Reviews
...it enriches our knowledge on the political and social structure of western Minoan Crete during the period before and after the decline of Knossos and the way the fall of the main political center and the Mycenaean peace that followed seem to have favoured the re-emergence of old centers. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
"""The sophistication of the tombs and the material culture discovered at the necropolis attests to the existence during that period of centers outside Knossos and underlines the level of complexity such settlements had achieved. More importantly, it enriches our knowledge on the political and social structure of western Minoan Crete during the period before and after the decline of Knossos and the way the fall of the main political center and the Mycenaean peace that followed seem to have favoured the re-emergence of old centers.""-- ""Bryn Mawr Classical Review"""
Author Information
Ph.D.; President of the Hellenic Archaeological Research Foundation; Coordinator of excavations and publications of the Armenoi Project Robert Arnott was formerly Professor of the History and Archaeology of Medicine, Director of the Centre for the History of Medicine and Public Orator of the University of Birmingham. After retirement, he moved to the University of Oxford, where he is now a Fellow of Green Templeton College. He has a recognised international profile as indicated by his publications, conferences and visiting professorships. He has excavated on Crete, at Troy and on the Greek Mainland and islands and is currently working on the finds from the excavation of the Late Minoan III Necropolis of Armenoi in Western Crete, where he heads the study of the human skeletal remains and is co-editor of the site's publication. He is an authority on disease and medicine in the Aegean and Anatolian Bronze Ages,2000-1100 BC, but in recent years, his interest has turned to India, where he frequently travels for his work in modern global health and some of his latest publications have concentrated on health, disease and medicine in the Harappan Civilisation, 2600-1900 BC and on its distant and tenuous relationship with Greece and the Aegean from prehistory to the time of Alexander the Great. Ph.D.; Director-General Emeritus, Greek Archaeological Service/Ministry of Culture; Director of Excavations of the Armenoi Project
