Sub-Minoan refuge city.
Kastrokephala in Crete is a fortified site located on a hill above Heraklion bay. From around 1200 to 1150/1130 BCE a small community lived on this hill, protected by a thick wall and high precipices. Archaeological evidence suggests that in this settlement Mycenaean immigrants coexisted with the native population.
