Ritual is a fascinating subject, with a tendency to set the
imagination racing and raise expectations for exciting treatment.
Minoan archaeology and more particularly the so-called "peak
sanctuaries" have been the object of much such interest and
speculation, but also of considerable creative research. In this
book, Evangelos Kyriakidis rigorously assesses old and new ideas
about these sanctuaries, testing and enriching such ideas by
connecting them with the extant material and underpinning them with
a solid theoretical basis. General theoretical issues such as the
attribution of ritual value to a prehistoric activity, the
assessment of degrees of ritual establishment and the creation of
ritual institutions are developed with the peak sanctuary material
in mind. The results are then compared and contrasted to other
studies on the social and political dynamics of Minoan Crete,
providing a new insight into ritual in the area as a whole.
