POSTPALATIAL Sample Clauses

POSTPALATIAL. This period has not been of primary focus for any project and some only barely record some kind of activity due to research interests (Minoan Roads). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for example, has actually studied the bigger number of settlements of this period as he is interested in the end of the Bronze Age. However, even projects that have studied human activity over time, report a reduction of sites in this period especially along the coast; In Hagia Photia activity is halved and consists mainly of 1 settlement and 1 habitation, while not much is known from Itanos either. At Praisos we have 1 possible habitation and 1-5 LM III tombs, while Ziros reports 1 settlement and 2-3 tombs. It is stated (Praisos) that there seems to be a retreat from the coast and occupation of inland areas, even though in Palaikastro there is a rebuilding programme during LM IIIA/B and the town is occupied until its abandonment at the end of LM IIIB. Postpalatial times have traditionally been known through LM III tombs (Pendlebury, Wroncka), but more recently settlements have also been recognised and studied. ▇▇ ▇▇ is one of the least recognisable periods over time and in our area we know only that in Palaikastro, there is sporadic reoccupation during this period. Overall, it seems that people have created larger communities as attested through settlement nucleation and burials.
