What new insights have recent excavations provided on Minoan palatial structures?Recent excavations suggest that Minoan palatial structures, initially viewed as uniform, demonstrated varied levels of monumentalization reflecting sociopolitical dynamics. For instance, the findings at Phaistos and Malia indicate that large-scale construction often followed leveling operations as early as the MM IIA period.How has the methodology of archaeological research evolved in Minoan studies?The current approach integrates anthropological parallels and social theory, moving towards a bottom-up perspective. This methodological shift allows for a nuanced understanding of social structures and communal practices within Minoan society.What role did feasting and ritual activities play in the development of Minoan civilization?Feasting practices, suggested by deposits of pottery and butchery remains, have been traced back to the Final Neolithic and were crucial in social and ceremonial life. Evidence from Knossos and Phaistos points to organized communal events that contributed to the centralization of power.
