Abstract
This paper analyzes two of the main components of religion on Crete and the Cyclades in the Early to early Late Bronze Age as a way to examine how religious and cultural traditions were shared through the islands. In particular, it discusses the ways in which female votive figurines can be used to analyze the transmission of stylistic traditions and the socio-religious implications of said imported, hybrid, and local figurines. It also examines the construction of sacred spaces, specifically burial sites, peak sanctuaries, palaces, and cave sanctuaries, to understand how religion was practiced and to see if these religious practices were adopted elsewhere.
