 at Knossos in Crete and its wider context, drawing on the results of an ongoing project, led by the author with Dr Valasia Isaakidou and involving a team of specialists, that is comprehensively restudying the excavations of John Evans at Knossos (1957–60;
 1969–70). For many decades Knossos and Crete was the poster-child of European neolithisation by demic diffusion, being regularly cited as a seemingly water-tight example of a migratory, marine transfer of farming, from the Asian heartland of early farming
 into an apparently pristine (and European) insular environment. However, more recently, with the belated (but predictable) discovery of pre-Neolithic occupation on the island, and with all that we now know about the Knossos community in its first millennium
 of existence, the efficacy of this model in a Cretan context needs to be reviewed, and either re-established or rejected.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
