THE CERAMIC DEPOSITS AT ANEMOSPILIA (ARCHANES): A CENTRAL CRETAN PERSPECTIVE

LUCA GIRELLA

The paper is concerned with the overall character of the pottery and the relative chronology of the Anemospilia/Archanes building on Juktas. The ceramic assemblages are discussed according to their position within the same. Re-examination of the ceramic deposits of the nearby building of Alonaki and publications of MM III ceramic deposits in central Crete allow a reconsideration of the Anemospilia deposits and building function. It will be argued that a final stage of the MM IIIA period for dating the ceramic material cannot be ruled out. Finally, a general reconsideration of the building within the context of the monuments on Juktas mountain in MM III will be presented.

Luca Girella is Associate Professor in Aegean Archaeology at the Uninettuno University, Rome.
