Description
Phaistos. M. Benzi (SAIA/Pisa) reports on the 2nd season of survey around the city and in the territory of Phaistos, conducted as a collaboration between the Universities of Pisa and Salerno and the ΚΓ' ΕΠΚΑ.
Mapping and georeferencing work was completed. Geo sherds were located on the summit and slopes of Marathovigla. Intensive survey was conducted in an area immediately NW of the cemetery of Ag. Pavlos and the village of Ag. Ioannis. Preliminary study of the results allows the recognition of a settlement quarter densely settled in the M period and again in Hel times. A significant discovery is a Cretan LGeo aryballos (end 8th−E7thCt BC) preserved almost intact. For the study of the Cl and Hel city, great interest attaches to the discovery of 7 walls which define the contours in the area investigated. Their dimensions and lengths mean that none can be ascribed to buildings; one example represents the remains of the S city wall.
