| Abstract: | Summary This preliminary study of a large number of Knossian/Minoan faience objects in the Heraklion (HM) and the Ashmolean (AM) Museums presents observations about the technological development of Knossian faience throughout the life of the Palace. In earlier deposits, such as the Vat Room, simple inlays, beads, and a figure appear; faience became more complex in the succeeding period (Loomweight Basements) and reached its culmination in the Temple Repositories period, where complex inlays and vases and large-scale figures appear. |
