Description
Minoan Roads Survey: Zakro region. S. Chrysoulaki (ΚΔ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on further research in 2000, focused in three areas. Surface survey was conducted around the broader area of Zakros. In the upland flat-zone of Kastri, Sitanos was a Late Neolithic to Early Minoan I settlement: later in Minoan times, small quantities of burnt pottery and clay bull figurines indicate a small peak sanctuary. There are many sites in the region of Pyrkaia: in the Mavro Avlaki gorge, a megalithic wall guards the entrance and others form a fort structure. At Kato Zakro, there is a series of megalithic structures at the South Cove - buildings A, B and Γ, with Δ a little to the west. The oldest part of these is the south side of building Β (the north being open to the air), with building Γ the most ‘house-like’ and Δ no more than a large walled space. As a complex, they may have served a function related to the harbour.
