Από τον πρόλογο

Kavousi IIB:  The Late Minoan IIIC Settlement at Vronda. Houses on the Periphery is the second volume in the final report on the cleaning and excavations at Vronda, Kavousi, which were conducted between 1983 and 1992 by Geraldine C. Gesell, Leslie Preston Day, and the late William D.E. Coulson. The first volume of the final report on the LM IIIC settlement, Kavousi IIA:  The Late Minoan IIIC Settlement at Vronda. The Buildings on the Summit, describes the buildings on top of the Vronda ridge: Building A-B, Building Complexes C-D and J-K, and Buildings P, Q, and R.

Kavousi IIB describes the buildings on the slopes of the Vronda ridge: Building Complexes E, I-O-N, and L-M, Building F, and the pottery kiln, as well as areas excavated on the periphery that did not belong to any of these buildings. The division of the publication of the buildings into two sections is purely arbitrary and based on the topography of the site, although the locations of the buildings may have had some meaning for the ancient inhabitants. The third volume on the LM IIIC settlement, Kavousi IIC, consists of focused reports and analysis by specialists on the architecture, pottery, objects, and floral and faunal remains recovered in the excavations of Vronda, and it contains a reconstruction of the history of the site and of the society of the LM IIIC settlement. Reports on the LM IIIC Shrine (Building G) and the later Geometric cemetery at Vronda will follow as separate books. The Kavousi series will also include volumes on the excavations on the Kastro, a site high on the mountain above and to the east of Vronda.
