The `unexplored mansion', adjoining the Little Palace at Knossos was discovered by Arthur Evans but left undug. It was eventually excavated by Popham between 1967 and 1973. The mansion and its contents date from 1550 to 1200 BC-most of the finds belong to Late Minoan II, around 1425 BC, when the building was severely damaged by fire. They include over 200 decorated vases, a full range of storage and kitchen pots, bronze and stone vessels and tools, sealstones, religious figurines, and clay crucibles for bronze working. As the largest collection of objects of this period they contribute greatly to our understanding of this crucial stage in the island's history, when it had fallen under the domination of Mycenaean Greece.

Earth's life story is written in its rocks. They are time machines, which can transport us over billions of years through the metamorphoses by which our planet was forged. How to Read a Rock combines a guide to deciphering these sagas of our planet's past with case studies of the rocks and landscapes that best tell those tales. Using stones as storytellers, it narrates the prehistoric forces of shifting continents; considers how manufactured rocks are transforming Earth's geology; travels with space probes to distant moons and planets; and asks what our geological past can predict of our future. Exceptional photographs and infographics illustrate a text from one of the world's great geological storytellers, revealing layer by layer the secrets written in stone.
