Abstract
The site of Karphi, comprising Karphi proper, Mikre and Megale Koprana, was discovered, like most prehistoric sites in Crete, by Sir Arthur Evans. In June 1896 he visited Lasithi and cleared one of the tombs at Ta Mnemata (see below, page 101). With his usual generosity, he lent the writers the diary of his travels, which contained, besides other valuable information, an admirable sketch plan of the surface remains on Karphi and the Kopranas.In 1935 Miss Money-Coutts and J. D. S. Pendlebury ascended from Kera to the West. The impression then gained from the sherds on the surface of the city site was that it was of Late Minoan date, an excusable mistake, as will be seen from the finds.
