The Excavation of Chrysokamino-Chomatas: A Preliminary Report

Cheryl R. Floyd & Philip P. Betancourt Hesperia 79.4 (2010): 465-498.

Abstract

Excavations in 1996 and 1997 at Chrysokamino-Chomatas, a site near the Chrysokamino metallurgy workshop in East Crete, revealed two architectural phases from the Late Minoan period in addition to earlier (pre-LM IB) and later (post–Bronze Age) remains. The first architectural phase, destroyed in LM IB-Final, consisted of the poorly preserved walls of a single isolated building. Above it were the remains of a LM IIIA2–IIIB-Early farmstead. The LM IB building, which was incompletely preserved, possessed several interesting deposits, including one with a complete copper or bronze dagger. The LM III complex was an isolated farmstead with abundant evidence for activities related to farming and animal husbandry.
