How Bronze Age Cretan Burials Represent Minoan Women: An Honours Thesis
In 2024 The Council for British Archaeology and CIfA's Early Careers Special Interest Group ran an online conference for early career archaeologists and heritage specialists to share their interests and research. The conference was delivered during Youth Day sponsored by the Royal Archaeological Institute as part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology.
Speaker: Cameron Barnard
Blurb: Scholars have been arguing for decades over whether the Minoan society was matriarchal, as certain characteristics in their iconography may indicate that women held important familial, religious, and social roles, unlike most ancient Mediterranean societies. Furthermore, most of Minoan society was analysed through their iconography, which seemed to support the presence of a matriarchy. Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the efforts of archaeological excavations in which burials goods, as well as skeletal remains, are considered to add to the narrative.
An important factor in analysing Minoan society is the influence of its credited “discoverer,” Sir Arthur Evans. His interpretations of the Minoans were largely accepted by contemporary scholars and still permeate modern scholarship today. It’s been argued that the concept of a Minoan matriarchy has not been critically examined since it was pioneered by Evans. Additionally, in the last two decades, there is a growing interest in trying to define the social structure of Minoan society using non-iconographic archaeological evidence. Some archaeologists have turned to funerary contexts to examine how artefact assemblages - especially those relating to occupational tasks - could be associated with skeletal remains. Through this and the estimation of a skeleton’s sex there is a way to link certain material cultures with certain genders. Therefore, it is all the more pertinent to examine the physical evidence available to us to add to our knowledge and understanding of the gender roles within Minoan society and culture, regardless of which conclusion it supports.
My thesis will be focusing on adding to this narrative by looking at Minoan burials - and more specifically, the bones and burial goods therein - to determine if there is an observable correlation between gendered items and the sex of the skeleton. This presentation will be an outline of my honours thesis, which is split into three chapters. Chapter one - and the main focus of my presentation - is an exploration of the scholarship on Minoan women and the archaeology of gender in the Bronze Age Aegean. I will also briefly cover the Minoan cemetery I will be analysing (in chapter two), and how I plan to use the data from that site in my third chapter.

    If Boudica was last known to be in Verulamium why have you got her coming up Watling Street? And why the Tacitus-like exaggeration of likely numbers?! No proof of a a likely battlefield distribution of the shot. Prae Wood likely not to have been woodland at that time, and no real defile anywhere.

    Did Septimus Severus know about the disappearance of the LEG. IX HISPANA, possibly while setting up temporary camps in north east Scotland? There would have been expeditions launched to reconnoitre this wild, craggy and windswept region. Temporary forts appear to have been set up in Cawdar, Tain and Portmahomack. These would have been dangerous and inhospitable landscapes, difficult to reconnoitre - but easy to move around in for local Picts . There seems to have been an edict issued around 120 - 160, a "Condanatio Mori", which threw a veil over the fate of the IX Legion Hispana.
