Abstract
During his travels in Crete 1894–9, Sir Arthur Evans discovered the site of Athropolithous near Epano Zakro, Sitias; he also recovered clay figurines from the site. Though never excavated, the site has figured prominently in discussions about Minoan cult places. There has arisen some confusion about its exact identification. To clarify the issue Evans's notes and the finds are published here. In addition, the classification of Athropolithous as a cult place is discussed, and is used as an example of a more rigorous approach to the identification of shrine sites.
