In the courtyard, which was placed outside the palace because the palace was so small, there is what might be a sacrificial stone. Holes carved in the stone may have enabled a table to be slotted in, on which the animal to be sacrificed was tied. Another hole may have been for fixing a religious symbol, for example a double axe. This small shrine was 3 metres by 4 metres and had a ledge on the south side for the placing of cult objects. In the shrine, the finds themselves dated from a much later period and included idols of a goddess with raised arms and a clay vessel with handles on either side in the form of snakes and a relief of horns of consecration.
Steps lead up through the industrial town to the Palace area at the top of the hill.
The palace did not survive long and was destroyed by an earthquake. In Late Minion IA it was turned into workers' accommodation and an industrial settlement developed, growing out from the centre. Covering an area of 25,000 square metres, it can be divided into seven separate quarters. Two roads encircled the lower and upper parts of the town, joined together by steps. Flat stone probably used for blood sacrifice.
