Excavations at Palaikastro. IV: § 6.—A Larnax-Burial

  • R. M. Dawkins
Extract

The ridge of conglomerate and gravel, on the lower stretch of which the Middle Minoan ossuary was found in 1902, descends from the slopes of Petsofá, parallel to a second ridge a little to the west. Between the two the ground sinks, and the overhanging ledges seemed likely to harbour tombs; and indeed several interesting objects were found here last year when a good many trenches were made on these slopes. This year trialpits were dug all round this sunken area. In two of them worked stones were found in disorder, but nothing else.
