Arthur Evans: Perbezaan antara semakan

Bersama [[Heinrich Schliemann]], Evans merupakan perintis mengenai kajian [[Tamadun Aegean]] dalam [[Zaman Gangsa]]. Kedua lelaki mengenali sesama sendiri dan Evans melawat tapak Schliemann. Schliemann telah bercadang untuk mencarigali di Knossos, tetapi meninggal sebelum memenuhi impiannya. Evans membeli tapak tersebut dan mengambil alih projek yang ketika itu masih di peringkat awal. Dia menyambung konsel Schliemann mengenai [[Tamadun Mycenaean]] tetapi kemudiannya mendapati bahawa dia perlu membezakannya dengan konsepnya sendiri - Minoan.

 

==Biografi==

===Latar belakang keluarga===

 

 

Unfortunately, Arthur's mother, Harriet, died in 1858 when Arthur was seven. He did have two brothers, Norman and [[Lewis Evans (collector)|Lewis]], and two sisters, and would remain on excellent terms with all of them all of his life. He was raised by a stepmother, Fanny, with whom he also got along very well. She had no children of her own and also predeceased her husband. John's third wife was a classical scholar, and when he was 70 they had a daughter, [[Joan Evans (art historian)|Joan]], who would become an art historian. By the time of John's death in 1908 at 85, when Arthur was 57, the major work on Knossos had already been done. He had primarily used other funding for his work, but Arthur had enjoyed the close support and assistance of his father, who contributed significantly.

 

===Education===

 

Between 1870 and 1874 Arthur matriculated at [[Brasenose College, Oxford|Brasenose College]], [[University of Oxford|Oxford]]. His [[housemaster]] at Harrow, F. Rendall, had eased the way to his acceptance with the recommendation that he was "a boy of powerful original mind." At Brasenose he read modern history, but his summertime activities with his brothers and friends were perhaps more definitive to his subsequent career. In 1871 he and Lewis visited [[Hallstatt]] and the [[Balkans]]; in 1872 he and Norman adventured in the [[Carpathians]], crossing borders illegally at high altitudes, pistols at the ready. In 1873 he and Balfour tramped over [[Sápmi (area)|Lapland]], [[Finland]], and [[Sweden]]. Everywhere he went he took copious anthropological notes and made numerous drawings of the people, places and artifacts.<ref>{{cite book|title=Before Knossos: Arthur Evans's Travels in the Balkans and Crete|first=Ann Cynthia|last=Brown|edition=Illustrated|publisher=Ashmolean Museum|year=1993|isbn=1854440292, 9781854440297|pages=11–19}}</ref> During the Christmas holidays of 1873, Evans cataloged a coin collection being bequeathed to Harrow by [[John Gardner Wilkinson]], the father of British [[Egyptology]], who was too ill to work on it himself.
