Minoan Kato Zakro: A Pastoral Economy

This study reinterprets the evidence from the well-known site of Kato Zakro in eastern Crete in the light of Darwinian evolutionary theory. Judith Reid employs a bottom-up approach linking the material evidence to its environmental setting and examining strategies of adaptation. In conclusion the politics, religion and economics of Kato Zakro are all explained in terms of the region's pastoralism.
