EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Minoan archaeological site of Phaistos, specifically focusing on the west magazines. These large storerooms were an integral part of the palace complex, consisting of an antechamber, a corridor connecting to the storerooms themselves, and 11 individual storage spaces on either side. The column seen in the image provided crucial support for the roof above. Adjacent to the central court, one can find the entrance to this fascinating antechamber. Beneath its floor lies a remarkable discovery - the Archive Room of the Old Palace dating back to 1900-1700 BC. This room contained over 6000 clay sealings or impressions on clay balls that served as a means to monitor and track goods stored within these magazines. The photograph was captured by Frank Buffetrille and is now out of copyright restrictions. It beautifully captures not only the architectural elements but also offers insight into ancient Minoan civilization's organizational systems and their meticulous approach towards managing resources. Through this image, viewers are transported back in time, gaining a glimpse into Phaistos' rich history and its significance as an important center for trade and administration during Minoan times.
