Document Summary

Early period when most houses were basic and full of relatives, so surprising when this structure was built so intense with mazes and labyrinth. Most periods later on in greek civilization, houses are built with lead walls and stone foundations. Therefore only the outline of the foundation is left today. Evans restored the levels and floors of the past houses, he was wrong but cannot fix them now. The minoans: akroteri- less well known bronze age site. Modern reinforcement, elaborate, but less modern intervention. Used to be a farmer"s field, things kept turning up and started excavating in 16 and 17 hundreds (recent). They wanted to sell all the artifacts for money. There are many pieces of art around europe that they do not know where they came from because of the early excavations and selling for money. Bronze age town located on the island of santorini.
