Résumé

This volume brings together a series of papers reflecting a number of lectures given at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in 2010-2012 in the frame of a seminar entitled La naissance des cités crétoises. Eight Cretan sites (Axos, Phaistos, Prinias, Karphi, Dreros, Azoria, Praisos, and Itanos), recently excavated or re-excavated, are considered in their regional and historical context in order to explore the origin and early development of the Greek city-state on the island.
Florence Gaignerot-Driessen's work focuses on the formation process of the polis on Crete and thedefinition of social groups in Aegean protohistory. She is involved in archaeological projects at Sissi,Dreros, and Anavlochos and currently teaches ancient history and archaeology at the University of Picardie(Amiens).
