	Arthur Evans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evans' special interest was the Greek island of Crete, and he was largely responsible for the excavations of the palace-city of Knossos, chief center of the Minoan civilization, which uncovered the site that is open to visitors today.
		It should be remembered that while Evans was working at Knossos in the period between 1899 and 1935, many of his contemporaries were interested only in removing items of interest from the sites they uncovered.
		Evans was knighted in 1911 for his services to archaeology, and is commemorated both at Knossos and at the Ashmolean Museum.

	Sir Arthur Evans
		Evans was born in Nash Mills, England, and educated at the University of Oxford, where from 1884 to 1908 he was curator of the Ashmolean Museum.
		Evans’ reconstruction of the palace is mainly what is available to be viewed now on the island of Crete, although archaeologists have for some time now attempted to “undo” the blending of the two constructions, so that visitors can tell the difference.
		Evans states: “The clay archives found in the Palace of Knossos and elsewhere have proved that the prehistoric Cretan had already, a thousand years before the appearance of the first written record of Classical Greece, passed through every stage in the evolution of a highly developed style of script.” (Evans 41).
