Modern Description: A substantial Minoan villa was found by Mrs. S. Platon on the road between Siteia and Piskokefalo. Unfortunately it has been cut in two in the construction of the carriage-road, and has suffered further damage by bulldozing. It belongs to the period of transition from the Middle Minoan to the Late Minoan period. The great entrance stairway with two flights of twelve steps each, giving access from the stream which ran in front of the Megaron, the porter's lodge with two narrow intercon- necting rooms, three magazines with pithoi in situ, and some small rooms approached up a short flight of steps have been uncovered. (J.M. Cook, AR 1952)
