Summary. Knossos Tekke tomb 2 is one of the richest tombs in the Iron Age Aegean, renowned for its deposits of gold. The tomb is widely attributed to a family of goldsmiths, who migrated to Knossos from the Near East. This article, however, questions this attribution. An alternative interpretation is pursued through surveys of the distribution of some luxury materials, amply represented in the Tekke tomb, in all known Knossian tombs. By setting the Tekke find against the large corpus of Knossian burial material, I identify the Tekke occupants as members of a local élite. This group is shown to have had privileged access to the products of a goldsmith's workshop, as well as to the sources of some lavish, mostly imported, raw materials, and to have regulated their distribution within Knossian society during the eighth century. The means through which the Tekke élite claimed and defended their wealth and status are assessed and their possible Late Bronze Age pedigree is conjectured.

“…It must have been damaged in the 1880s when the modern road to Knossos was constructed (Hood and Smyth 1981, 42 no. 110; Paton 1994, 152; Paton and Schneider 1999, 282), but part of the cavea is shown on maps of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (Hogarth 1899–1900: general map; Panagiotaki 2004, 526–7, fig. 48.7).…”

Minos Kalokairinos is renowned for his discovery of the Minoan palace of Knossos. However, his pioneering investigations of the topography and monuments of Greek and Roman Knossos, as laid out especially in his Cretan Archaeological Journal, have largely been overlooked. In the Journal, Kalokairinos offers invaluable information on the changing archaeological landscape of Knossos in the second half of the nineteenth century. This enables the identification of several unknown or lost monuments, including major structures, inscriptions and sculptures, and allows the location of the context of discovery to be assigned to specific parts of the ancient city. Additionally, the Journal offers glimpses into the collection of Knossian antiquities and their export beyond the island. Antiquities from the site ended up in Athens, and as far afield as Egypt and western Europe, and have hitherto been considered as unprovenanced. They are here identified as Knossian and are traced to their specific context of discovery, with considerable implications for our understanding of the topography, the monuments and the epigraphic record of the ancient city.

“…4 At the same time that Evans began excavating the palace, David Hogarth, representing the British School at Athens, explored the rest of the valley, opening some 300 test pits, searching for the prehistoric cemeteries of the site. 5 In this, he was almost entirely unsuccessful, though his widespread tests started to provide a framework for understanding the prehistoric urban context of the palace, as well as recovering evidence for the subsequent periods of occupation.…”

Knossos is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Europe, known primarily for the Minoan palace brought to light by Sir Arthur Evans. However, the area has been occupied for much longer, from the Neolithic to the present day. In this article the authors describe the Knossos Urban Landscape Project, which since 2005 has been investigating the whole valley and the entire occupational sequence, involving both new survey and assessment of earlier work. Preliminary analysis has led to significant revision
