. Il palazzo di Minos : un resoconto comparativo delle fasi successive della civiltà cretese, come illustrato dalle scoperte di Cnosso. La sua parete nord, formedof eccezionalmente fine, blocchi di pietra calcarea strettamente compattati, è stata simmetricalydivisa da una porta, che si apre sulla piccola Corte oltre, su entrambi i lati del quale era, probabilmente, una finestra. Nella parte successiva di questo periodo, quando la Camera stessa è stata suddivisa, l'apertura della porta è stata ristretta, essendo parzialmente bloccata dalla parete divisoria, e la vecchia soglia sembra essersi innalzata e accorciata (vedi elevazione, F

. The palace of Minos : a comparative account of the successive stages of the early Cretan civilization as illustrated by the discoveries at Knossos . the present Period. Its North wall, formedof exceptionally fine, closely compacted limestone blocks, was symmetricallydivided by a doorway, opening on the little Court beyond, on either side ofwhich was, probably, a window. In the later part of this Period, when theChamber itself was subdivided, the door opening was narrowed, being partlyblocked by the partition wall, and the old threshold seems to have beenraised and shortened (see Elevation, Fig. 262). This N. wall itself, aswill be here seen, was laid on a rubble filling overlying a M. M. II See p. 231 seqq. and Fig. 175. ?^ Excavations of 1913. M. M. Ill : N.E. BORDERS AND BASEMENTS OF E.

The water from this, as will be seen from the Plan, Fig. 266, p. 367 below, found its way by a small conduit to a circular blind-well in the Court itself, which was found choked with pottery belonging to both the earlier and theconcluding phase of the M.
