Excavations at Palaikastro. IV: § 4.—Temple Site (Block χ)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2013
Extract
This block of buildings, covering some 1300 sq. m. (see Key plan, Pl IX.), has now been fully excavated, and although no more Greek inscriptions or anything in the nature of a Minoan shrine were found, a layer, in some places as much as a metre thick, of archaic terracotta architectural fragments and bronze objects and the lower courses of what was probably a temenos-wall of the temple were uncovered, whilst the Minoan strata were deeper than anywhere else on the site, except parts of Block π, and ranged from Early Minoan to the end of Late Minoan.
