A town of all tastes: the eight-millennia-long story of this premier settlement in the East Mediterranean has something for everybody. Through a series of vignettes, we will explore recent discoveries and research conducted at and through the holdings that the British School at Athens curates at Knossos. The smallest shard or an expensive cutting-edge technology can open up fresh vistas for thought: they may well solve old conundrums, but - and more often - they pose yet new questions.

These, the two largest islands in the East Mediterranean, are not so dissimilar in their size, range of habitats and natural resources. Indeed Cyprus, with its abundant copper ores, is the more blessed of the pair in this last category. In the Bronze Age, Crete produced the Minoans: complex, cultured and deserved contenders for global regard and admiration. Contemporary Cyprus is rather quaint and partial in contrast. One society jelled into a palatial life-style, the other....did not! Why is this so? Especially given that their later historical manifestations are far more comparable. We will compare the two...and look for clues.
