He identifies distinct actions such as modelling, combining and imprinting whereby meaning is scaffolded through the materials themselves. By showing how these actions work, Knappett brings life to the fascinating art of Minoan Crete. He makes an argument for not just how creativity emerges through specific material engagements but also why creativity might be especially valued at particular moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biographical Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Professor Knappett obtained his PhD in Archaeology at Cambridge University, UK, in 1997 and his BA\/MA in Archaeology at St. John\u2019s College, Cambridge.
