast, Mirabello, east Crete) over a large timespan (EM I-LM IB) through the combination of various analytical methods, such as the investigation of excavation data, petrography, typo-stylistic analysis, and landscape archaeology. Finally, it proves the enormous potential of employing large-scale petrographic analysis, still too often considered as an auxiliary-method; and demonstrates how this approach has provided a great deal of new knowledge from an entirely destroyed small rural site.
