KATEVATI - 2008

Katevati (Mylopotamos). E. Papadopoulou and L. Flevari (ΚΕ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on excavation at a newly identified Minoan site on a hill beside the coast. On the summit, a complex built of schist and spread over two natural terraces included two large rooms, one with a schist floor and the other with an earth floor. The small quantity of pottery on the floors indicated the building had been abandoned before its destruction. Sherds from the room with the schist floor mainly consisted of conical cups with some utilitarian vessels such as jugs. Sherds from the room with the earth floors were fewer, consisting of jars, kalathoi and tripod vessels, with a very limited number of conical cups. Outside the rooms, to the south, were high concentrations of pottery including cooking pots and conical cups. The pottery dates to the Protopalatial and beginning of the Neopalatial period.
