II. AGIA TRIADA
The site of a Palace and adjoining houses dating chiefly from the Late Minoan I
Period. From the Palace itself only one object has come, though the excavators claim
two stone bowls found with it as Egyptian in spite of the fact that the material of
which they are made is not Egyptian.
In a large domed tomb about five minutes east of the Palace two scarabs and an
amulet have come to light, and in a chamber-tomb situated inside an older house was
discovered the most important object of all, the scarab of Queen Tiyi, wife of Amen-
hotep III of the XVIIIth Dynasty, 1412-1376 B.C.
The tholos of course belongs to the series discovered in the Messara Plain and
dating from Early Minoan times; the finds in the Palace and the chamber-tomb only
confirm our knowledge of the Late Minoan I—II Period.
