Report

E. Platon (ASA) reports on this year’s study season of the finds from N. Platon’s excavations at the M Palace and town of Kato Zakros. In all cases the focus was on pottery. In the palace (S wing, excavated in 1966), the material from the workshops was studied: it included LM IB Marine and Floral style pieces, and part of a clay double-axe mould. From building N (NW hill, excavated in 1986), 3 connecting basement rooms in the S part yielded more LM IB and LM IIIA material, the latter of good quality. Protopalatial material was also encountered. Work on frescoes from the Zakros palace and the villa at Epano Zakros was carried out.
