Petras, Siteia II
A Minoan Palatial Settlement in Eastern Crete: Late Bronze Age Pottery from Houses I.1 and I.2
by Metaxia Tsipopoulou
This volume is the second of two that represent the final publication of Sector I of the Prepalatial to Postpalatial Minoan urban settlement and palace of Petras, Siteia, located in eastern Crete. It presents in detail the Late Bronze Age pottery recovered during the excavations conducted there from 1985 to 2000. The Neopalatial and Late Minoan II to III pottery from Houses I.1 and I.2 is analyzed and discussed with a focus on the main Neopalatial period of the Petras settlement and its Postpalatial reoccupation. The petrographic analysis of a select group of pottery from House I.1 is also detailed, allowing for a discussion of patterns in production and consumption over time.

"Tsipopoulou is to be congratulated for arranging the presentation of the evidence in a logical and intuitive manner, including the necessary explanations and references to previous publications of the material, and providing very helpful concordances and tables so that anyone wishing to really dig into the material has a roadmap to do so. This makes it easier to engage with the material from this very important Minoan site and allows us to look forward to future volumes in its ongoing publication." Smith, R. Angus K., Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2023.08.04
