Pseira
VIII: The Pseira Island Survey. Part 1
edited by Philip P. Betancourt,
Costis Davaras,
and Richard Hope Simpson
Richard B. Seager excavated the Minoan
town and cemetery at Pseira in 1906–1907, but the work was
not fully published. The Temple University excavations (1985–1994)
under the direction of Philip P. Betancourt and Costis Davaras
conducted an intensive surface survey of the island. The results
of the survey on the small island off the northeast coast
of Crete are published in two volumes. Pseira VIII presents
the results from the corollary studies that accompany the
surface survey. Pseira IX presents the results from the intensive
surface survey.
