Description

Product Description Erected in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Crete’s coastal cities during the Thera eruption, Building 1, with its two-storeyed ashlar façades, must have been one of the finest at Palaikastro. Two conflagrations during the LM IB period largely obscured its original function and brought down much of the ashlar masonry. This was re-used in the substantial LM II and LM IIIA re-occupation phases, which ended with the widespread, perhaps natural, destruction that affected the entire town. The building’s last incarnation in LM IIIB contains the strongest evidence for ritual at its core with industrial and domestic activities in adjacent rooms in an otherwise largely abandoned coastal town Review "...this was not an easy area to excavate or to publish, and the excavators and contributors to this volume are to be congratulated for being able to make sense of a difficult situation. [...] On the whole, these chapters are more descriptive than analytical, but in places such as Evely's discussion of the crucibles used in metalworking (330-33), the contributors provide useful methodological models for how such materials can be studied."-- "American Journal Of Archaeology"
