Sir Arthur Evans and Knossos: revisiting archaeological myths and realities
Oxford, Σάββατο 25 Φεβρουαρίου 2012
Overview
Arthur Evans’s excavations at Knossos brought to light the largest palace site known today in the Aegean. Through his interpretations and extensive restorations, Evans dominated the field of Minoan archaeology for almost half a century. This day-school revisits some of Evans’s most controversial work. Where do we stand today and how much has our knowledge changed from the time of Arthur Evans?
