Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an archaeological investigation into an extensive cemetery from Crete's Bronze Age. The author details findings from a three-week excavation of 150 burial jars that yielded intriguing insights into Minoan burial practices, art, and culture. The site, Sphoungaras, had been partially explored earlier, yielding three Early Minoan rock shelter burials, but this larger excavation uncovered burials from both the Early Minoan and later periods, including Middle Minoan and Late Minoan. Analysis of burial methods, grave goods, such as gold and bronze jewelry, pottery, and stone objects, and the remains themselves, offers a comprehensive picture of funerary customs and the evolution of Minoan society during these periods. The book contributes to our understanding of the cultural and artistic achievements of Minoan civilization, providing valuable insights into the daily life, beliefs, and practices of this ancient people.
