Petsofas is the archaeological site of a Minoan peak sanctuary in eastern Crete.[1] It overlooks the Minoan town of Palaeokastro and was excavated by John Myres in 1903. He discovered a large number of clay figurines, including animal and human figures dating to 1900 to 1450. [2]

Archaeology

Among the ubiquitous human and animal figurines found in peak sanctuaries, Petsofas uniquely has clay figurines of weasels and tortoises. Some Petsophas cylinder seals bear a male figure resembling specimens recovered at the Minoan site of Knossos.[3] Stone lamps, ceramic altars and ceramic building models have also been found at Petsofas.
