This article originated from a suggestion by Dr. Chadwick, that it would be useful to those studying the Linear B archives from Knossos to have a list of sites which archaeologists believe to have been occupied at the time of the destruction of the Palace in whose ruins the tablets were found.
An opportunity to follow up this suggestion came when the author was invited to contribute to a volume of studies in honour of Professor Doro Levi. Unfortunately the study was not finished in time, but it remains, as intended, a small offering to a senior Italian colleague.
1 This article is essentially the paper read to the 4th Cretological Conference held in Heraklion in 1977, the proceedings of which have not been published. A catalogue of sites has been appended with selective references intended to be sufficient to establish occupation in the period under discussion.
Abbreviations used, apart from those customary, are DPK M.R. Popham, The Destruction of the Palace at Knossos, Göteborg 1970.
