Along these roads one can find numerous indicators for
Minoan colonisation, e.g. a Bronze Age cave near Kylistria or peak sanctuaries in Gonies and Keria (Rutkowski
1988). Nevertheless, it is still uncertain if Zominthos must be considered as a unique object or if, with regard to
the environmental setting, there are additional locations that could have been very favourable for human
settlement since the third millennium B.C.E.
