the site’s history, from the foundation of the settlement in Ancient Minoan period to the Hellenistic era. The reading of the
surrounding landscape, characterised by the presence of the sea, the river Hieropotamos and Mount Ida, in the light of the
cosmological imagery of the Bronze Age, suggests its involvement in the choice of the place for cult practices.

Phaistos between the Neolithic and the Late Roman Period (2021-2025). The activities included both excavation campaigns (2022-
2023) and study campaigns (2021-2023), of which the preliminary results are presented here. The excavation campaigns investigated
the area to the W and NW of the archaeological area, clarifying various aspects left open by previous excavations. The
soundings brought to light the continuation of the Neolithic wall already identified in 2002 (Sounding 3), a sequence of floor
levels dating back to between the EM III and the MM IIB period (Sounding 7), an enchytrismos burial of the MM III (Sounding
1 West), and a series of stratigraphic sequences dating between LM IIIC and the archaic period (Soundings 1, 3, 8). Noteworthy
is the discovery of a bronze panoply in Room OO (Sounding 5). For the most recent phases, a complex of Hellenistic rooms was
re-excavated whose position was not certain (Sounding 2, Rooms n1-3), and Hellenistic levels were brought to light in Soundings
4 and 7. Among the finds a fragment of vase with possible dedication to Hermes, datable to 450-425 BC. The research activities
concerned in particular the application of quantitative methods to LM IIIC-PG architectures (W.A.L(L) project), the survey
with georeferencing of kernoi and mason’s marks and the epigraphic analysis of Linear A texts. The latter, conducted with RTI
and HDR techniques, allowed the identification of a new sign in the epigraphic corpus of Phaistos and suggested the existence of
possible papyrus, leather or parchment supports on which some of the documents had been placed.
