Heritage Key: UB archaeologists debunk myth of peaceful Minoan society

An article on the Heritage Key, a website dedicated to information about the ancient world, reports a team of archaeologists, led by Vance Watrous, professor of visual studies, and UB student Matt Buell, have discovered a fortification system at the Minoan town of Gournia, a finding that contradicts the popular belief that Minoans were a peaceful society with no need for defensive structures. England's The Independent also covered the findings.
