For references to the tomb of Zeus in writers of the Renaissance and of modern times
see supra i. 158 ff. A fifteenth-century map of Crete in the British Museum (MS. Add.
15, 760, f. 11), published by F. W. Hasluck in the Ann. Brit. Sch. Ath. 1905—1906 xii.
214 f. pi. 1, not only marks the Sepulcru(m) Iouis but adds a view of it, though—to judge
from the representation of the neighbouring Laberintus as a circular maze-like structure—
this is in the nature of a fancy-sketch.

A. Taramelli in 1899 published a rough plan of Mt. Juktas (sup?-a i. 159 fig. 130), and
drew special attention to the precinct-wall of 'Cyclopean' masonry, which crowns its
northern summit at a height of c. 2300 ft above the sea (supra i. 160 fig. 132, 161 fig. 133).
Within the wall he duly noted the scattered traces of a building, together with much
broken pottery including pieces of ' Minoan ' pithoi (sipra i. 161 n. 1).

Sir A. J. Evans in 1909 determined the approximate date of the precinct-wall by
finding in its inner interstices sherds of ' Middle Minoan i a' ware. ' Middle Minoan i'
sherds were also abundant over the rocky surface enclosed by the wall. The cult here
carried on passed through two well-marked phases, of ' Middle Minoan' and ' Late
Minoan' date respectively.

During the earlier phase offerings were made in the open air at a great altar of ashes.
This is represented by two strata—a layer of grey ashes yielding ceramic remains of the
periods 'Middle Minoan i and ii,' and above it a layer of reddish burnt earth yielding
sherds of ' Middle Minoan iii' date. Throughout both strata were votive relics in terra
cotta—among the ashes, male and female figures, oxen, goats, human limbs (an arm per-
forated for suspension, two legs joined together), parts of animals (numerous clay ox-horns),
