by J. A. Macgillivray


From the publisher

The main aims of the research which led to the publication of this book were to place the ceramics from the first major palace period at Knossos, in a 'relative and continuous sequence, based on their immediate archaeological context'. MacGillivray reassesses much of the material assigned by Evans and Mackenzie. Extensive appendices detailing the ceramic types and provenance, with many black and white plates.

Description:
British School at Athens, London, 1998.195,156p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). 'This book is an exercise in the 'archaeology of archaeology': a reconsideration and re-publication of material from the site of Knossos, excavated between 1901 and 1930 by Arthur Evans and his associates. It should be said at the outset that this is a book by an expert, aimed at other experts, and as such will be of limited interest to the general reader. It is, however, an important work of reference that will be of fundamental importance in discussing the pottery groups of the Old Palace Period (= Middle Minoan IB-IIIA) at Knossos and their associated architectural contexts. The author's patient examination and reconstitution of dispersed groups in the Knossos Stratigraphical Museum is a tribute to his scholarly acumen. (...) Despite some of its limitations, this is certainly an important book that those working with Minoan ceramics and research libraries will want to have. It will be of… Read More

Description:
Great Britain: The British School at Athens, 1998. 195pgs.156 black and white plates. Pictorial covers. Ding on the spine and minor tear on the bottom corner of the spine. Internally fine, unmarked. Sir Arthur Evans and his assistant Duncan Mackenzie identified sixteen pottery groups from the Old Palace at Knossos. On these they built the first relative chronology of the Aegean Middle Bronze Age. Recent work on the material, using insights gained from other excavations, suggests that the Evans typology should be revised. A detailed new typology of the pottery is therefore presented, based on variations in technology, form and design. This book is reevaluation of raw material central to our understanding both of the history of the Old Palace Period in central Crete and of that region's wider relationship with the other Eastern states at this formative period.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dj as Issued. 8.3 x 1.1 x 12.1 inches .
