10. CULTURAL
CONDITION:

11. SPECIAL
STRUCTURE:
The Great Bath was entered using two wide
staircases, one from the north and one from
the south. The floor of the tank is watertight
due to finely fitted bricks laid on edge with
gypsum plaster. Brick colonnades were
discovered on the eastern, northern and
southern edges, but the western edge (at
the left) was missing. Sir John Marshall
assumed that they would have been
present and subsequent reconstructions
have replaced these missing columns.

Aegean civilization is a general term for the Bronze Age

There are three distinct but communicating and
interacting geographic regions covered by this
