Abstract
The School's main excavation of 1967 was at Knossos, where work was resumed after an interval of five years. In addition, under the sponsorship of the School, Mr E. S. Higgs's excavations in two Palaeolithic caves in Epirus were rounded off and Dr P. Warren excavated an Early Minoan settlement on the South coast of Crete. Outside Greece, the School sponsored further survey work at Tocra in Libya and a supplementary excavation season at a Byzantine-Frankish castle in Cyprus.The latest radiocarbon datings available confirm that the Asprochaliko and Kastritsa caves are to a large extent complementary. Only the former includes Middle Palaeolithic deposits (one of them dated around 40,000 BC), but for the Upper Palaeolithic period the two together have provided the only known full succession between France and the Levant. At Kastritsa, the 1967 campaign exposed successive beaches within the caves formed by periodical changes in the level of the Lake, the latest datable about 22,000 BC.
