The aim of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between ritual activity and the construction of memory and identity in the Central Court at Knossos to better understand how social and symbolic meaning are constructed through an individual’s multisensory experience of place. Drawing on phenomenological approaches, I consider the multisensorial materiality of communal activities to specifically examine the ways in which the built environment and lived experience shape one another through the mutually constitutive nature of embodied encounters and physical space. I argue that analyzing this relationship between different multisensory experiences through the materiality of objects allows us to consider various facets of individual perception that shape interpretations of collective identity and memory in the past. This association between perception and memory formation has broader implications for understanding the recursive relationship between the built environment and sensory experience in the Bronze Age Aegean and this relationship’s impact on urban landscapes and identity construction.
