This volume traces the changing patterns of settlement and cycles of social complexity from the Late Neolithic period to the present day within the heartland of the state of Phaistos in southern Crete. The archaeological, geological, botanical, environmental, ethnographic and historical studies of this project establish the regional identity of the Western Mesara and define changing man-land relationships through time. Using a combination of empirical, processual and post-processual theoretical approaches, the volume investigates a central problem : how and why did the Bronze Age and Classical states arise at Phaistos ?

The volume presents the results on an interdisciplinary regional field project (1984 - 1987) carried out in the vast Mesara Plain on the island of Crete. This volume traces the changing patterns of settlement and cycles of social complexity from the Late Neolithic period to the present day within the heartland of the state of Phaistos in southern Crete. The archaeological, geological, botanical, environmental, ethnographic and historical studies of this project establish the regional identity of the Western Mesara and define changing man-land relationships through time. Using a combination of empirical, processual and post-processual theoretical approaches, the volume investigates a central problem : how and why did the Bronze Age and Classical states arise at Phaistos ?
