Other Comments

Primary QuestionsWhat was the nature of the hinterland, if one existed, of the Minoan town? Was the island a source of raw materials for stone vase making? Were there differences in the type of land use in the Minoan and later periods? Was the island completely deserted after the Bronze Age?
