Trapeza, Crete
Trapeza, Crete is a Neolithic and Bronze Age sacred cave on the island of Crete in Greece.[1] Some of the Bronze Age pottery finds at Trapeza are similar to specimens recovered at Knossos and Vasiliki.[2]
It is described as a "burial cave", and sometimes called the "table of Minos" (trapeza meaning table in Greek).
