GALATAS - survey - 2005

Galatas Survey. L. Vance Watrous (ASCSA) reports the discovery of 44 sites. Late Neolithic/Early Minoan sites are small and close to water sources. Prepalatial Bronze Age sites seem rare. In the Neopalatial period, site numbers increase sharply and many of the sites are large (over 100m in length). A mason’s mark, matching one in the palace at Galatas, was found in a quarry. The settlement of Galatas was apparently encircled by large buildings to the south and east.
