Excavations at Palaikastro. III: § 2.—Tàλληνικά and Early Minoan Discoveries

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

Although the slopes of the καστρί had been rifled by native diggers there were indications on the southern side, at a site called Τὰ ῾Ελληνικά that something still remained. The trial pits struck at once two small burial-enclosures, lying close together. The northern of the two proved to be a structure some six by seven metres, with the western wall lacking, divided into two unequal compartments.
