Pseira, v. 1 - The Minoan Buildings on the West Side of Area A (Hardcover)

Pseira, a tiny islet near the coast of eastern Crete, has been called a priceless jewel in Crete's archaeological crown. In 1906 and 1907, the American archaeologist Richard Seager unearthed the extensive remains of a Bronze Age village here. Little was known about this site until a joint Greek-American project directed by Philip P Betancourt and Costis Davaras returned to the island in 1985. This is the first volume in a series of final publications on the joint excavations.The site is a seaport dating from the end of the Final Neolithic until the Late Minoan period. This volume presents a series of houses whose main period of occupation is Late Minoan IB. The architecture is constructed of stone and remarkably well preserved. The text includes detailed catalog entries, profile drawings, and stone-by-stone architectural plans.
