The Neopalatial architectural and ceramic sequence at Malia. New insights from Area Pi
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The exploration of Area Pi, a residential quarter within the Bronze Age settlement of Malia, on the North-eastern coast of Crete, started in 2005 for six seasons of excavation (2005, 2007-2008, 2010, 2014 and 2020). These excavation campaigns alternated with study seasons which all involved several specialists of different kinds of archaeological artifacts and paleoenvironmental ecofacts, as well as a large team of students. This paper discusses the architectural and stratigraphical phasing of the Neopalatial occupation of this part of the settlement, and provides a new definition of the Neopalatial ceramic sequence at Malia based on the stratigraphy and the analyses of the ceramic assemblages excavated in Area Pi. Overall, the outcome of this research project makes it possible to propose a new scenario for the development of the town between the 17th and the 15th centuries BC. In broad terms, the study allows us to reconsider the different episodes of growth and turmoil of the major site of Malia within the general history of Minoan Neopalatial Crete.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
