Richard B. Seager excavated the Minoan cemetery at Pseira in 1907,
but the work was never published. The Temple University excavations
(1985-1994) under the direction of Philip P. Betancourt and Costis
Davaras conducted an intensive surface survey of the cemetery area,
cleaned and drew plans of all visible tombs, and excavated tombs
that had not been previously excavated. The results of the cemetery
excavations on the small island off the northeast coast of Crete
are published in two volumes. Pseira VII presents the results from
the excavation and cleaning of the 19 tombs that still exist at the
Pseira cemetery. The cemetery is remarkable for the diversity of
its tomb types. Burials were in cist graves built of vertical slabs
(a class with Cycladic parallels), in small tombs constructed of
fieldstones, in house tombs, and in jars. Burials were communal, as
is usual in Minoan cemeteries. Artifacts included clay vases, stone
vessels, obsidian, bronze tools, jewelry, and other objects.
