Change and Transition on Crete: Interpreting the Evidence from the
Hellenistic through to the Early Byzantine Period is presented in
honour of G.W.M. Harrison, whose academic contributions have
enriched our perspective of Roman Crete and has inspired others to
take on the challenge of this subject area. The study of
Hellenistic and Roman Crete is, in many respects, still in its
infancy. Whilst there is still much that we do not know about life
on the island during these times, the past 40 years have seen a
marked advancement of research and investigation into these periods
at an ever-increasing pace, with the result that today we have a
far better understanding and clearer perspective of the era. The
theme of this volume, which was inspired by the 1st International
Conference of the Colloquium on Roman Crete in 2016, is change and
transition, a topic that challenges some of the earlier approaches
to Hellenistic and Roman Crete, and which presents a different
perspective on historical events and archaeological evidence. After
an opening discussion, the papers explore aspects of change and
transition in social and material archaeological contexts, with
contributions on social organisation, economy and trade, health and
diet, and the maritime landscape. In discussing change and
transition for the Hellenistic and Roman periods, this volume also
raises questions about existing interpretations of the
archaeological evidence and the current chronological framework.
