Two MM IIA deposits in sector Pi at Malia

This article presents two deposits of material in secondary context that came to light in 2008 and 2010 in the northern section of sector Pi at Malia, where the main phase recognized corresponds to the destruction horizon of Quartier Mu (MM IIB). Nevertheless, the ceramics of these deposits belong to an earlier phase dated to the MM IIA, a phase for which evidence is still scarce at Malia. Although these are clearly deposits not associated with any kind of architectural remains, their publication can be useful in defining the chrono-typology of the ceramics at Malia. The presentation of other categories of material found in these deposits also offers some clues as to the ways of life at Malia during the Protopalatial period.
