If you want to understand the biases that shape the mainstream interpretation of the Minoans as peaceful, if not matriarchal, see Lawrence Keeley's War Before Civilization and Cynthia Eller's The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory. Leftists are desperate to find some evidence of a socialist matriarchal utopia in human prehistory. One of these days, they may get a clue that "utopia" means "nowhere" for a reason.

Read one, will read the other. Robert Shaefer wrote an article on Matriarchy, as dreamed up by Marija Gumbas, damned if I can give a link to it, it was published in the Skeptical Inquirer.
