Sir Arthur John Evans (1851-1941) was born in Nash Mills, England, and educated at Harrow School, Brasenose College, the University of Oxford, and the University of Göttingen. From 1884 to 1908 he was curator of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. His interest in early writing led him to Crete in 1894, where he studied inscriptions on ancient sealstones. A year later he published the results in Cretan Pictographs and Prae-Phoenician Script. During the period 1900-1906 he unearthed in Crete the palace at Knossos (Knosós), a huge edifice that covers more than 2 hectares (5 acres), and he continued excavations there until 1935. The labyrinthine ground plan of the palace suggested to him the legend of Minos, hence his designation of the Cretan civilization as Minoan.
