Palaikastro Tsunami Deposit
In my earlier article on the Thera eruption of 1628 B.C., I mentioned tsunami deposit layers at sites along the north coast of Crete. Here is a deposit layer from Palaikastro in northeastern Crete. The colored material you see is jumbled pottery, animal bones, bits of frescoes, and other debris from the tsunami which slammed into the town; the presence of deep-sea marine shells and microbial life among the deposits demonstrated that it was a tsunami, not an earthquake or other disaster, that was responsible for the destruction layer.
The material is so widespread, thrown together, and removed from its proper archaeological context that I don't know whether a serious effort has or will be made to carry out excavations. Archaeologists are always short of money and resources, and most of their work nowadays deals with the conservation of existing sites and artifacts.
