KASTELLI - 2005

Kastelli. K. Galanaki (ΚΓ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of Late Minoan architectural remains, including substantial walls with indented façades on the Kardoulaki property in the centre of the modern town. Work to replace a shelter over the Minoan central building (see Rethemiotakis in ADelt 47-48 [1992-1993] Mel 29-64) uncovered a seal depicting a galloping dog against a floral background; a continuation of the Late Minoan II wall κδ; and a paved area south of the processional road. An Archaic pit and Byzantine-Medieval architectural remains were also found. To the south of the Minoan central building on Agios Georgios Square and Metamorphose Street, work for a sewage installation revealed Minoan and Roman architectural remains. The Minoan pottery was consistently dated to Middle Minoan III.
