Description
Pitsidia. D. Hatzi-Vallianou reports on a subsidiary season of excavation in 2000 at a Minoan rural villa, ahead of the creation of a cover for the site. Tests to the east and west showed walls, Middle Minoan sherds and the occasional stone tool or vase fragment. It seems that a First Palace period settlement existed in the area, and that it was levelled and filled for the construction of the new villa (Figs 1-4). The ceramics display typical Phaistian features (Figs 5-6). The recovery of good quality Classical and Early Hellenistic pottery to the southeast argues for a community of this date in that region. Surface survey in 1999-2000 has expanded the results obtained from earlier work in 1978: it has shown the region to have been continuously settled from Neolithic times to the present day.
