Excavations at Palaikastro. IV: § 3.—An Early Minoan Ossuary

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

Further trial-pits were made this year at the foot of the northern slopes of the Kastri at the site called τὰ ῾Ελληνικά where the two ossuaries described in B.S.A. x. pp. 197 and 202, were found, resulting in the finding of another of the same type, which, with this year's discovery on the top of the knoll of Sarandári makes a total of seven, plans of five of which are given in Fig. 4. Of these, numbered chronologically, I. is described in B.S.A. viii. p. 290, but was too much destroyed for a plan to be possible; II. (Fig. 4, No 1) in B.S.A. x. p. 197; III. (Fig. 4, No. 3) is the one in question; IV. (Fig. 4, No. 4) is the ossuary discovered this year on the top of the rocky knoll of Sarandári, surrounded by Late Minoan III.
