This is the first of five planned volumes to present the primary
archaeological report about the excavation of the cave of Hagios
Charalambos in eastern Crete. The Minoans used this small cavern as an
ossuary for the secondary burial of human remains and grave goods,
primarily during the Early and Middle Bronze Age. The geography and
geology surrounding the cave is discussed along with the methodology of
the excavation. A portion of the pottery and all of the small finds are
presented with many illustrations.
