Prerequisites for a computational approach to Minoan chronology
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The paper examines the development, adoption, and limitations of the relative chronology system for Minoan pottery, initially established by Sir Arthur Evans and Duncan Mackenzie during the excavation of Knossos (1900–1906). Despite its weaknesses, this system remained largely unchanged due to its convenience rather than its accuracy.

In doing so, I illustrate my inquiry with the example of ROB‐IN assistive robot. ROB‐IN is a Spanish project which is devoted to developing a robot that will perform in the private home of nondependent, aged users.
