One of the characteristic features of theperiod is the fact that the stirrup-vase, found at Hagia Triadaand Gournia in Late Minoan I. , but almost totally wanting in LateMinoan II. , now becomes common.
Towards the close of the period the site of the palace at Knossoswas partially reoccupied by a humbler race of men, who used therooms that had once witnessed the pride of the Minoan Sovereigns, dividing them up by flimsy partition-walls to suit their smallerneeds. An age of transition succeeded,... during which the characterof the Cretan population was gradually modified by successive wavesof invasion from the mainland, until Crete assumed the guise of'the mixed land, ' under which Homer knew it; and finally came thegreat invasion of the Dorians, which brought in for Crete, as forthe rest of Greece, the dark age which preceded the dawn of thetrue Hellenic culture.
CHAPTER X LIFE UNDER THE SEA-KINGS What manner of men were the people who developed the Bronze Agecivilization of Crete? Can we form any idea of their physicalcharacteristics, of their homes and social conditions, of the generalaspect of their daily life, and of the occupations in which theywere engaged?
