Trapeza, Crete is a Neolithic and Bronze Age sacred cave on the island of Crete in Greece [1]. Some of the Bronze Age pottery finds at Trapeza are similar to specimens recovered at Knossos and Vasiliki [1]. It is described as a "burial cave", and sometimes called the "table of Minos" (trapeza meaning 'table' in Greek) [1].
