Inspired by Schliemann's discoveries at Mycenae and Troy, Sir
Arthur John Evans (1851-1941), keeper of Oxford's Ashmolean Museum
from 1884 to 1908, trustee of the British Museum and fellow of the
Royal Society, used his inherited wealth to purchase land in Crete
at Knossos. From 1900 he commenced excavations there in
co-operation with the British School at Athens. Work continued for
eight full seasons, uncovering a Bronze Age palace and bringing to
light further architectural and artefactual remains of Minoan
civilisation, including numerous texts in Linear A and Linear B.
Evans' speculative reconstruction of the site in reinforced
concrete remains controversial, and some of his interpretations are
disputed, but his pioneering work is painstakingly detailed in this
highly illustrated multi-volume work, published between 1921 and
1935, with an index volume appearing in 1936. Volume 1 (1921) opens
with a sketch of Minoan civilisation and then surveys its early
history.

disputed, but his work was pioneering and published in several
volumes between 1921 and 1935. The index to this monumental
achievement, published in 1936, was the result of a painstaking
collaboration with his half-sister, Dame Joan Evans (1893-1977).
