Archaeological data present a contradictory picture: on the one hand, they suggest a time of prosperity. with favourable conditions of subsistence and growth; on the other hand, there are signs of trouble illustrated by a series of abandonments of century-old occupied settlements. Did these processes take place simultaneously, in succession or were they punctual? Can we make sense of the various hale Minoan IIIB developments from a chronological perspective? How can a region-by region analysis inform us about the various island communities and their histories during the 13th century BC? The international workshop which the present volume reflects took place at the UCLouvainin Belgium on the 24th and 25th of October 2013. It specifically addressed these questions and focused on the gradual transformation of Cretan society throughout the 13th century BC by concentrating on a single aspect of its material culture: the pottery. It was our infention to bring together a number of ceramic experts in charge of the study of Late Minoan IIIB pottery deposits in a selection of Cretan sites. We wanted them to discuss, confront and contextualise their respective assemblages. The gathering was successful in many ways and not in the least because not only we managed to progress on a variety of thorny issues but it was also a real treat to assist in the thrilling exchanges between the inspiring personalities who compose the ?family? of Minoan (and Mycenaean) pottery specialists. 606 $aArchaeology 606 $apottery 606 $aarchaeology 606 $aexcavation 606 $aMinoan civilisation 615 4$aArchaeology 615 4$apottery 615 4$aarchaeology 615 4$aexcavation 615 4$aMinoan civilisation 700 $aBorgna$b Elisabetta$0455290 701 $aChatzi-Vallianou$b Despina$01454449 701 $aCucuzza$b Nicola$0747436 701 $aCunningham$b Tim$01454450 701 $aHallager$b Birgitta$01454451 701 $aHatzaki$b Eleni$0777882 701 $aK. Smith$b R. Angus$01454452 701 $aKanta$b Athanasia$0459608 701 $aKontopodi$b Danae Z$01454453 701 $aLangohr$b Charlotte$01309347 701 $aLucia D?Agata$b Anna$01454454 701 $aPanagiotaki$b Marina$01454455 701 $aPanagiotakis$b Nikos$01454456 701 $aPaschalidis$b Kostas$01454457 701 $aRutter$b Jeremy B$01454458 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495686903321 996 $aHow Long is a Century$93656905 997 $aUNINA
