Focusing on Prehistoric Crete during the Minoan civilization, this book presents a comprehensive chronological analysis that integrates recent archaeological findings. Driessen offers a new perspective on Minoan society, contesting the conventional view that palaces dominated all aspects of life. The text is richly illustrated and delves into significant sites and themes from this pivotal Bronze Age era in the Aegean, providing a fresh understanding of the complexities of Minoan culture.

This collection of papers explores whether a meaningful distinction can be made in the archaeological record between migrations in general and conflict-induced migration in particular and whether the concept of conflict-induced migration is at all relevant to understand the major societal collapse of Bronze Age societies in the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 13th c. BCE. Helped by modern perspectives on actual and recent cases of conflict-induced migration and by textual evidence on ancient events, the different areas of the Mediterranean affected by the Late Bronze Age events are explored.
