[Annamarie · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a decent quick read to whet your appetite on Minoan archaeology and the history of early archaeology on Crete. It gives a brief history of the archaeological excavation of Knossos to introduce the reader to the world of Cretan archaeology as well as listing further resources to explore further.

Another interesting subject turned into a dull book by the editors of DISCOVERIES.
