    Subminoan Crete: the first post Minoan period: a gazetteer and survey of sites and finds in Crete ca. 1100-1000 B.C.
    Poynter, Marion L. ( 1987)
    This is a study of the Subminoan period. In the absence of detailed evidence, this phase, which covers approximately the eleventh century B.C., and initiates a so-called "Dark Age", has been considered obscure and of little importance. More recent evidence suggests otherwise, and provokes the need for a systematic presentation of available evidence of the period. The present work includes a comprehensive and up-to-date gazetteer of the sites where evidence for Subminoan occupation has been reported, and an account of finds therefrom. Through an examination of this material I attempt to assess the validity of son1e commonly held conceptions of the period. (From Introduction)
