Tylissos

Tylissos was excavated 1909–1913 by Joseph Hadzidakis, 1953–1955 by Nicholas Platon and in 1971 by A. Kanta [1]. The town was in use Early Minoan II to Late Minoan IIIA, and the nearby peak sanctuary, excavated in 1963 by Alexiou, was in use until at least Late Minoan IA [1]. Structures include houses, a cistern and an aqueduct with clay pipes [1]. Excavation finds have included a pithos with Linear A inscriptions, stone horns, and clay human and animal figurines [1].
