Lasithi in Ancient Times
View through CrossRef
Recent excavations in the district of Lasithi in Crete have both raised and answered a number of historical problems which, while not suitable for inclusion in a strict excavation report, may yet properly be the subject of an essay in honour of one who did so much for the archaeology and topography of Crete in the early days.It must be remembered that the following pages are suggestions intended merely to stimulate further enquiry on a less restricted scale. In prehistoric archaeology certainty is impossible. A definite set of facts may be interpreted in two quite different ways, both equally possible. The only hope is to fit the greatest possible number of facts into the framework and to make sure that there is no vital fact which contradicts the whole.
