Kommos, located on the south coast of Crete, is widely known for
its important sanctuary of the Greek period for its earlier role as
a major Minoan harbortown. Volumes II and III in this series,
dealing with the Minoan pottery, have already been published.
Volume I, Part I (1995), offered a general introduction to the
site, followed by chapters on the archaeological exploration of the
area, its geology, fauna and flora, land use, as well as on the
Minoan implements and indsutries. Now Volume I, Part II introduces
the Kommos town (Joseph W. Shaw), and analyzes and interprets the
houses on the hilltop (Maria C. Shaw and Lucia F. Nixon) and
hillside (James C. Wright and John McEnroe). There is a catalog of
miscellaneous finds from the houses (Mary K. Dabney, Katherine A.
Schwab, Maria C. Shaw, John Bennet, Helene Whittaker, David Reese,
and Olga Kryszowska), followed by synthetic chapters on town
planning and domesetic architecture (Maria C. Shaw) and site
development (Joseph W. Shaw). Combined, the interrelated Kommos
volumes present an unusually thorough, interdisciplinary
interpretation of a prehistoric site in Greece. An excavation by
the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum under the
auspices of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.
