Abstract

These issues notwithstanding, this is a thorough and well-presented volume that demonstrates how a limited excavation—albeit of a very important site— can yield significant results. It makes an important contribution towards understanding the Neolithic settlement of Knossos specifically and the origins of the Neolithic in Greece and the Aegean islands more generally. Its strong palaeoenvironmental emphasis is a particularly useful addition to the limited—though increasing—corpus of such data from Crete and the wider region.
