Ano Plakos Site, Palaikastro - 2013

Ano Plakos Site, Palaikastro. Chryssa Sofianou (ΚΔ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports that test trenches were put down in the area of a large tourist facility. During previous surface study, various structures had been found, including walls 0.534m and 1.281m in length. They were made of unworked stones of various sizes, and preserved 0.5m from the ground.

Test trenches did not find ceramics or foundation walls, so the surface structures’ use and dating remain unclear. Trenches laid elsewhere found structures and pottery of the Late Minoan period.
