The Earliest Harbour Installations on Aegean Foreshores
This article aims to raise awareness of a few newly discovered prehistoric harbour facilities in Crete. In particular is an unusual, if not unique, slipway suggesting how large ships were hauled up on to the land at Middle Minoan II Kommos. Also, there are huge, successive structures (Buildings T and P) with long galleries that served as shipsheds inviting close scrutiny, as well as comparison with the later Classical shipsheds sheltering elite w…
Access to Upper Floors and an Early Light Well at Em Ii Vasiliki
Discussing Early Minoan (EM) architecture in Crete, it is difficult for one to bypass the site of Vasiliki, located on the Isthmus of Ierapetra. Vasiliki was occupied during a number of prehistoric periods. Its EM IIB houses are among the best preserved, incorporating architectural features that reveal how the inhabitants managed the transition between single- and two-storied buildings, and how they, usually, reached their upper levels, probably …
Central Ceiling and Roof Supports in Early Minoan Ii Architecture
This article focuses on some central supporting walls one can see in certain buildings at Early Minoan Hagia Triadha, Fournou Korifi (Myrtos) and Vasiliki. The walls, which have Π-, C-, and L- shapes, have been viewed as central ceiling/roof supports. But that interpretation is only a partial one, for it does not explain the walls' ‘enclosing’ shapes. The solution I argue for here is that a ladder was set in each, providing access to the roof in …

Bathing at the Mycenaean Palace of Tiryns
Among Heinrich Schliemann’s discoveries of architecture at Mycenaean Tiryns in the Argolid Plain in southern Greece, one of the most impressive was a single huge rectangular stone slab that covered the floor of a relatively small square room. The slab’s surface was smoothed down and provided with drilled sockets to anchor a wooden dado. The slab was tilted slightly to provide a slope for water to run off through a carved trough and surely served …
Tracing the Ancestry of the Minoan Hall System
Among the more intriguing Minoan architectural forms is the so-called ‘Minoan Hall’. It consists, at its simplest, of a light well, a fore hall, and a room ( polythyron ) closed off by what are known as pier-and-door partitions. The Hall was located in the residential areas of the palaces, also in some Neopalatial houses, and was usually accompanied by a ‘lustral basin’, a square sunken room reached by steps often flanked by an elaborate balustra…
Sequencing the EH II ‘Corridor Houses’
One of the most exciting discoveries in Greek prehistory is a type of building of Early Helladic II date, discussed earlier by the present author and nicknamed “Corridor House.” The present study concerns itself with the relative chronology of seven of these, using two main criteria. One criterion concerns structural changes that can be ordered chronologically, namely the use of partial or complete “corridors” alongside a series of axially set ro…
Akrotiri, Thera
Roof drains and parapets in the southern Aegean
Excavations at Akrotiri on Thera, where some house roofs remain intact, have shown that U-shaped terracotta drains, set projecting out beyond the outside walls, drained roof terraces. These terraces were often surrounded by built parapets. What then of contemporary Neopalatial buildings on Crete, where construction and style are similar but much less is preserved? Evidence for the appearance and use of roofs and parapets there consists of drains …
The "Lost" Portico at Knossos
When Evans excavated the Palace at Knossos he found the eastern part of the central court eroded down to at least 2 m below its original floor level. He also discovered that just east of the court was a huge terrace-like cutting, within which were preserved the Grand Staircase and the Residential Quarter. Since then it has been assumed that the western walls of these two areas formed the edge of the court. This article offers a different solution…

Kommos: An Excavation on the South Coast of Crete, Volume I
Kommos, located on the south coast of Crete, is widely known for its important sanctuary of the Greek period. and for its earlier role as a major Minoan harbortown. Volumes II and III of this series on the results of the major excavations there have already been published. Now Part I of Volume I offers a general introduction to the site with chapters on the history and character of its excavation seen within the context of earlier archaeological …

Phoenicians in Southern Crete
During the 1979 excavation season at Kommos, a curious structure with three tapering stone pillars was discovered on the floor of a Geometric/Archaic temple, above which lay a fourth-century B. C. Greek temple. The tripillar structure appears to have been a center of worship particularly in the late ninth and eighth centuries B. C. Its appearance and certain historical and archaeological indications suggest that it may have been inspired by Phoen…
Evidence for the Minoan Tripartite Shrine
Our knowledge of the Minoan Tripartite Shrine, once based chiefly on evidence from Knossos and Mycenae, is constantly accumulating. One incompletely published building foundation from Vathypetro, for instance, is surely that of such a shrine. The depiction in relief on the now famous Shrine Rhyton from the Palace of Kato Zakros furnishes, upon careful analysis, even fuller evidence for the layout, location, and appearance of such structures. As a…

The Early Helladic II Corridor House
During the past 30 years of excavation, a new, major type of prehistoric building has appeared at various sites in Greece (Table 1), one which is as characteristic of its own culture as the Mycenaean and Minoan palaces are of theirs. The best known and most developed example is the House of the Tiles at Lerna. The type, without any obvious Early Helladic I precursors, runs its course in EH II and then disappears after the unrest attested archaeol…

New Evidence for Aegean Roof Construction from Bronze Age Thera
Sliding panels at Knossos
I. While excavating at Knossos, Sir Arthur Evans discovered remains of a uniform group of unusual, if not unique, compartments in the North-east area of the Minoan Palace (Plates 32–3, Figs. 1–4). Unlike most groups of adjacent rooms of similar dimensions facing on to a corridor, those at Knossos are joined neither by doorways nor by solid party walls. Rather, their common side walls are interrupted by openings that, from all indications, were de…
