Minoan Crete by L Vance Watrous
Along with Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant, Minoan Crete was one of the primary cultures of the prehistoric Mediterranean world. In this book, L. Vance Watrous offers an up-to-date overview of this important ancient society. Using archaeological evidence from palaces, houses, surveys, caves, and mountain shrines, he describes and traces the development of Minoan Crete from the Neolithic era through the Late Bronze Age. Watrous also presents and interprets Minoan art works in a range of media, including fresco paintings, pottery, and seals, and explains how Minoan Crete affected the culture of classical Greece. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, this book can be used in courses on the ancient Mediterranean world and classical archaeology.
L. Vance Watrous is the Director of Excavations at the Minoan town of Gournia. He has worked on Crete for over forty-five years, on archaeological projects – surface surveys (Lasithi, Mesara, Galatas, Gournia) and excavations (Knossos, Kommos, Chania, Gournia).
