Mochlos is a Minoan town set on a fine harbour at the eastern side of
the Gulf of Mirabello, in northeast Crete. It was first inhabited during
the Neolithic period, and it had an important Minoan settlement during
most of the Bronze Age. Mochlos I, to be published in three volumes,
presents the results of the excavations in the Neopalatial levels of the
Artisans' Quarter, and at the farmhouse at Chalinomouri. The Artisans'
Quarter consisted of a series of workshops with evidence for pottery
manufacture, metalworking, and weaving. Chalinomouri, a semi-independent
farmhouse with strong connections to the nearby island settlement at
Mochlos, was engaged in craftwork and foodprocessing as well as
agriculture. This volume, Mochlos IB, presents the pottery from the
site.
