For the observation that the LM I A earthquake probably preceded and maybe even precipitated the Santorini eruption, see Driessen, J.

Platon's published references to his findings at the time and theories about the House of the Frescoes are to be found in Kr. Shaw is also indebted to Lefteris Platon, for allowing her to access a short unpublished description and a plan of the house prepared by Nicolas Platon on the occasion of the latter's conservation work in that area of Knossos in 1958–9. Equally appreciated were Fotou's sharing of her valuable views about the house and its frescoes, and constructive criticisms. Shaw wishes to thank Vasso Fotou for sending her copies of selections from Evans's Archives (often accompanied by her own transcriptions of Evans's writing), as well as of a number of plans of the house that precede the one seen in the final publication in The Palace of Minos. Comments on selective aspects of the excavation, the building, and the finds (especially the frescoes) can be found in Evans's notebooks in the Evans Archives in the Ashmolean ( AE/NB 1924, 1925, 1926 ). The main excavation report is in DM/DB 1923 (3: for May-June and 1–30July) the principal published account of this house is PM ii, 2. Detailed stylistic and iconographic analysis places the Crocus Panel within the Neopalatial tradition of wall painting.Ģ The house was excavated in 1923, followed by supplementary excavations in 1926. Stylistic and iconographic associations confirm the distribution of red-flowered crocuses, undulating bands, and an olive tree, but evidence for the attribution of two agrimia and blue-flowered crocuses remains weak. Part Two, undertaken primarily by Chapin, publishes a new reconstruction of the Crocus Panel that incorporates 14 previously unpublished fresco fragments in addition to the 14 fragments previously attributed to the composition. Shaw's review of the archaeological evidence and architectural comparanda suggests further that the House of the Frescoes may have been one-storied and that Room H-3 is the most likely candidate for frescoed decoration. Shaw's close reading of the original excavation reports written by Mackenzie, however, yields no evidence for an upper storey. Subsequent publication of the Monkeys and Birds Fresco suggested that the composition originally decorated a room on an upper floor of the House of the Frescoes. Discovered in 1923 during excavations led by Duncan Mackenzie, the frescoes were found in a deposit in Space E on the ground floor of the building.
