This work focuses on three important British travellers to Crete
during the 18th and 19th centuries to establish whether or not they
made any significant contribution to the field of research with
regard to the archaeological heritage of Bronze Age Crete. It
brings these 'lost pioneers' of antiquity to the fore and to
recognize their efforts as part of the foundation of the discovery
of the island's Bronze Age archaeology prior to the groundbreaking
excavations of Sir Arthur Evans. They are Richard Pococke
(1704-65), Robert Pashley (1805-59) and Thomas Spratt (1811-88).
Having dealt with the terms that these travellers used in
describing ancient remains, the work looks briefly at the
background to Bronze Age Crete itself. Thereafter the development
from antiquarianism into archaeology is followed to establish the
motives behind these travellers' wanderings in Crete.
