Kamares, Crete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Kamares (Crete), Greece)
Kamares is the location of an archaeological site of a Minoan sacred cave in south-central Crete, Greece.[1] The sacred cave at Kamares is slightly offset from a saddle in the Psiloriti Range virtually aligned with the location of nearby Phaistos.[2] Some of the best examples of Middle Minoan pottery have been recovered from the Kamares cave.[3] Kamares has provided the type name for Kamares ware, a ceramic type dating from MM IA, or the First Palace Period. This pottery is a light-on-dark polychrome ware, with forms including jugs and cups.
