Acknowledgements

I thank Valasia Isaakidou and Peter Tomkins for inviting me to contribute to this Round Table. Study of the Knossos human remains would have been impossible without Valasia’s assistance in locating material in store and Peter’s help with contextual and chronological information. I also thank Valasia for sorting out disarticulated human fragments from the Knossos faunal assemblage, and Vasso Tzevelekidi for the same service in the case of Toumba Kremastis-Koiladas. I am grateful to the excavators who entrusted me with the study of material: J. D. Evans for Knossos, Manthos Besios and Maria Pappa for Makriyialos, Paul Halstead and Kostas Kotsakis for Paliambela-Kolindrou, and Areti Hondrogianni-Metoki for Toumba Kremastis-Koiladas. I am also indebted to Vangelio Kiriatzi, Nancy Krahtopoulou and Valasia Isaakidou, for providing me with articles and bibliographical references during my ‘exile’ in Nafplio; and to Kostas Kotsakis for fruitful discussions on the distinction between tell and flat sites and for access to unpublished work. Paul Halstead helped me structure my ideas, particularly with regard to the possibilities that primary inhumations represent an abnormal form of burial and that cremations in Thessaly were a form of secondary treatment of body parts. Last but not least, study of the human osteological remains from Knossos, Toumba Kremastis-Koiladas and Paliambela-Kolindrou was funded by the Institute of Aegean Prehistory.
