Abstract
(en) ABSTRACT – The Limestone Levelling Course of the Western Façade of the Protopalatial Palace at Malia. A series of grey black crystalline and grey sandy limestone blocks were reused in the Neopalatial palace at Malia in the shape of various architectural features (e.g. column bases, thresholds, steps or lintels). A detailed study has shown that these were initially forming the levelling course of the western façade of the Protopalatial palace. The materials used and the care taken in shaping the blocks indicate the quality of the architectural project. Their restitution within the Protopalatial palace of Malia also highlights the similarities with the palaces at Knossos and Phaistos, thus stressing a community of architectural practices amongst the Cretan palaces in the Protopalatial period.
