Apodoulou

Apodoulou is the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan mansion or ceremonial building on Crete [1]. It overlooks the Libyan Sea from an altitude of 450 metres above sea level [1]. Apodoulou was first excavated by Spyridon Marinatos in 1934 [1]. The area was inhabited from Late Neolithic times to the Late Minoan period, and the building was in use in the Middle Minoan III period [1]. The site has yielded Linear A inscriptions on a basin and fragments of a stone cylindrical jar, as well as a small golden axe [1].
