VASI IN PIETRA DAI LIVELLI MM II DAL «SETTORE NORD-EST» DI HAGHIA TRIADA

Abstract

A small group of fourteen stone vases was found at Haghia Triada during the excavations 1991 and 1992 in the area of the Complesso della Mazza di Breccia. These stone vases are four big hemispherical cups, five lids, a bird’s nest bowl, a jag with concave side, a libation table, a fragment block vase, a one-handle troncoconical cup. All have the same typological characteristics of those found at Phaistos, especially those from the Palace, and confirm the presence in this area, during the MM II, of an important cult place. Three of the vases were found incomplete, and are, probably, the indicators of the existence of a stone vase workshop, controlled directly by the priests active in this area
