Abstract

Building Z at Kommos is built into one of the Late Minoan shipsheds of Building P; its major phase of use is in the Middle Geometric period. The pottery from the building, including earlier Iron Age material and some from post-use deposition, is fully published here. The totality gives the opportunity of seeing the various contemporary products of the Mesara in fuller detail than is provided by other published sets of material. The purpose of the building is unclear, but it appears to have served a subsidiary function to that of the temple to the north. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
