Excavations at Palaikastro. III: § 5.—Block ξ
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2013
Extract
This large block, covering about 650 sq. m., lies to the south of Block ε on the slope of the hillock that overlooks the town on the south. Bounded on three sides by streets, towards the south the remains become gradually thinner, disappearing with the rise of the ground and the shallower soil. The superposition of one wall upon another, and the objects found at different levels, enable us to distinguish at least three separate strata of habitation. To begin from the top, a few finds point to houses as late as Late Minoan III. b, that is, to the period of the latest floor-deposits in Block γ.

page 207 note 1 Further examination shows that the tips of the horns did not join the vase exactly as suggested in the figure, for the broken projection, drawn as the tip of the horns, is shown to have been another small handle by the presence of a similar complete handle on the opposite side of the vase. It is probable that the horns were not actually joined at the tips, as the rim shows hardly any possibility of such a junction.
