Emily Anderson turns light on the moment just before the palaces, recognizing it as a remarkably vibrant phase of socio-cultural innovation. Exploring the role of craftspersons, travelers and powerful objects, she argues that social change resulted from creative work that forged connections at new scales and in novel ways. This study focuses on an extraordinary corpus of sealstones which have been excavated across Crete. Fashioned of imported ivory and engraved with images of dashing lions, these distinctive objects linked the identities of their distant owners. Anderson argues that it was the repeated but pioneering actions of such diverse figures, people and objects alike, that dramatically changed the shape of social life in the Aegean at the turn of the second millennium BCE. 606 $aBronze age$zGreece$zCrete 606 $aMinoans$zGreece$zCrete 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zGreece$zCrete 606 $aMaterial culture$zGreece$zCrete$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSeals (Numismatics)$zGreece$zCrete$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aArtisans$zGreece$zCrete$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCommunity life$zGreece$zCrete$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial change$zGreece$zCrete$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial archaeology$zGreece$zCrete 607 $aCrete (Greece)$xAntiquities 615 0$aBronze age 615 0$aMinoans 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aSeals (Numismatics)$xHistory 615 0$aArtisans$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial archaeology 676 $a939/.1801 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aAnderson$b Emily S.
