<p>The development of Minoan society has traditionally been considered by scholars to have been an insular phenomenon unique to the southern Aegean. Such assumptions, however, fail to acknowledge the wider context of the Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean. Contact between the people of Crete and their contemporaries in Egypt and the Levant is well attested in the archaeological record, with a plethora of artefacts – imported and imitation – appearing on both sides of the Libyan Sea. Whilst investigations into the economic nature of these exchanges have been undertaken, little thought has been given to the cultural consequences of inter-regional contacts. This thesis examines the evolution of palatial society upon Crete and considers the extent to which interactions with comparatively more mature civilisations may have influenced the increasingly hierarchal trajectory of Minoan society, by re-evaluating the corpus of material culture and interconnectivity.</p>

The Tea Party, the Arab Spring and the _Occupy movements may seem to have little in common. They respond to very different circumstances, and they are fuelled by very different ideologies. Furthermore, they do not represent homogeneous movements and each of them amalgamates very different groups with very different interests. Stripped of their most obvious traits, however, they share a common dissatisfaction with the nature of power in the present world, and each has opened a debate on the nature and legitimacy of current power structures.

This volume contains final versions of the majority of papers given at the 14th Sheffield Round Table in Aegean Archaeology, 29-31 January 2010, so it has taken a long time to arrive, but it can be said straight away that specialists in Minoan archaeology should find it worth the wait. The Round Table was held to honour Keith Branigan, founder of the Sheffield Centre for Aegean Archaeology, and its topics were evidently chosen to reflect the areas in which he has made particularly significant contributions. Thus, the papers published here are concerned principally with different aspects of the rich field of funerary activity, especially in the Prepalatial period, but also with patterns of settlement and land exploitation, and with the processes of development that brought the Minoan civilisation into being. The contribution by Relaki, the co-editor (Ch. 2), stands out in focusing on another field in which Branigan was active at an early stage, that of developments in technology, their spread within Crete, and their links with the outside world, notably the Cyclades and Egypt.
