- Abstract
- (en) Palaikastro, in the far east of Crete, has only been significantly occupied twice in the 9.000 years that the island has been settled: in the modern era (since WW II); and during the Bronze Age (c. 3000–1100 BC). The area is isolated and remote, and more likely to attract people trying to escape civilisation than those who might wish to join or build one. How and why then did they come to build a 20–30ha town of planned and paved streets, multi-story buildings, with a sophisticated drainage system and c. 5.000 inhabitants - roughly three times it's current population? This thesis approaches this question by examining the archaeology pf Palaikastro from the Neolithic through to the end of the Bronze Age.
