Abstract:
Archaelogsits use to consider traditionaly thet the minoan palaces were destroyed by sismic or volcanic action. our researches'raw material is a study of the cretish sismicity, which shows to be principaly local, moderate and recurrent. Cretish earthquakes are frequent but low. minoan sites are excluded from their specific locations. on the other hand, there is two different types of destruction traces described by the archaeologists, wich are successive and chronologicaly separated. first traces, from the MMII-III, are buildings'internal modifications, such as closed doors, or walls creations sharing rooms in two spaces. Seconds are combustion traces from the MRLB. Burning traces composition and their stratigraphical position in the buidings'spaces shows that, in all cases, they are human intentional actions results, materialised by fires or by substances deposits. The minoan constructions architectural study shows some specific technics use, giving a sismo-resistant behaviour to the buildings, according to modern antisismic standards. Finally, the Cretish occupations' evolution from the neolithic to the geometric periods squares with every minoan sites one. the minoan palaces' erection during mm times, their internal modifications at MMII-III and their end of use at MRIB, are inscribed in the minoan society historical evolution process, which lead to a population concentration around the knossos area and to the political power centralization in this palace, after the three others palaces abandonment.
