Abstract

This paper argues that the move to 'austerity' in 6th century Crete was related to the creation of a more stable, and more closed social and political hierarchy than that which existed in the rest of Archaic Greece. The 'material entanglements' of Cretans ran in the opposite direction to the demands of 'aristocratic performance' elsewhere in Archaic Greece.
