Description
Petras. M. Tsipopoulou (ΚΔ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the excavation of 50 trial trenches along the path leading to the site. Discoveries were made on the north slope just below sector III of the settlement. Three large Protopalatial column bases were revealed, together with a shell-shaped rhyton and a pebble incised with a bucranium. Excavation of the level below the column bases revealed Middle Minoan IB pottery. Nearby, two Late Minoan IA rooms were excavated. One contained a large number of conical cups in a burnt layer with animal bone. The other, also in a burnt layer, contained a pithos, a stone cup, a bronze needle, and the remains of a wooden box covered in ivory plaques, together with an uninscribed clay nodulus.
