Description

A town for all tastes: the 8-millennia-long story of this premier settlement in the East Mediterranean has something for everybody - in quantity and always in quality.

Through a series of vignettes, Dr Don Evely explores recent discoveries and research conducted at and through the holdings that the British School in Athens curates at Knossos. The smallest shard or expensive cutting-edge technologies can alike open up fresh vistas for thought: they may well solve old conundrums, but - and more often - they pose yet new questions. It keeps work at Knossos constantly on the move.

Dr Don Evely holds a most historic archaeological position. He is the Curator for Knossos at the British School at Athens, following in the footsteps of the eminent Sir Arthur Evans. Offering unrivalled opportunities for excavation and research Knossos, in Crete, is believed to have been the heart of Minoan civilization.

Presented by the Pancretan Association of Melbourne Australia
