Developing from the proposed subject of study - that is, to contribute to an understanding ofurbanism through research into the urban centre of Knossos, through an exploration intopreviously under-explored excavation records and finds - I propose to focus on the WestCourt and Theatral Area (WC and TA). My passion for this proposed focus of researchsprings from: the desire to provide an overview of urban life across the whole period, fromthe Neolithic to Roman times; the potential to bring together over 100 years of excavationwork, much of which has been underexplored; and the opportunity which the area providesto discuss theoretical concepts of power through the choreography of urban space. TheWest Court and Theatral Area is excitingly unique in its research potential due to its positionbetween the 'Palace' of Knossos and the wider urban settlement. As the meeting point ofcauseways and roads, and sitting just outside the Minoan palace walls, an overview of thedifferent manipulations of the built environment of the West Court and Theatral Areaprovides an exciting and unique opportunity to understand town life in Knossos as navigatedoutside, but within the sphere of, the central elite.

从拟议的研究主题发展-也就是说，通过对克诺索斯城市中心的研究，通过对过去未充分发掘的挖掘记录和发现的探索，促进对城市生活的理解-我建议专注于WestCourt和剧院区（WC和TA）。我对这一研究重点的热情源于：希望提供从新石器时代到罗马时代整个时期城市生活的概述;将100多年的挖掘工作汇集在一起的潜力，其中大部分尚未充分发掘;以及该地区提供的机会，通过城市空间的编排来讨论权力的理论概念。西法院和剧院区是令人兴奋的独特的研究潜力，由于其位置之间的克诺索斯的“宫殿”和更广泛的城市定居点。作为堤道和道路的交汇点，坐落在米诺斯宫殿城墙外，概述了西院和剧院区建筑环境的不同操作，提供了一个令人兴奋和独特的机会来了解克诺索斯的城镇生活，因为它在中央精英的范围内。
