Artful Definitions of the Minoan Society

Abstract: (6 pp). When we try to investigate Minoan society we encounter a number of problems regarding the evidence. Because the climate is frequently wet, most of the perishable evidence has disappeared with the weather. This makes it hard to construct a picture of Minoan society. We have some knowledge about Minoan people, of course, but this is very fragmentary: only little aspects of the Minoan social life are ever revealed at one time, mainly because the written materials are so few, and because scholars can read only a very little of this written evidence. Yet, it appears from their archeological art, that the Minoans as a society were much more advanced than others of their time. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
