Focusing on the numerous sealstones which have been excavated across Crete, current discussions of material culture, community and space in the second millennium BCE are merged in an interdisciplinary approach. Reframing the origins of 'palace' society in the Aegean, this book will be of value to researchers and graduate students.

Early Minoan Crete is re-envisioned as a space of social innovation, in which change occurred through people and objects.
