It is difficult to get a sense of the palaces’ overall plans because we only know them in patches. The best conserved group of rooms comes from Phaistos (Levi 1976; F. Carinci, 9th Cretological, 2006, vol. A2, 23–39). Neopalatial construction on the top of the acropolis has meant that an important section of the remains of the first building, at a lower level on the southwest slope, has been preserved (Figure 13.1). Particularly notable among these remains are rows of storage magazines and a set of spaces interpreted as cult rooms; thousands of clay sealings that were baked in the fire marking the end of the period attest to the existence in this sector of administrative activity.
