• Introduction; Excavation and Stratigraphy; Pottery; Other Finds; Discussion of the Excavation Evidence; Mortuary Practices; Conclusions; Appendix: The Human Remains (Sevi Triantaphyllou).

The book is a very thorough, detailed and careful publication of the excavation context, with many illustrations of the plan and stratigraphic section of the tholos, the location of burials and distribution of the individual finds, in a way which is exceptional in publications of prepalatial cemeteries.[...]...an extremely useful work for every student of prepalatial Minoan Crete and an excellent documentation of a prepalatial tholos tomb assemblage.' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review
