The excavation will continue this year in Area 3, so more images will be definitely posted during summer.

Were any storage boxes found built into any of the floors, as were found at Knossos? If so, what was stored?

Dear Saxon,

Thank you very much for your comments. The excavation will start again in the coming July. If we are still there when you will come back to Crete, we will be more than happy to let you have a tour…

Dear Clayton, since the excavation is still in progress and we have only excavated a couple of the rooms, we cannot be sure about the use of the rest of the areas. However, it is certain that we will be surprised in the forseeable future…Thanks for your comments!!

Yes, I can’t wait until work starts up again. This is one of the most fascinating subjects. Thank you for the “Interactive” site, I hope it continues.

What a fascinating story developing through this amazing excavation site at Zominthos.Thank you for the opportunity to share some of the excitement of the finds and discoveries. I am devoted to the Minoans and have visited Crete four times. I am so interested to know that there were “Highlanders” amongst our sea-faring friends from so long ago. I plan on visiting Crete again in late September/early October this year 2010. Could one make a request to Dr Sakellarakis for permission to visit the site? I would be most grateful. My email address is Saxon@chartwellgroup.co.za
I presume that you will start work again in the Summer? with thanks and keep up the wonderful work and good luck for more terrific discoveries. Saxon de Kock (Mrs.) – Johannesburg, South Africa
