Minoan Architecture: A Contextual Analysis (Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology and Literature Pocket-Book, 155) - Softcover
This book analyzes the function of the Minoan "Palaces" in Late Bronze Age Crete, with some reference to the numerous "Villas" termed "palatial" using analyses that might be termed contextual. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the Minoan built environment as a non-verbal mode of communication including movement, experience, and visual access. With multiple entryways and passageways, and varying degrees of accessibility, different people experienced Minoan buildings in different ways. A contextual approach has enabled the author to interpret the significance of patterns and distinctions in the distribution of artifacts, arrangement of rooms, and layout of buildings, as well as the social context of those who have analyzed them in the past.
