There are three major phases of development at the Greek sanctuary of Kommos in Crete. The first is Protogeometric to Geometric, the time of temple A. The next, with a focus on temple B, occured during the Geometric to Archaic period, after which there was a hiatus before temple C, built ca. 375 B.C., introduced a phase of development that would peak in the Late Hellenistic period. The acme of the second phase of ritual activity was during the seventh century. During the two or three generation before ca. 600 B.C. the Kommos sanctuary apparently served as a place for regular commerce that would pass by ship along the southern shore of Crete. the study of the pattern of imported pottery from the bulding Q will serve as a contribution to studies of patterns of Aegean trade and interconnections during that period
