CHALASMENOS - 2005

Chalasmenos. M. Tsipopoulou (ΚΔ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on further excavation of the large building first uncovered in 2004 and dated to the site’s main LM IIIIC phase. The building consisted of large rooms with antechambers to the front and other areas to the back. The large rooms contained central hearths (one of which was built and the other of clay), and benches. Finds include whole vessels in situ, fragments of figurines, a small gold disc, stone tools, a stone bead and a small pierced stone disc. Animal bone and carbon were present, as were earlier Minoan sherds.
