Arthur Evans's Travels in Crete 1894-1899

This important archive of a five year window in Arthur Evans's diaries of his work in Crete celebrates the 1000th publication in the Archaeopress BAR series. Meticulously researched and transcribed by Ann Brown, research assistant at the Ashmolean Museum, Evans's notebooks include observations, drawings, descriptions and ideas. The introduction provides the background to the `arrogant, single-minded,..[yet] extremely hardworking, quick-minded' man and his fascination with the archaeology of Crete. Also includes a gazetter of sites and short biographies of people mentioned in the text and as well as a catalogue of objects referred to.
