Onassis Foundation, and the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Crete/Greece. We are deeply indebted to all of the above institutions for this. We should also like to thank Aegean Airlines, the Institute of Mediterranean Studies, and Birkbeck College for financial, administrative and overall support. Particular thanks are also due to the 25th and 23rd Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, not least to Dr M. Vlazaki and to Ms Eftuchia Protopapadaki (25th Ephoreia) and to Dr A. Vassilakis (23rd Ephoreia), who substantially enriched the activities and contributed to the conference debates; finally, to the Municipality and to the Prefecture of Rethymno/Crete and, not least, to the postdoctoral and doctoral students at the Department of History and Archaeology/University of Crete, who generously contributed to the success of the conference in various ways. Additional support for this publication comes from the Israel Science Foundation. Notes [1] CitationBraudel, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II.
