Sir Arthur Evans and his assistant Duncan Mackenzie identified sixteen pottery groups from the Old Palace at Knossos. On these they built the first relative chronology of the Aegean Middle Bronze Age. Recent work on the material, using insights gained from other excavations, suggests that the Evans typology should be revised. A detailed new typology of the pottery is therefore presented, based on variations in technology, form and design. This book is reevaluation of raw material central to our understanding both of the history of the Old Palace Period in central Crete and of that region's wider relationship with the other Eastern states at this formative period.
