Zusammenfassung:
This work provides a comprehensive study of the Protopalatial building located on the southern slope of the Acropoli Mediana at Phaistos, excavated by Doro Levi in 1969 and 1971. The analysis includes the architectural structures and ceramic finds from Rooms CV, CVI, and CVII, with a focus on their construction phases, chronology, and functions. The study reexamines previously unpublished pottery and contextual evidence, identifying four architectural phases spanning from MM IB to MM IIB. The research highlights the building's official functions, its use of refined materials, and its connection to community drinking practices, as evidenced by ceramic assemblages. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Minoan architecture and social practices.
