Review of Aegean prehistory VII: neopalatial, final palatial, and postpalatial Crete

Article Abstract:

A survey of the literature on the archaeology of Late Bronze Age Crete reveals that excavation and new discoveries are outpacing publications. Publications should be devoted to materials and sites as well as domestic and nonelite architecture. Excavated artifacts such as jewelry should be examined in terms of context, technique, typology and representation. Furthermore, efforts to preserve Crete's archaeological heritage should be enhanced.
