VIII a. THE ROYAL TOMB AT ISOPATA
The tomb is situated about two miles north of the Palace. It is a rectangular
vaulted structure approached by a long dromos which leads into a narrow fore-hall, on
either side of which are two large niches. In the north-east corner of the tomb is a
grave-pit in the form of a double axe. The tomb seems to have been in use for a con-
siderable period after its construction, probably at the end of Late Minoan I or the
beginning of Late Minoan II.
