Until recently the island of Crete, which appears to have been the chief centre of the Mycenaean civilization, was politically in too unsettled a condition for very extended archaeological work. This, however, did not prevent Dr. 16 Evans from studying it, and largely through his great knowledge of the small objects, especially the gems, which illustrate the early art of the Aegean, and which have been found in many places, he was led to form conclusions in regard to the probable results of exc...avation in Crete, which, now that they have been abundantly confirmed, are seen to constitute an extraordinary example of archae- ological penetration. Dr. Evans' excavations at Cnosus, near Candia, are the most extensive that have thus far been prosecuted in Crete, but those of the Italians are extremely important also, and they have yielded some of the most interesting specimens of Mycenaean objects. The excavations at Cnosus, however, have revealed a very long chronological sequence, which appears to begin as early as the earlier Egyptian dynasties, toward the begin- ning, that is, of the fourth millennium B.
